This saved me lots of time and uncertainty. Thanks for an outstanding tutorial.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

I appreciate that. Glad the video helped

[@itsme7285]

Thank you!! I didn't know if I needed to reset the "Replace" light myself or if it did it automatically

[@scottnoddin4372]

Thank you! I came to this video because it said our air filter had to be replaced. I was surprised I had an extra one in the package it came with until I learned that it was the original and the builder never actually installed the air filter. Oops. We had a few fruit items go bad fairly quickly (not always though) so maybe this will help going forward..

[@shawnkerr5003]

Thank you for the video. Short, sweet and 100% effective. I appreciate it. 😃

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Thank you! Glad it gave you confidence to get it done 😁

This was wonderful to show how to easily change filter

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Thanks for letting me know you found my video helpful! Have a great weekend!

[@lamontedoe4048]

Thank you ! This worked very well because other videos I watched did not mention the reset

Literally looked for this video to see if the air blowout was normal. I thought we messed up. Thank you.

Need a better look at the notch but over all it helped me get the job done

[@ericbaker3269]

Btwillia Thank you, as I went to Frigidaire's site and there was nothing to demonstrate installing the air filter. And stating the that the "knock offs" are trouble was super. Again Thank you

[@donnaschwartz2617]

thx! why does it take some people 7 1/2 minutes to explain what i got from you in 60 seconds? thumbs up!!

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Haha thank you! You make more ad money and can have ad breaks after 8 mins. Prob why 😁

[@BreMue]

I was freaking out because my replacement filter got stuck, but this reminded me that I had to twist it a few times to lock into place, so I had to pull and twist more than I thought to get it loose 😪 crisis averted

Thank you bro help me and my dad alot

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Your welcome! Thanks for letting me know

[@LifeandInstructionsmadesimple]

Thank you! I needed this to establish how my air filter went in. Do you have issues with everything in the back of the fridge freezing? I have it sent at 40 but I’m still having freezing issues.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Yes, actually I do have that issue as of recently. I adjusted it to 40 as well and it seems to help, but my sour cream was frozen yesterday in the back left

[@LifeandInstructionsmadesimple]

Btwillia's Garage thanks for the reply! well, when I went to change the air filter, it turns out there wasn’t one in there. Perhaps that was contributing to my freezing issues.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

@@LifeandInstructionsmadesimple yeah as you saw mine didn't come with one either when new. It's kinda advertised as optional in one instruction wording I saw. Oh well, worth a shot and the little extra filtering

[@rk6914]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Welcome! 😁

[@FM-Patriot]

Thanks! I got this fridge brand new!!! went to change the air filter for the first time...... and there was no filter in it originally! hahahah

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Yikes, glad you caught it. Did the water/ice taste funky? I'm on a well and have a lot of minerals in my water. I can tell instantly when it's going bad

[@FM-Patriot]

@@BtwilliasGarage that's actually a funny story. I've had the refrigerator for a year-and-a-half before I finally got around to hooking the water up to it! LOL I had all the ice makers and stuff turned off until that point. I've been running the water through it for about 2 months now and it has tasted fine. I am about to put a new water filter in though. I was a little shocked when I took the cover off and there was no old filter to be replaced LOL maybe I got it when I got there fridge and just never put it in? Who knows LOL

[@BtwilliasGarage]

@@FM-Patriot haha better late than never. Sounds like your water is pretty quality though. Never hurts to filter it a little more. Good news for you is that I bet your filter will last for months and months. I go through them every 4 mo or so due to the hard minerals

[@FM-Patriot]

@@BtwilliasGarage the actual reason I was looking to change my filter was because my upper ice maker stopped making ice for some reason. I haven't looked into it any further than checking online and it's saying that one of the problems could be that I need to replace the water filter. I have not used the ice maker in the door for over a week and there is no ice being made

[@FM-Patriot]

@@BtwilliasGarage although the ice maker in the bottom drawer is doing just fine

[@capullito84]

How do you like this refrigerator? I just purchased this same one yesterday without doing my research because my previous Frigidaire had been so good to me. A true Die hard appliance! I have been seeing reviews and the majority are complaints about this refrigerator🤔

[@BtwilliasGarage]

We like it so far. We bought it because we had our LG unit crap out on us (bad linear compressor) and decided to go with a more trusted brand in the space. The only problem so far is that the ice machine will freeze up and stop working. When that happens we turn off the ice function and wait a few days and it comes back. The bottom drawer ice works in the meantime

[@capullito84]

@@BtwilliasGarage thank you for the update. I hope this fridge lasts as long as my previous Frigidaire 😀

[@BRealBStrong]

Thank you so much you made this so easy!!!!!

[@zackandmike467]

Thanks a lot for sharing !

[@Superhyperaktive]

Good deal!

[@michelefortunato5933]

On your video looks so easy just twist and turn, mine is not the easy to remove old filter. Seems to be frozen Have still been trying Hair Dryer still no Luck. Does the ice maker off need to be off for additional time?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

No maam unfortunately you are just going to have to give it a really hard turn.. Twist it super hard with a rag

[@jenniferstarbrown4525]

Thank you ☺️

[@kimmccoy9870]

My fridge looks just like this except when I take the air filter cover off there is nothing behind it! No filter nor an indentation for it to rest inside of. I guess I’ll try putting a filter in but it will just be up against the back wall. I don’t know if my fridge wasn’t assembled correctly…

[@BtwilliasGarage]

That is really strange. I would snap a picture and send it to the manufacturer or box store you bought it from to start.

[@MiriamAyala]

Good video

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Thanks!

