Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Your Thermador Water Filter

First, determine which water filter model is compatible with your refrigerator. The REPLFLTR55 and REPLFLTR30 are among the most common, but refer to your refrigerator's manual to ensure you choose the correct filter. The water filter in a built-in Thermador refrigerator is typically located in the lower front or upper right-hand corner inside the fridge. If you have trouble finding it, consult your manual. Next, remove the old filter. To remove the old filter, turn it counterclockwise (left) and gently pull it out. Some water may spill during this process, so having a towel handy is a good idea.

Adding The New Thermador Water Filter

Take your new Thermador water filter and remove any protective caps. Insert the filter into the housing and turn it clockwise (right) until it locks into place. After installing the new filter, dispense water for about 5 minutes to flush the system. This ensures any trapped air or contaminants within the new filter are removed. Finally, reset your refrigerator's water filter indicator light or notification. This process varies by model, so refer to your manual for specific instructions.
