How often you should change the water filter in your fridge depends on the type of refrigerator you have and the type of water filter it uses. However, a good rule of thumb for most refrigerators is to change it at least every six months.
Why six months?
After six months, if you use the water and ice dispenser regularly, the carbon in the filter will be saturated with the impurities it is supposed to remove. If you don’t change the filter, the filter is no longer removing these impurities, and they are flowing into the water and ice.
Will I get sick if I don’t change it?
Not changing your filter will not make you any sicker than just drinking tap water, which most municipalities deem safe. If you don’t change the filter when it needs changing then you have a filter in place that is not filtering anything.

The only thing you may notice, if you don’t change your filter on time, is your water may not taste as good. Usually, water that is flowing through a filter tastes better than tap water.
Many modern appliances will alert you with a sound or light if the water filter needs changing. These alerts are reset after you change the filter.
Always buy the right filter designed for your specific appliance’s make and model and your specific filtration system. The wrong filter may not fit and also may not filter the water properly.
Some water filters are easier to access and change than others. This is one feature you should look at when buying a new refrigerator.
