H2O light on Maytag side-by-side and French door refrigerators: filter replacement and reset.
What this code means
H2O Light
The H2O status light asks whether the water filter needs replacing; hold LIGHT and ICE TYPE for 3 seconds to reset.
The H2O light on a Maytag refrigerator is tied to the water filter. Maytag’s help articles for side-by-side and French door models start with one question: does the filter need replacing?
When to replace the filter
Maytag suggests a new filter when the status light changes to red or when water flow or ice production drops. The French door article adds every 6 months or as needed, and says a clogged or badly installed filter can cut water flow to the ice maker and dispenser.
Reset the status light
After you change the filter, press and hold the LIGHT and ICE TYPE buttons for 3 seconds. The status light goes off once the system is reset.
