First, locate the water filter cover in the upper right corner of the refrigerator interior.
Open the filter cover door by gently lifting it up.
As the door opens, the filter will be released and eject slightly from the housing.
Once the door is completely open, pull the filter straight out and discard it.
Remove the new filter from the packaging and take out the protective covers from the O-rings.
Be sure to check that the O-rings are still in place after the covers are removed.
Hold the filter so that the arrow on the label on the end of the filter cartridge is facing up.
Align the filter with the opening and gently push the new filter into the hole.
As you insert the filter, the cover door will begin to close.
Do not force the filter into the housing.
If it does not slide in easily, rotate the filter so that the notches are properly aligned with the grooves in the filter housing.
To secure the filter within the housing, push firmly on the filter cover door until it snaps closed.
The final step of the filter change will be to run 3 gallons of water through the line to properly flush the new filter. This helps to purge any air from the water system.
