What Filter Replacement Alarm means on your Dacor column refrigeration (dacor column refrigerator filter reminder)
Your column raises this as a named alarm in the SmartThings app. It is not an error code, and the column displays no code. On column models equipped with water or ice service, this is a scheduled maintenance reminder rather than any indication that something has failed.
Symptoms
These are the symptoms that distinguish Filter Replacement Alarm on a Dacor column refrigeration from the look-alike problems that would need an entirely different column refrigeration repair.
- The app shows a Filter Replacement notification for that column.
- Water or ice service, where equipped, continues normally at the time of the alert.
- Skipping a replacement simply brings the same reminder back around on its next scheduled interval.
Common causes
Several different problems can put a Dacor column refrigeration into this state, and working through them in order of likelihood is what keeps a column refrigeration repair to what it actually needs.
- Scheduled filter life reached — the expected, routine reason.
- Filter not reset after replacement — a new filter installed without resetting the counter.
- Heavy household usage — bringing the reminder sooner than the typical interval.
Troubleshooting steps you can try
Before booking a visit for Filter Replacement Alarm, work through these on your column refrigeration — a good share of these column refrigeration calls resolve right here.
- Replace the water filter with a compatible replacement for the model.
- Reset the filter indicator per the sequence in the use and care manual.

Parts a technician may replace
Expect the water filter, filter housing, and ice maker (where equipped) to be checked on your Dacor column refrigeration. Replacing more of a column refrigeration than the problem requires is how a small column refrigeration repair becomes an expensive one, so the failed part is confirmed first.
When to call a technician
This is a routine, owner-serviceable task; a technician is only needed if the reminder will not clear after a correct replacement and reset. There is no urgency at Low severity, yet a column refrigeration that repeats Filter Replacement Alarm after these checks deserves a technician’s eyes. Independent technicians, genuine parts, and 30 days of warranty on the labor we do to your column refrigeration.
