What to do when Monthly filter cleaning (hard water) shows on the home applianceKind of codeFilters
A filter has reached the end of its life or is clogged enough for the appliance to notice: a refrigerator water cartridge past its gallons or months, a hood's grease or charcoal filter loaded with residue, a dish-care filter packed with food, a washer inlet filter choked with grit. The fix is a clean or a new filter of the right part number, fitted with the appliance unplugged and the water closed where there is one, then the reminder reset.

Fresh filters in dispensers and ice makers, and scale cleared from steam ovens, ice makers and dish care machines.
