Error Code: EXPIRED Difficulty: Easy
Problem: The air filter is expired and must be replaced. The air filter icon on the control panel will be red and “Replace Filter” will flash.
How to Fix EXPIRED Error (Step-by-Step)
- Locate the air filter housing inside the refrigerator compartment. It is usually a small vented cover on the back or top wall.
- Open the filter housing, which may require squeezing tabs or turning a knob.
- Remove the old, expired air filter and discard it and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- Unpackage the new air filter and insert it into the housing, ensuring it is oriented correctly.
- Close the filter housing securely and confirm the error stays cleared during a full test cycle.
- On the main control panel, find the ‘Air Filter’ or ‘Replace Filter’ button. Press and hold it for three seconds to reset the indicator light from red back to blue.
- Turn the appliance off, wait about 2 minutes, then turn it back on.
