Jim Halpert, is that you!? I'm glad Bob Vance hired you
Malice Mage. What line of work is Bob in? Lol
hahaha this is hilarious I scrolled down here just to see if someone said anything like this.
I knew someone was thinking the same thing! Lol
OMG....lol! I thought the same thing! ;)

It took a lot of pressure to push the old filter in and for it to pop out. My wife nor I could exert enough pressure and it took my grandson to push it in hard enough for it to pop out. He's also a bit taller so he may have had the filter going in at a straighter angle than I did. If you're having problems, find a weight lifter in your family to help, lol.
Thank you, I came to the comments for this. Sheesh
@@ambermyers2724 Amber, there's a much better way to remove the filter. Place a steaming cup or other container of hot water under the filter where it is inserted. Wait about 5 or 10 minutes and the filter should come out easily.
I couldn’t get it and came online for answers. Your comment about him being tall made me think to try standing on my tip toes to get better leverage and it worked in a second just like he did it in video!
@@Relaxinghypnoasmr I'm glad the advice helped. However for us, eventually even my grandson couldn't budge it. So that's when I tried the trick of heating water and putting it under the filter for 5 or 10 minutes. I tried it and it pops right out!
Skill issue
I have the Frigidaire refrigerator with French doors and have found a very simple and easy way to remove the filter (ULTRAWF) when it is stuck. Put a cup of boiled, steaming water underneath the filter where the filter attaches. Wait 5 to 10 minutes and the filter should easily come out without applying excessive force. I've been using this procedure for several years and it has always worked.
Good tip for those of us who don't have a lot of strength anymore.
Can't get mine out... I'll try this method.
Thank you I will try this. They have always popped out easy so I don't know why this one is so stubborn.
@@chaddrader5941 I think that over time, the rubber o-rings on the prongs of the filter don't seat as well. and there's a small amount of leakage. The leakage area freezes and the filter is almost impossible to remove. I've found that it only takes 5 to 10 minutes for the steam from the cup of boiling water to free the filter. Best of luck.
Very helpful as well as the comments from people who found it hard to release the old filter. I found using the handle of a claw hammer to knock it while holding the claw gave leverage and force. I also lubed the o rings on the replacement.
Holding a hammer my the claw and using the hammer side to push in hard solved the problem of getting the old filter out. Someone gave that help tip. It worked like a charm. Success!
You made it look so easy. Took away my anxiety of changing out the filter.
Yes it is very easy to remove but it does take a lot of pressure! Thanks for the video!! Short and to the point!
Great instructions.. Simple and easy to understand. Thanks!
Thanks man. Super easy. Bought my FRIGIDAIRE resale and didn't know how to replace it. In fact, almost broke it. Thanks again.
I literally tipped the whole refrigerator back a little pushing so hard. It finally came out. I aporeciate you. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this video! The manual I downloaded from Frigidaire shows how to replace to other kinds of filters, but not this on. You saved me!
Perfect! Worked like a charm! So easy! I was worried till I saw this video. Thx so much for making it!
Thanks, video was to the point. There's another guy that talk 10 minutes, lol.
FOR SURE.
I know right lol...I clicked on that video first found this one.
I know. I saw his and got uninterested. I’m glad my sister sent me this one.
Best easiest brief explanation for a person who needs help not a disorientation.
Great video of how to replace the filter in my Frigidaire. Amazing that the instructions provided on the box of the filter doesn’t even mention pushing the filter in until you can pull it out! Now, another question is should these filters be recycled or dumped in trash? Somehow I think that they should not go in trash. Thanks!
Definitely very hard, I got on a step stool to be at a higher angle and that helped. Thought we were going to break the fridge trying to remove it. Not easy. But at least after seeing the comments we realized it wasn’t us doing it wrong, it’s just persnickety.
Thanks. I almost broke it by pulling on the filter. Had no idea how to even get it out. Smh
Appreciate it....
Great video. Much helpful and to the point. It help me and my 17yr old son to switch it easily. Thank you.
Thank you so much!!!! I just became a homeowner and my place came with this model fridge and BOTH filter red lights say replace. I was like well where is it??? Now I know! Thank you! 😌🙏🏽
thanks for this video - easy to follow and gave me confidence to push a bit harder that I was expecting for filter to release.
Thank you so much! Quick & straight to the point 👍🏽👍🏽
Literally watched this & swapped old filter with new filter took me 5 min. Took me longer to open the new filter wrapper & rubber caps that must come off. Thank you for the knowledge!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
To the point and very helpful. Got all the info needed in a snap.
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much
OMG! Thank you! We have needed to replace ours for about two years now. (gross) At times I have pulled on it and couldn't imagine why it wouldn't come out. We have that exact same refrigerator and when I watched your video I thought "Oh my gosh! Of course it's just that simple. I never would have thought of that though!" Appreciate you.
