I have been trying to install a new water filter on my Whirlpool side by side refrigerator and it just won't go in. I follow the instructions as indicated on the filter. I push it in as far as it will go until it stops and then I try to turn it the 1/4 turn it says to do but the darn thing will not engage. No matter how many times I try. Now I can't get the old filter back in. HELP!
They say it's a snap to do. The only thing that snaps are my knuckles in trying to push the stupid thing in! YUGH!!!!!!!!:mad:

I Am Changing My Filter Today And At The Same Time "praising" The Engineer Who Designed This Set Up On My Whirlpool Side By Side Fridge.

To Seat The Filter, I Find I Have To Remove The Plastic Grill At The Bottom Of The Refrigerator. That Gives Me Enough Room To Use Channel-lock Plyers, Getting Enough Torque To Twist The Filter Into Place. I Closed My Eyes And Twisted The Old Filter Out And Closed My Eyes To Twist The Filter In. At The Same Time I Have The Filter Cap Attached To The Filter.
