Maintaining your Avalon water filter may seem quite challenging. Prior to a filter change, and sometimes even after one, you might notice the red light blinking. That’s not all though. Even the self-cleaning indicator LED can stay on from time to time.
However, those are very easy to fix. You just need to reset your filter. So how do I reset my Avalon filter, you ask?
Well, just press the reset button. For more details, continue reading below.
How to Reset Avalon Water Filter
To reset your Avalon filter, first, you need to locate the reset button. So where is it? Here’s how to find the reset button on your Avalon.
Step 1: Locating the Reset Button
The reset button on Avalon water filters is somewhat difficult to find because it is not visible from the outside. It is inside the cabinet that is down below. Just open the cabinet and on the top left, you’ll see a small switch box labeled Filter Reset. Here’s a photo of it.
But the reset button is not visible yet. It’s because the switch is located on the back of the filter reset box. Look for it on the back. It should look like this.
Do you see the small switch? That’s the reset button or switch of your Avalon water filter.
Step 2: Pull the Switch
Once you’ve located the switch, just pull it to your left and hold it. You should hold it until the blinking red light on your filter stops blinking. That’s it. Ideally, it should take about five seconds to hold that switch until the warning indicator goes away. If it doesn’t, give it another go for five to ten seconds.
That’s it. You’ve now successfully reset your Avalon water filter.
When Should You Reset Your Avalon Filter?
So now you know how to reset your Avalon. But when should you reset it? Here’s a list of situations when that reset button can help you.
- After a filter change, of course. That’s why it’s named the Filter Reset button.
- When the filter change indicator is blinking for no reason.
- When the self-cleaning LED or the Ozone LED indicator (only available in newer models) is malfunctioning.
- When the heating and/or the cooling indicator is not going away (they should go away after the water’s reached the desired temperature).
Resetting it should stop your Avalon water dispenser from beeping.
