why do i get a filter dirty alarm when the filter is clean?

This was the beginning of the end of several service visits. Contact GE as this is an alarm that is a flaw. We had the same issue many times. Right after the filter was cleaned and dried properly the alarm continually went off. After contacting my service center, I was informed that a service call was needed. Sorry that I couldn't have a real solution oriented response.

my filter is color coded....turns red from white as it gets older....then turns black when it is fully black it is time to replace....i don't have a date code? not much help to you i guess.

That means either you need to change the filters or possibly the battery needs to be changed to a new one. Check on the battery first, as the life of the battery is much shorter than the filters.

I had this happen twice shortly after my home was constructed and everything was new and I'd moved in. The alarm turned itself off at after 30 seconds. The only thing I could think of is that something new was "outgassing" (paint, plywood glue, etc.). Just to be sure, call your alarm company or an installer of smoke alarms to see if one of your sensors units has gone bad.

I believe its a certain length of time. I marked the date on the timer when we installed it last time and it started beeping almost a year later. Also, the timer isn't attached to the filters. It's something that you and set/attach near by to remind you to change it.

I never noticed that. I just put it in the filter holder. Make sure you rinse it well first. It works just fine.

hold the timer button and the power button down until the filter reset light flashes. this will clear/reset the filter light.

I haven't experienced this problem yet...be sure to rinse the filter as instructed prior to placing it in place; and be sure you haven't installed it backwards...not much help--I know, but all I can think of.

I seem to recall that the filter might need to be cleaned. I don't handle this, my roommate does, But I do notice it it smells from time to time. Run it for a while and check it later.

Mine did this too. I bought a whole new one instead of filters. It's only a few bucks more and you dont have to mess with the filter even if its a little wasteful.

If there is a noise, it most likely is the filter mechanism itself is clogged. If you remove the box type thing under the filtering system itself, it most likely is full of yuckety yuck. When you clean this out it will probably be OK. If not it may need replacing. ciao!

With the filter removed, look down into the cup that holds the filter and find the 2 contact posts that are right above and back a little from the light display. Check for dirt or anything that might interrupt the contact with the filter. Also check the bottom of the filter itself.

I've never had this problem with mine. Did you rinse out the filter well before placing it? That's the only thing I can think of that might be the cause...

I clean mine more frequently but that is different for every system. I usually get 3-4 cleanings per filter and I know it is time to throw it away when the pressure stays high after cleaning.

This happen to me once and I hope this will solve your problem. I just change a new filter.

Next time improvise a filter in front of it, like a cloth or some screen on it so it won't get dirt, and you just need to clean the filter you had place. :)

Maybe there was some crud in the hot water line. Unscrew and flush the filter screen.
