What Water Filter Status
actually means.
Frigidaire's Water Filter Status indicator lights up on most models when it is time to change the filter, and Frigidaire suggests changing it about every six months. It is a reminder based on time or use, not a test of the filter.

What to do when Water Filter Status shows on the ice makerKind of codeMode, not a failure
Something the ice maker was switched into, often without anyone noticing, rather than something that broke: ice turned off from the panel or by the wire arm lifted while reaching into the bin, a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a cleaning cycle still running, a reminder that the water filter is due. No part has worn out, and the ice maker's own buttons or arm put it right.
Usually leads toNo repair
Replace the filter with the same type currently fitted.
Shows up asIce Maker Light Flashing
An ice maker light flashing where it used to glow steadily: a blinking power or ice light, a flashing clean or descale symbol, an add-water light, or a status light on the ice maker itself.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for Water Filter Status on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Replace the filter with the same type currently fitted.
Reset the filter status on the display as your use and care guide describes.
Run water through the dispenser for a few minutes to clear air, and book a visit if ice stays small with a fresh filter.
Cleared?
The ice maker is filling and dropping cubes again and no part was needed. If the same code returns during the next harvest, or water shows up on the floor again, book it as a new problem.
What not to do
Water Filter Status is not a sign that the ice maker is broken. It also does not measure water quality; it counts time or use.

Mode, not a failure on other makes
Door ice maker
The ice maker that feeds the dispenser on the outside of a door: tucked into an insulated box in the left door of a French door model, or at the top of the freezer side of a side-by-side, with a chute and an auger carrying cubes to your glass.
Freezer ice maker
The ice maker that sits inside the freezer compartment itself, a tray that twists or a mold with a heater and an ejector, dropping cubes into a bin or drawer you open by hand, with no dispenser on the door.
Countertop ice maker
A portable nugget or bullet ice maker that sits on the counter and plugs into an ordinary outlet, fed by a reservoir you fill by hand rather than a water line, with an auger or tray, a small cooling system and a drain plug.
In Frigidaire's own words

Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Most Frigidaire models with a water filter and a display.
