Sub-Zero Classic Series (BI) Water Filter Icon Life Monitor When Filter Is Bypassed

Topics:

  • Why does the water filter replacement icon appear when the water filter is bypassed?
  • Can the water filter life monitor be disabled if the customer does not have the ice maker connected?
  • Is the water filter icon disabled if the water bypass plug, part number 7011209, is installed?

Answer:

When the water filter bypass plug, part number 7011209, is installed (push in filters) or the water filter is removed (twist-in filters), the water filter monitor must be disabled manually.

To disable the water filter life monitor:

  • Once the bypass plug is in place (push in filters), or the filter removed (twist-in filters), press the filter reset button five times within a seven-second period to turn off the filter life monitor.
    • This is the white button to the left of the water filter on the front of the condenser cover.
  • A single beep confirms the monitor is disabled.
  • If present, the filter replacement icon disappears when the monitor is disabled.
  • If the filter replacement icon is not present, the unit only beeps to confirm that the monitor has been disabled.
  • For information on BI products that do not use a bypass plug, see Classic Series Bypass Water Filter.
  • Refer to Classic Series Water Filter Bypass Plug for instructions and part number.

To enable the water filter monitor:

  • Press the Reset button five times within 7 seconds.
  • Two beeps confirm the monitor is enabled.
