GE GTS22KGNRWW 22 cu ft Top Freezer LF Error Fix: Water Filter Replacement Indicator

Error code LF on the GE GTS22KGNRWW 22 cu ft Top Freezer means: Water Filter Replacement Indicator. The water filter has reached its replacement interval or the filter sensor has detected reduced water flow — replace the water filter with a genuine GE MWF, RPWFE, or XWF filter (varies by model); after replacing, reset the filter indicator by pressing and holding the filter reset button for 3 seconds (the specific button varies by model — check the owner's manual); using non-OEM filters sometimes fails to reset the indicator due to RFID chip incompatibility on models that require RPWFE filters
