How to remove filter
Cannot remove Frigidaire refrigerator water filter in order to put new one in. Instructions & filter company rep said to push old one in a bit and it will pop out. Does not happen. Tried to gently tap filter enclosure- did nothing, old filter will not budge. Any suggestions? (Got help from this site previously - hope my luck doesn’t run out. LOL)

Hey Betsy: Guess I’ve been so busy & frustrated pushing, pulling, and yes, even twisting, that I didn’t think of the store idea! If all else fails, I’ll Give that a try over the weekend. To be honest, I’m trying to avoid a service call from an appliance doctor. (Don’t try to be cheap but sometimes old equals cheap!!!)
In this video, it looks like there is a button at the top, not sure if yours might be stuck but otherwise look around You Tube

Hi Elizabeth: the one in this video looks exactly like mine. I believe the button you referred to is actually the end of the filter guide. It doesn’t do a thing but I can almost hear it saying, “I’m still stuck”! Thanks for trying and I will speed dial UTube.

Hi William, I know how hard you are trying to help me with my stuck filter situation! I viewed the side by side, location inside top right. One is very similar to mine but does not match enough to make it work for me. Although it’s not the same, I’m tempted to try and lift the filter housing but kinda afraid to force it up. Thanks again for you efforts.
Re: stuck fridge filter. Thank for all who responded with some tips I will hold onto for future need, although I hope I don’t have to use them!LOL
The answer was that I was not being aggressive enough when pushing to get the old one out. (I was afraid I’d damage something in the back)
It did take some muscle behind the push but it’s finally out and I put the new one in without any hassles. Thanks again.
