What Replace Water Filter
actually means.
Most GE refrigerators with a water filter track its life by time, by water used, or both. Replace Water Filter asks for a new cartridge; on some models you reset it by holding the button for about three seconds, and on touch-screen models with an RPWFE filter it resets itself when a new chip filter goes in.

What to do when Replace Water Filter shows on the ice makerKind of codeWater supply and fill
The ice maker asked for water and got too little, too slowly or none at all, or water kept arriving after the fill should have ended. A closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter and low house pressure are ruled out before the water inlet valve is replaced or the fill tube is thawed. If water is on the floor, close the supply valve before reading anything on the display.
Usually leads toIce maker water inlet valve repair
The electric valve that lets water into the ice maker, tested and replaced when it will not open, opens only partway, or keeps dripping after it should have closed.
Shows up asNo Ice Coming From the Ice Maker
The mold sits empty or holds one frozen batch that never drops, the bin stays bare for days, and the dispenser gives water as usual: an ice maker not making ice while the rest of the appliance carries on normally.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from GE's own guidance for Replace Water Filter on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Replace the filter if it has been in use for its full life, and run water to flush it.
On models with a RESET WATER FILTER pad, hold it firmly for about 3 seconds until the red light goes out or turns green.
On RPWFE models, check the filter or bypass plug shows FRONT; reverse it if BACK is showing.
If a genuine new filter is in place and the message will not clear, book a visit.

What not to do
This message does not mean the ice maker has stopped working. A clogged filter can slow ice, but the reminder itself is a timer or a chip reading, not a test of the water flow.

Door ice maker

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.
Undercounter ice maker
A built-in residential ice maker that lives under a kitchen, bar or basement counter, making clear cubes or chewable nugget ice on its own cooling system, with a water line in and a gravity drain or a small drain pump out.
