Will the technician replace the water filter during refrigerator maintenance?
Yes, the technician will check the water filter during refrigerator maintenance and replace it if needed. If you provide a replacement filter, the technician will install it as part of the service. If you don’t have a replacement filter on hand and the technician has a compatible filter available, you can purchase one directly from the technician, and they will install it for you.
Regular water filter replacement is important for maintaining clean, fresh-tasting water and ice from your refrigerator. Over time, water filters can become clogged with contaminants, which not only affects water quality but can also reduce the efficiency of your refrigerator’s water and ice dispensers. Most manufacturers recommend replacing the filter every six months, but your technician can also advise you on the ideal replacement schedule based on your usage.
