What's the difference between the regular filter and the "Cyst" filter?

The 8171414 Filter removes the following impurities from your drinking water:

• 99.30% of Lead
• 99.99% of Cysts
• 97.00% of Chlorine
• 99.50% of Turbidity
• 99.96% of Particulates

As with all built-in refrigerator water filters, the 8171414 does not remove Fluoride

The 8171414 cartridge is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42 & 53

The Refrigerator Ice & Water Filter #8171414 should be replaced every 6 months or when the "change filter" light comes on - whichever comes first.

Installing your new water filter:

1. Twist the old filter a quarter-turn counterclockwise
2. Pull the filter straight down and discard (don't worry, the water will shut off automatically)
3. Push the new filter up into the fridge until it stops
4. Twist the filter a quarter-turn clockwise
5. Reset your "change filter" light (if your fridge has one)

Resetting your "change filter" light:

• Press the light switch (the one that the refrigerator door presses every time you close the door) 5 times within 10 seconds.

OR

• If the fridge has a filter button, press and hold it for 5-10 seconds.

These filters are all interchangeable, so you can use any one in your fridge...

"I changed my water filter, but my filter light is still red... what gives?"

On most fridges the water filter light is nothing more than a fancy “egg timer” set to go off after six months. That’s because the water filter is made from activated carbon which only absorbs contaminants for about 6 months - think of it as a charcoal sponge. Once the "sponge" is full, the filter just lets water & contaminants pass right through until it eventually clogs up with tiny particles of sand, sediment, and rust.

Merely inserting your brand-spanking-new water filter will not reset the light on any fridge, so you'll need to manually reset your filter change indicator light. Not sure how to reset the light... here's how - filter light reset instructions.
