Hotpoint fridge water filter issue

[Tim+]

We have a mega Hotpoint fridge, American style with two doors, wide fridge,
narrow freezer and with an ice and filtered water dispenser.

About every 6 months a light comes on to tell us to change the filter.
Mostly I ignore it and just press the reset button and we’re good for
another 6 months. ;-)

As it happens though, I did treat it to a new filter about 2 months ago.

Anyhow, the “change filter” light had come on again and this time it won’t
reset. I’ve tried removing and reinserting the filter and turning the
fridge off at the wall but it still won’t reset.

I certain that the “change filter” light is just time triggered, there’s
nothing smart about it.

Any suggestions? It’s just a mild annoyance really. Filtered water still
comes out. I’m just curious as to why it won’t reset this time.

No problem. It was getting a bit quiet :-)

You just hold the reset down for 8 seconds (according to Hotpoint)
