Depends on the brand. At least one won't reset until you replace it with AN APPROVED (their brand) filter. There is a microchip in the filter that keeps track of usage and after it hits some magic count tells the fridge that is is dead. Once it is dead the icemaker stops working.

I didn't replace mine and eventually the filter became clogged and no water would flow through it. I replaced it and the water and ice began working again.

If your refrigerator doesn’t include a reminder then check the suggested change time for the filter for your refrigerator and use your smart phone to set a reminder or go old school and put a reminder on a print calendar.

Hmmm, glad that my Kenmore Elite is not like that.

Nope.
The filter improves water quality, and a dirty one impedes flow.

I installed a new ($20, generic) water cartridge and all is well. Running like new.

Samsung OEM. $14.99 including tax and shipping on ebay.

Annual change, and my calendar will remind me with a pop-up in August.
I order a new filter when I make the replacement, so I have one on hand.

Word to the wise. Do not forget to replace the water filter. Generic ones cost about $20.00.
I get them online also, but I admit that I go a year on each one, instead of 6 months.

You really should stop and think

That water is good to drink

It's good for your skin

And keeps your body in

Shape far more than you think
