How to Reset the Water Filter Light on a Frigidaire Refrigerator
Quick answer
On most Frigidaire and Frigidaire Gallery refrigerators, press and hold Water Filter (or Reset Water Filter) for 3 seconds after fitting the new filter. Depending on the model, the status returns to Good, the light turns off, or the display changes from red to green. Some older panels use the set key instead. PurePour Connect (PWF-2) models clear the warning by themselves once they accept a genuine filter.
Frigidaire reset methods by control panel
- Water Filter button with a Good / Order / Replace status: press and hold Water Filter for 3 seconds. The status returns to Good, and on some models a tone sounds.
- Reset Water Filter button: press and hold it for 3 seconds. When the indicator turns off, the status has been reset.
- PureSource Ultra II models with a colored status: press and hold the Water Filter reset button for 3 seconds. The display changes from red to green.
- Older panels with a set key: with the water filter status showing, press and hold set for 3 seconds to return it to Good.
- PurePour Connect (PWF-2) models: there's no reset button to press. Once the fridge accepts a genuine PWF-2 filter, the Replace Water Filter warning disappears.
The label on your control panel tells you which one you have. Your use & care guide shows the exact steps for your model.
What Good, Order and Replace mean on a Frigidaire
Panels with a filter status count down to the next change: Good means the filter is fine, Order means a new one will be due soon, and Replace means change it now. Frigidaire recommends a new filter every 6 months, and sooner for large families, heavy dispenser use or water with a lot of sediment.
If the Frigidaire filter light won't reset
- Hold the button for the full 3 seconds.
- Check that the control panel isn't locked. Frigidaire says to press and hold the lock key for 3 seconds to unlock the display.
- PurePour Connect (PWF-2): if Er FA or Replace Water Filter stays on, the fridge hasn't accepted the filter. Holding Water Filter for 3 seconds only delays the alert, and only twice; the fix is a genuine PWF-2 (FPPWFU02) installed correctly.
