Filter locations vary amongst manufacturers. Obtain the brand and serial number of your refrigerator, and enter them on a search engine on the web for owner's manual.
Google your make and model for maintenance documents. There should be a guide of where it is, how to change it, and what filter to purchase.
Great! Look up on line on the manufacturers website. When located, take the old one with you to the store or order on line. Replace. Simple! Check as some have dual filters, one for water dispenser and one for ice maker.

This is a catch all of how to on filters. If you go to the maker's website there should be a place to check info on your model. You may be able to get an owner's manual or determine how old you fridge is. Sooner or later you may be replacing it and that info will come in handy.
Lynnette,
Then manufactures information is usually just inside one of the doors, not on the back. There you'll find the model and serial number. Remember that there are only a few companies that make multiple brands of appliances.
