What Filter Status LED amber means

On GE and GE Profile refrigerators with the XWFE RFID water filter and a Filter Status LED (side-by-side GSS25, GSE25 and PSE25, and bottom-freezer and French-door GNE, GBE and GFE, 2018 and newer), an amber Filter Status LED means the filter is reaching its expired state. Water still dispenses. It is an early reminder so you can have a replacement ready before the LED turns red.

Common causes of Filter Status LED amber

  • Filter nearing the end of its service life
  • Remaining filter life low
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press the Filter Status pad to show the remaining filter life. 2. Order or get a replacement XWFE filter. 3. Replace it when convenient. 4. Check that the LED clears after the new filter is detected. Keep the new filter ready.

! Why to stop there
  • If the LED stays amber after a new filter, the refrigerator may not be detecting the new filter.
  • We check the filter seat and the reader.
  • This is seldom a repair; if it is, a written price comes first.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
