Change the fridge water filter

Find your fridge's filter, twist the old one out, push the new one in, and run water through it before you drink it.

7 steps

Tap a step to watch it again.

Look inside at the top or the back, behind the grille at the bottom front, or on the line at the back. The manual or the old filter shows which one to buy.
Turn it a quarter turn to the left and pull it straight out. Some have a button to press first.
Hold a towel under it: a little water spills.
Unwrap the new filter and take off its protective cap.
Line it up the way the old one sat, push it in and turn it a quarter turn to the right until it stops.
Run the water dispenser into a jug for as long as the filter's box says, and pour it away. It clears the air and loose carbon.
Hold the filter or reset button until the light changes. The manual says which button.
A drip round the filter that won't stop once it's pushed home, or no water at all: close the fridge's water valve and ask Handyman for an appliance repair pro.
