What REPLACE WATER FILTER
actually means.

Owners who fit the optional softener filter get this reminder when it is exhausted. Fisher & Paykel suggests a new filter every two months, or after three weeks without use, even if the reminder has not appeared. Pressing OK starts the replace-or-remove steps; BACK postpones them.

What to do when REPLACE WATER FILTER shows on the coffee machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Fisher & Paykel's own guidance for REPLACE WATER FILTER on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press OK to begin, or BACK to do it later.

02

Take out the old filter, then follow the on-screen steps to install a new one, or choose remove if you no longer use one.

03

Let the coffee maker run water through the new filter as the display directs.

04

If the reminder returns right away with a new filter fitted, book a visit.

Cleared?

The message is gone, and the machine grinds, heats and pours a full cup again with no new part. If it comes back within the week, or the descale or filter reminder returns straight after a finished cycle, say so in the booking.

What not to do

REPLACE WATER FILTER does not affect whether the coffee maker can brew; it is a maintenance reminder. It also is not a descale reminder, though Fisher & Paykel shows both behind the same exclamation mark icon.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

The machine is doing what it was set to do, not wearing out: a rinse that runs through the spouts at switch-on and switch-off, a descale or filter reminder counting the water that has passed through, an energy-save mode that darkens the screen after a quiet spell, or a demo mode left on from the showroom that lights the keys and pours nothing. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the display asks for, or a key sequence from the manual, ends it.

Questions
about REPLACE WATER FILTER.

Can I clear REPLACE WATER FILTER myself?
Press OK to begin, or BACK to do it later.
How often should I replace the Fisher & Paykel water filter?
Every two months, or after three weeks of not using the coffee maker, whichever comes first.
Can I run a Fisher & Paykel coffee maker without the water filter?
Yes. Choose remove in the water filter setting, and descale on the schedule set by your water hardness.
Does a new Fisher & Paykel water filter need priming?
Yes. The display walks you through running water through it after it is fitted.

Back to your everyday

Still showing REPLACE WATER FILTER?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
