# Maytag French door filter status showing Replace (red)

Maytag French door models with a filter status light show Order in yellow when a change is near and Replace in red when it is due.

What to do when Replace (red) shows on the ice maker

### Kind of code Water 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 to Ice 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 as Ice Tastes or Smells Bad

The ice tastes bad or smells stale, musty, of plastic or of whatever else is in the freezer, even though a glass of tap water tastes fine.

## Questions about Replace (red).

### Can I clear Replace (red) myself?

Replace the filter in the right-hand side of the refrigerator ceiling. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

The filter is due. Replace blinks during dispensing until the filter is changed.

### Do I press a button to reset a Maytag filter light?

On these models, closing the filter compartment door after the change resets it.

### What does the yellow Order light mean on a Maytag?

It is almost time to change the filter.
