Error code WATER FILTER
Appliance Refrigerator
Quick answer

Blue FILTER button: change the cartridge, then press the button to reset.

Model compatibility: Viking reuses codes across series and model years, so WATER FILTER may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.

Plain language

What this code means

The FILTER button lights blue when the water filter needs changing.

The FILTER button glowing blue is a replacement prompt on a Viking 7 Series integrated refrigerator, not a malfunction. The icon stays hidden until a change is due, so an unlit button needs no action.

Source of the reminder

In Viking’s list of alarm display codes, a blue FILTER button signals that the filter should be changed.

Filter location

You will find it at the lower right behind the bottom freezer drawer. It serves the water dispenser built into the left wall of the fresh food section.

Replacement steps

  1. Press the old filter in and give it a quarter turn counterclockwise.
  2. Draw it out.
  3. Press in the new filter, turn it a quarter turn clockwise and release.
  4. Press FILTER to reset the indicator.

The part is RWFDISP; Viking points owners to its product information page to order.

Reset wording

The operation section says to press the button after changing the filter, while the alarm table says the light goes out once the change is done. Press it. A light that is already off means you are finished.

Neighbouring messages

  • BLUEZONE concerns the bulb reminder.
  • CL concerns the condenser coil cleaning prompt.
