How do you reset a Bosch refrigerator filter?

What Does The Water Filter Mean On A Bosch Refrigerator?

The water filter indicator on your Bosch refrigerator is there to remind you to change the fridge’s water filter.

Because it filters out debris and other impurities from the incoming water supply, the water filter is essential for your appliance. From there, your Bosch refrigerator’s water dispenser and ice maker will receive filtered water.

Until a new filter is installed and the indicator is reset, the water filter indicator will flash.

When you complete those two steps, the water filter indicator will go away until you are ready to start the process over again.

What Should You Do When The Water Filter Indicator Comes On?

You can reset and clear your Bosch refrigerator’s water light indicator when it appears. But first, keep in mind that the light is there to serve as a reminder that the filter is probably clogged and needs to be replaced.

Therefore, you must first replace the water filter as soon as possible before you reset the filter indicator.

The water filter for your Bosch refrigerator model will either be located inside the refrigerator compartment or somewhere near the appliance’s bottom. Bosch refrigerator models can vary in the kind of water filter they use, so yours will either be:

A push-in filter, or

A twist-top filter

Suppose you’re ever unsure about the type of water filter in your Bosch appliance or where it’s located. In that case, your best option is to refer to the user manual. The manual will undoubtedly have the information to find and identify the filter.

Once you have all the information you require, you still need to replace the old filter and remove the old one.

Here’s how you can do that:

Firstly, shut off the water supply to your refrigerator. Doing that will prevent water from spraying out when you remove the filter.

Next, locate the water filter housing and open the cover if it has one.

Then, twist the water filter counter-clockwise to unlock it. That will free the filter and allow you to pull it out gently.

After that, put the new water filter in and turn it clockwise to lock it in place.

Lastly, close the water filter housing cover if there is one.

You must complete a few additional steps after installing a new water filter before using the water dispenser or ice maker.

Firstly, turn on the water supply to the fridge. The new filter must then be cleaned and checked for leaks by being flushed with water.

The simplest way to do this is to continuously dispense water for at least three minutes. You’ll be using approximately 2. 25 gallons of water are required to flush the water filter and prepare it for use during that time.

You can reset the water filter indicator on your Bosch refrigerator once you’ve made sure there are no leaks and the water tasting good.

Here’s how you can do that:

First, press and hold the light/filter button on the control panel for 3 seconds.

When done correctly, the water filter indicator will turn off and only turn back on 6 months later to remind you about the following water filter change.
