Air Filter Installation - Side by Side Refrigerator
Possible Solutions
What does the Air Filter do?
An air filter is 15 times more powerful than baking soda at reducing common food odors inside the refrigerator. On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes an air filter which must be installed prior to use. The air filter is located on the rear wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment. It is recommended that the air filter be replaced every 6 months.
How do you install the Air Filter?
Install the air filter behind the vented door, located on the rear wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

Do I remove the foam block?
On some models, when the air filter cover is removed, a foam block will have adhered to the cover. This foam block helps with air movement and direction and is not to be removed.
