How much space is required for a side-by-side refrigerator?
For Galaxy side-by-side refrigerator model 10655122701, plan for the refrigerator’s overall width, height, and depth plus the installation clearances needed for airflow and door swing. Our recommended clearances are 1/2 inch on each side and at the top, and 2 inches minimum next to a fixed wall; confirm your exact requirements in the 10655122701 owner’s manual.
Minimum clearances to plan for
- Sides and top: 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) for ventilation
- Next to a fixed wall: 2 inches (5.08 cm) minimum to allow the doors to swing open
- Back: allow extra space if you have an ice maker or dispenser water line connection
- Location: keep away from ovens, radiators, and other heat sources
- Ambient temperature: do not install where temperatures drop below 55°F (13°C)
Space planning checklist
Use these steps before you commit to an opening size:
- Measure the opening width, height, and depth in multiple spots
- Add the ventilation clearances above
- Account for door swing and handle clearance near walls or islands
- Confirm you have room for the water supply line if the unit is plumbed
Quick reference table
| What you are planning for | What to include |
|---|---|
| Fit in the opening | Refrigerator dimensions plus clearances |
| Cooling performance | 1/2 inch side and top ventilation space |
| Usability | 2 inches by a fixed wall for door swing |
| Water/ice hookup | Extra rear space for tubing and connections |
Why it matters
Proper spacing helps the refrigerator shed heat efficiently, keeps fresh food and freezer temperatures stable, and prevents doors from rubbing a wall or cabinet, which can damage hinges, cams, and door seals over time.

How to replace water filter in side-by-side refrigerator?
On the Galaxy 10655122701 side-by-side refrigerator, water filter replacement depends on the filter style (in-grille, in-compartment, or inline). After installing the new filter, flush the dispenser using the manual’s 5-seconds-on, 5-seconds-off method to clear air from the system.
Step-by-step: replace the filter (common styles)
- Find the filter location: base grille, inside the fresh food compartment, or on the back as an inline filter.
- Turn the old filter counterclockwise (or press the release button, depending on the housing) and pull it out.
- Check the filter head for a stuck O-ring or debris; wipe the sealing surface clean.
- Insert the new filter fully, then turn clockwise until it stops (or push until it clicks).
- Check for leaks around the filter area.
Flush air from the water system (manual method)
The manual for this model describes flushing the dispenser to remove air:
- Hold the dispenser lever for 5 seconds, then release for 5 seconds.
- Repeat until water begins to flow.
- After water flows, continue the 5-on, 5-off pattern for 2 additional minutes.
Quick troubleshooting after a filter change
| Issue | Most common cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Sputtering or spurting | Air in lines | Flush for the full 2 minutes (or longer if needed) |
| Slow flow | Filter not seated | Remove and reinstall until fully locked |
| Drips at filter | O-ring pinched or debris | Reinstall; clean sealing surface |
Why it matters
A correctly seated filter and a proper flush help prevent leaks, reduce sputtering at the dispenser, and keep the ice maker and dispenser filling normally.
For model-specific filter location and any housing details, follow the 10655122701 owner’s manual.

Where is the filter located on a side-by-side refrigerator?
On the Galaxy 10655122701 side-by-side refrigerator, the user-accessible water filter location depends on the configuration; common placements are inside the fresh food compartment or behind the base grille. Use the 10655122701 owner's manual to match the filter housing style and access steps for your unit.
Where to look first (most common spots)
Check these locations in order; stop when you find a filter housing or cartridge:
- Inside the refrigerator section at the upper right or upper left corner
- In a ceiling-mounted filter housing inside the fresh food compartment
- Behind the base grille (toe-kick) at the bottom front
- Less commonly, an inline filter installed in the water line (often behind the unit)
Quick base grille check (if your model uses it)
The manual includes base grille removal steps; that makes it a smart place to inspect.
- Open both doors
- Push in on the top of the grille ends, then pull up on the bottom to remove
- Look for a twist-in cartridge or a filter head with a release button
- Snap the grille back in by aligning tabs with clips
What you are looking for
| Filter type | Typical appearance | Typical location |
|---|---|---|
| Water filter cartridge | Short, replaceable cartridge in a plastic housing | Fresh food compartment or base grille |
| Inline water filter | Tube-style filter connected to water line | Behind unit or lower rear |
| UV filter dryer (sealed system) | Metal canister in refrigeration tubing | Not user-accessible |
Why it matters
Finding the correct filter location helps restore normal dispenser flow and improves ice taste and odor. The manual also notes that a clogged or incorrectly installed water filter can reduce water pressure and may require flushing after service.
If you are seeing the part name “filter dryer” in parts lists, that is the sealed-system component, not the drinking-water filter; see refrigerator uv filter dryer WPW10143759.