[@faden2gaming]

Hey man love your video short and sweet. Question, when I'm pulling out the old water filter I can shake it and hear some water, some water will pour out is that normal?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Thanks! Yes that is normal. I drain as much as I can in a few seconds then just toss it. The new one will do the same after it fills

[@michelefortunato5933]

Thank you for the clear video how to change the filter. My air filter is not the same name called Even Temp how to remove the cover? Thank you

[@bronbron22e67]

I have the same issue did you ever figure it out?

[@davelevy4394]

YOU DA MAN!!!!

[@raulgarcia5773]

Thanks much for the video l appreciate it

[@cheritajohnson1224]

I tired install my filter this way but it's still leaking water. Any suggestions?

[@wannabeglam2417]

Hi..thank you for your helpful video that i wish i watched before changing my filter. I did no turn the ice off prior to changing the filter --- will this cause any issues? after a few hours i noticed it's leaking near the new filter as well ....help!

[@BtwilliasGarage]

I would try the whole process again using my method. It should only take a couple of minutes. I bet your filter is just not seated correctly. Unscrew it, check for any debris of plastic and what not, then screw it back in tightly. Be sure not to go overboard though! It's plastic and can crack the filter...or worse...the housing!

[@marykay8883]

Thank you for this video! Made the process easy - except I have tried to flush my new water filter but I still keep having a little black water come out every single time. I have probably flushed about 5 gallons of water out of it so far. Confused - what am I doing wrong?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

No problem! Sorry you are having issues. The black is likely the carbon in the filter itself. Did you buy a OEM filter like I recommend in the link? You may need to return it if it's doing that for that long I'm afraid

[@Koladjokaj]

Works for me thank you

[@BtwilliasGarage]

you're welcome 😀

[@dimitrioslessen6224]

Clear thanks

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Thank you sir

[@dianepastor8915]

I have struggled with trying to remove it for 3 hours. It will only turn slightly counter clockwise and no amount of wiggling like you did will release it. Any suggestions?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

That is very odd! Did you get it figured out yet?

[@BreMue]

I had that problem too!! You just have to pull towards you and keep turning it to get it loose!

[@eclectic3618]

Your Awesome!

[@seunghongmin106]

[@BtwilliasGarage]

No problem! Thank you

[@finest1400]

Thank you

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Welcome!

[@solangenjingti5976]

Is the filter really filtering the water? As is it a good source of drinking water?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

That is correct. We have heavy mineral content and we can taste it when it is going back after 2 or 3 months

[@ellabella4429]

This may be a stupid question but I’m a first time homeowner here and I knew about the water filter, but what on earth is the air filter? Like will it affect how the water tastes at all?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

It's all good! Congrats on the home! The air filter is just for the overall smell of the fridge. It's the same concept of putting an open baking soda in the fridge to combat smells. It just looks cleaner than an open Arm and Hammer and air flows through it. Your not missing out on much if you want to skip that. Best of luck! -BTWG

[@ellabella4429]

@@BtwilliasGarage thank you!!

[@davidtureau25]

Can't believe I can't find one video about a water dispenser that will work once you relieve the back pressure off the water line and unplug the fridge. Water will then dispense. All you want. Even if you remove the union behind the fridge. After that first dispense of water the red water filter comes on and there is pressure on the line. All these videos are really for amateurs. Can't believe no one has had this problem...yes I did everything and can't find one video on someone fixing the same issue

[@MajaMcKenerick]

How do you flush out the water when your refrigerator does not have a water dispenser?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

@@MajaMcKenerick you would throw away the first bucket of ice

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Don't forget to use up all your current ice first

[@BtwilliasGarage]

@@MajaMcKenerick or use it as cooler ice 😎

[@MajaMcKenerick]

@@BtwilliasGarage Thank you for your responses, another question is how do I get air out of the water line if I don't have a water dispenser. I have seen in the video how there could be a rush of air as the water is being dispensed and I don't know how to do this without a water dispenser.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

@@MajaMcKenerick I imagine it will work itself out naturally in the ice maker. You may notice some oddly formed ice due to it, but you shouldn't need to vacuum it out or anything. I'm not entirely sure, but give it a shot and I bet it will work perfectly after a couple of batches of ice go through

[@aalok.pramilavidyarthi6617]

The water filter is jammed and not coming out how do I remove it? Thanks in advance

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Use a dish towel on your hand and crank on it really good. Make sure you are spinning it counter clockwise. I've heard others say that and after some more raw force they were able to get it out

[@aalok.pramilavidyarthi6617]

@@BtwilliasGarage will try and update what happens... till now it’s really too hard to move.

[@rjr-yp9uj]

What notch? It seems to be out of the field of vision.

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Just the design of the end of the filter. It has a unique design versus the other.

[@iamwalkingbackwards]

But.....mine is STUCK bi time!! I am twisting and pulling with pliers. What gives??? Someone please reply-thanks!!

[@BtwilliasGarage]

You are turning it to the left, correct? It could be frozen I guess. Maybe run a bunch of water through the water cup fill in a cup and see if you can get it. It's not the first I've heard this and people always end up getting it off. Keep me posted

[@iamwalkingbackwards]

Had to tap it a couple of times, twist back and forth about 2 minutes. Finally gave way. Thanks!!

[@laynebelmonte]

Mines leaking what do I do?????

[@BtwilliasGarage]

Turn off the water line on the back of the fridge. There should be a valve. Then buy another as your filter is likely a "lemon" or is cracked.

[@baylenreid]

Can these be purchased at Home Depot or Lowe’s?

[@BtwilliasGarage]

I'm not sure, but Amazon shipping is 2 days

[@egordonliddy697]
