We have a mega Hotpoint fridge, American style with two doors, wide fridge,
narrow freezer and with an ice and filtered water dispenser.

About every 6 months a light comes on to tell us to change the filter.
Mostly I ignore it and just press the reset button and were good for
another 6 months. ;-)

As it happens though, I did treat it to a new filter about 2 months ago.

Anyhow, the €œchange filter€� light had come on again and this time it wont
reset. Ive tried removing and reinserting the filter and turning the
fridge off at the wall but it still wont reset.

I certain that the €œchange filter€� light is just time triggered, theres
nothing smart about it.

Any suggestions? Its just a mild annoyance really. Filtered water still
comes out. Im just curious as to why it wont reset this time.

I'm sure I've seen service manuals floating around for fridges.

What's the model number?

Duh. Found the manual after a bit of a rake through the kitchen drawers.
Classic case of needing to RTFM!

I blame my wife. She was the one who said it wouldnt reset. It wouldnt
reset as the light is *supposed* to be on all the time, it just changes
colour when it needs changing.

Had she not misled me in the first place I wouldnt have got excited by a
green light. ;-)

That didnt work because it didnt need resetting. ;-). See my other post.

I'm terribly sorry, but I laughed out loud at your problem.

It reminds me that I was recently summoned for a daddy-mend-it because
the kettle wouldn't work. Admittedly, there were several plugs around,
so perhaps it wasn't completely obvious that it wasn't plugged in.