Me to I tried ripping it out. Wouldn't budge
Haven’t replacement mine in 7 years I win!
Thanks. Very simple and easy instructions.
So easy and practical. Thanks a lot man.
Super easy! Thank you so much!
Thank you , thank you! Such an easy replacement with no directions. Only easy once you know how!! Yep, Krasinski alright!!
Thanks, Carl! Love the sweater vest!
Thank you! I call myself a “mechanical dyslexic”. Your instructions were very helpful.
I did what you said, mine popped right out! Thank you!
Thanks for your help. this video was right on point.
That was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

Very good explanation, thanks!
Hi Lynn Miller! No problem. Happy to help. Thanks for watching!
As sooooo many people below have posted. I can get the filter to slide in a bit, but it doesn't pop out at all. How do you get the 'stuck in' filter out. I stood on a chair to be level and even. I have pushed fast, slow, to the left, to the right, to the top and to the bottom. Goes in a bit, and nothing more. How do you fix this???
Awesome! Thanks.
Thank you! It turns out I was looking in the completely wrong place. I was looking in the ice dispenser lol.
Hi FireSnek! Happy to help. Thanks for watching!
This is not my model so no filter
2023 - Still Using A Frigidaire!! Thank You!
Thanks. That was easy
now I know the secret .... push in first and it will release... great video, thank!
Mine won't release when I push in
thank you .. nice man
I just helped a friend change his filter. He as the one with the square ridge on the top and a little thin ridge just to the left of it. We could not get the filter to come out. We tried the boiling water and no go. My friend removed the little side plate on the housing at the back, and there is one screw holding the filter housing/guide on. He removed the guide/cover and the filter popped right out. The cover seemed to be binding up the filter, because the filter dropped a little after we removed the cover, then popped right out. We just put in the new filter and replaced the cover.
Thank you !
Quick and simple
Thank u!!
Great video
Have this frigidaire fridge...replaced filer and checked all lines leading to the fridge....bit when trying to get water....water is pouring out of the filter housing unit. Suggestions and do you have a video on how to replace filter housing unit?
Informative video-how long should one run water through the new filter b4 1st use?
Thanks very helpful
Thank you ❤
Hoping u can help :( what message appears after the "order" message for the water filter. I ask because ive always immediately replaced the filters once it says "order". But its usually every 4-5 months. It has never gone past that. I know theres a good message and an order message. Is there a "change"message?
Thanks 🙏 appreciate it
Thank you
does this filter the ice too? I hear some ice makers are not filtered.
Thank you.
Water filter replaced no problem, but the replacement light is still on? The manual says to reset it press and hold for 3 seconds? Well the light only goes on when I am pressing the lever to get water? When I press and hold the lock key the functions still appear to be locked? When I first purchased the fridge I remember pressing the lock function, all the functions light up? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks this was easy after watching your video
Hi Cornell Reese. I'm glad we could help!
Thanks for watching!
-Carl
Thank you. Now I remember. Clear and simple video. Amen!!!
Thank you 👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️
I got the old filter out, no problem. The new filter will not click/lock in place (and I have tried 2 different filters). Suggestions?
What do you do if you push on it and it doesn't pop out
Do you need to reset something to get the replacement reminder light to turn back off?
How do I remove the order filter message after I've replaced the filter? Thank you.
so filter keeps leaking is there a way to drain it or is it time for a new one
I just replaced my water filter with this filter and my fridge is the same model; however, it is not flowing at 1.9L/min like it says it is supposed to. What can I do? I let it run for 5 minutes and I never even got close to a gallon.
Thanks for Video,
I have problem, you said it may take a “little” force to push inn to remove the filter? how about full body weight & it still will not “pop” out...???... It’s literally a brand new Fridgdaire Refer & it will not “Budge”, will I harm it if I push harder?
Did you ever figure it out? I’m having the same problem! Could there be ice blocking it?
So I pushed and pulled down a little and it popped like in the video
I also have this problem. It won't pop out with any amount of force. It isn't the first time I've changed the filter, last year it popped out easily. But this time it won't come out, even with a lot of force. Anyone have suggestions?
@@AthensBlueG35 Stand higher up on a stool.
Does anyone know where the Frigidaire fridge model GSI-26 filter is? I am new at this thing
good evening ,i have a refrigerator similar to the one you are using to demonstrate ,however the circuit board is damage ,can you please advise me how to get a replacement board ,thanks very much
i pushed so hard and fast i was scared i broke it but it did come out. thanks
This was very helpful, I removed and replaced the filter with ease
That's great, Anetia Johnson! Glad that we could help. Thanks for watching!
Do you take off the two plastic caps before installing
Excelent 😎👍👍
My question is when, my indicator goes on but it is only amber in color, shouldn’t I have to wait for when it turns red? I forgot what happened last time I replaced it.
Does this fridge model need an air filter replacement?
How do u run water through the water dispenser?
