What Replace filter
actually means.

Replace filter is a reminder from the Fulgor Milano filter countdown, not a report of a broken part. It appears when about 30 percent of the filter's rated capacity is left, so you have time to order a cartridge before the count reaches zero days.

What to do when Replace filter shows on the ice maker

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fulgor Milano's own guidance for Replace filter on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Order the replacement cartridge now and fit it when the countdown reaches zero days left.

02

After fitting it, open Functions, then Water Filter, and use Reset to start a new one-year countdown.

03

Turn the ice maker off and run Manual Clean from the System Cleaning menu, then throw out the first ice made on the new 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

Replace filter does not mean water has stopped reaching the ice maker. It is driven by a timer that the owner switched on, and it knows nothing about the water actually passing through.

What you may
notice with it.

The ice maker problems Replace filter tends to arrive with. Answer these at the ice maker before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

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.

In Fulgor Milano's own words

Questions
about Replace filter.

Can I clear Replace filter myself?
Order the replacement cartridge now and fit it when the countdown reaches zero days left.
My Fulgor Milano freezer column shows Replace filter. Can I wait?
For a while. Fulgor shows the message with about 30 percent of the filter's capacity left, as a nudge to order one, and asks for the change when the countdown reaches zero days.
Why have I never seen Replace filter on my Fulgor Milano column?
The reminder is off until you activate it under Functions, Water Filter. If it was never switched on, the filter may be long overdue without any message, so check its age by the install date.
What should I do with the ice maker after a filter change on a Fulgor Milano?
Fulgor recommends a Manual Clean after a new filter, with the ice maker turned off first. Empty the water from the ice bin when the display asks, then let the ice maker start fresh.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Replace filter?

Book with the code or the blink pattern written exactly as the ice maker shows it, the full model number, and whether there is any water on the floor — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
