If your refrigerator has an indicator that tells you when to change the filter, it needs to be reset when you replace the filter. Each manufacturer has different instructions for resetting the indicator.
- Amana - press and hold the dispenser lock and auto light buttons on the dispenser (at the same time) for 4 seconds until the filter status indicator begins to flash, then release the buttons. On some Amana fridges you need to press the dispenser lock and water buttons for 4 seconds until the filter status indicator begins to flash, then release the buttons.
- Frigidaire - press and hold the reset button on the dispenser until the green light flashes (up to 15 seconds).
- GE and Hotpoint - press and hold the reset water filter button on the dispenser for 3 seconds.
- Maytag and Jenn-Air - press and hold the lock and light buttons (lock and water on newer fridges) on the dispenser for about 4 seconds, until the indicator light blinks.
- Whirlpool and KitchenAid - press the light switch 5 times within 10 seconds. If the fridge has a filter button, press and hold it for 5-10 seconds.
- Samsung - press the ice type and child lock buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
- Note: Hold the buttons for only 3 seconds. If you press these 2 buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, the reset function ceases. Release the buttons and repeat the same step one more time. The water filter indicator light should turn green.
- LG - press and hold the reset button for 3 seconds.

| Here are the differences between the 4396508 and the 4396510 water filters.
The 4396508 water filter has been tested and certified to remove the following from your water:
Chlorine - 99%
Lead - pH 6.5 - 99.35%
Lead - pH 8.5 - 99.31%
Mercury - pH 6.5 - 96.22%
Mercury - pH 8.5 - 91.57%
Benzene - 96.4%
p-Dichlorobenzene - 99.77%
Toxaphene - 92.86%
Cysts, 2,4-D, Atrazine, Asbestos, and Turbidity - not tested / certifed.
The 4396510 water filter has been tested and certified to remove the following from your water:
Chlorine - 97.6%
Lead - pH 6.5 - 99.35%
Lead - pH 8.5 - 99.31%
Mercury - pH 6.5 - 96.7%
Mercury - pH 8.5 - 91.2%
Benzene - 96.3%
p-Dichlorobenzene - 99.7%
Toxaphene - 92.96%
-And-
Cysts 99.99%
2,4-D 93.06%
Atrazine 85.06%
Asbestos 99.93%
Turbidity - 99.3%
Some refrigerator models which came with the 4396508 filter have the filter indicator light set to come on after 500 gallons of usage. It is recommended that the 4396510 filter be changed every 400 Gallons to provide the best protection against cysts and the other additional contaminants so your model may require you follow the instructions on the sheet to set your capacity to 400 gallons if you want your indicator light to come on at 400 gallons instead of 500 gallons. Again, this is not required to use the better filter, but is recommended to ensure you are using your filter as it was certified (up to 400 Gallons.)
The extra cost on the 4396510 is based on the extra filtering capability as it is rated to remove cysts and other items from your water that the 4396508 is not certified to remove. If you are not concerned with removing
Cysts 99.99%
2,4-D 93.06%
Atrazine 85.06%
Asbestos 99.93%
Turbidity - 99.3%
from your water, then we recommend you purchase the cheapest filter available for your model which is the 4396508. |
