Possible Causes
Incorrectly installed water filter, Clogged water filter, Faulty filter housing sensor (on some models), Air trapped in water lines
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the water supply before removing the filter.
Check filter installation:
- Remove the existing water filter from the Insignia filter housing.
- Inspect the O-rings for damage or misalignment.
- Reinstall the filter, ensuring it is fully seated and locked into position.
- Replace the filter: If the filter is older than 6 months or water flow is slow, install a new Insignia-approved water filter.
- Bleed air from the system: Turn the water back on and run water from the dispenser for 2–3 minutes to remove air.
- Reset the filter indicator: Follow the user manual instructions (often pressing and holding the filter reset or alarm button for several seconds) to clear the E16/filter warning.
Note: If the code persists and the filter is correctly installed, the filter housing sensor or control board may be faulty and require professional diagnosis.
