On JennAir freestanding and undercounter ice makers like the JIM158 series, a blinking filter light asks whether the water filter needs changing. The Replace Filter light comes on only after about nine months or 2000 gallons of water use. Homes with very hard water may need a new filter earlier. The ice maker keeps running, but ice quality and production suffer as the filter clogs.
1. Turn off the water supply to the ice maker if your filter requires it. 2. Remove the old filter and install a new one that matches your model. 3. Flush the new filter as its instructions say. 4. Reset the filter indicator as shown for your model. 5. Discard the first batches of ice.
No. It is a timer-style reminder based on about nine months or 2000 gallons of water use. A fresh filter and the reset step for your model clear it, and nothing in the ice maker needs repair.
A clogged filter restricts water flow, which can slow ice making and change clarity and taste. Replacing the filter often helps right away, and very hard water can bring the need for a new filter sooner.
Yes. If your water is very hard, a change before the light comes on keeps flow and taste better. Always use a filter made for your model.
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
