We bought a new fridge and the water filter is expired......I guess. How does the fridge know that? Anyway, I never remember to buy a new filter, and when I do, I can't remember the info needed to get the right one. So when my fridge begins to harangue me about the filter, I lie to it. Then it stops beeping at me when I fill up my glass. How can a fridge be so smart and so gullible? Also, does anyone wear velour anymore?  You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | ||

I have my water filter on a Amazon Prime 6-month subscription. A new one shows up on my doorstep every 6-months and I don't have to trick the fridge any more.

Serenity now! |
For me, it's not so much tricking the fridge, as tricking my wife. She doesn't like living knowing that something needs replacing, so, I kindly reset the filter light whenever it turns red. It doesn't matter that we don't get water from the fridge. If a filter needs replacing, she's going to do it! Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice - pull down your pants and slide on the ice. ʘ ͜ʖ ʘ | |||

I have named mine Hal (2001 fame),all I ask it to do is make ice, and it won't, I can hear it saying, sorry Dave I can't do that. Tomorrow is going to be ice maker #4 going in. "Hold my beer.....Watch this". | |||

My kids claim the water tastes better after I press the filter reset button. I haen't bought a filter in years. Shhh...  God Bless and Protect the Once and Future President, Donald John Trump. | |||

Your frig water filter will eventually piss all over your kitchen. Ask me how I know.

Mines set to show its bad every six months, whether it is or not. To me it's a money making scam from the manufacturer since it's not sending a plugged filter but only on a time interval. The replacement filters are expensive too. My solution was to install an ice maker type filter on my water supply and I'll change that one. I'll probably never change the one inside the fridge. | |||

My understanding is that most "replace filter" lights are triggered by a certain number of door openings (how it knows that I'm not sure) vs. actual age/water usage. I guess someone somewhere ran the calculations and decided that the average user will use x number of gallons for each time they open the freezer/fridge. After so many repetitions it triggers the little reminder light. Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view. Complacency sucks… | |||

You're supposed to change the filter?!?  But seriously, it's one of those things like cleaning the dish washer filter; it just never gets done. ------------------------------ I'm a right wing, anti-illegal, pro-life, gun owning, straight, white, college educated, politically informed, conservative, Christian male.
