How to Install a Water Filter on a KitchenAid Refrigerator
KitchenAid refrigerators equipped with a water dispenser and ice maker run the water through a filter system to improve taste and remove impurities. The company advises to replace the filter cartridge twice a year. This basic maintenance takes less than 15 minutes. Buy a replacement filter from KitchenAid, or an appliance store. No tools or special skills are needed to switch out the old filter for a new one. Does this Spark an idea?
