There are a lot of tutorials out there that shows trying to disassemble the mechanism to eject a stuck filter. In my experience, this is mainly due to ice formation around the part that holds the filter, and the solution is to melt that ice.

I never leave comments but was inclined to do so with this. Hair dryer worker perfectly. I was ready to buy a new fridge. Thank you so much!

You're a life saver! I'm visiting my parents in Florida. And their filter is stuck totally. This warm water method saved the day . The old filter has been stuck for over a year.

Wow! This video appeared in my email the exact day I was planning to call a technician to come and unstick my filter. I followed your boiled water instructions. That did it! THANK YOU!😊

Thank you for this video! I've seen others with people completely taking everything apart and it seems like a hassle. I'll definitely give this a shot and pray!

Thanks for the video, I never considered the filter freezing up. I used a hair dryer, it worked great. It's nice to have water flow again.

Thanks so much. About 45 seconds with a hair dryer and it came free. I was worried it would be a big ordeal and it wasn't.

This worked for me. I don't believe it was ice. What I learned. I kept pushing on it. But it was already in. After turning off the fridge and letting two cups of hot water warm up the filter, I dried off the condensation and _pulled_ it out. When I put in the new one, I pushed it in and pulled it out to the stop.

I have the same model. I tried 10 different ways to try to pop the filter off and failed. Out of desperation, I saw another video on replacing the base of the filter. I unsnapped the side panel off with a screw driver. Then removed a phillip screw and took the cover out. Then the juggled the filter came off before putting every thing back. The problem was the mating socket was loose in he base.

1) turn off ice maker before removing (if it cycles while the filter is out water will come out of the open connection). 2) try putting downward pressure on the end while pushing in. Its more typical the the release spring/teeth are just jammed too tight. Even if it is caused by ice that could break it loose. 3) ok, try melting the ice. Just don't dissemble anything unless its leaking. 99% of the time its just a stuck (not broken) ratchet slider.

Cannot possibly freeze on a bottom freezer unit. Non Frigidaire filters, which we all buy because we don’t want to get ripped off, don’t fit correctly and sometimes get STUCK

this is what i thought as well when i first encountered this problem...but ice formation does happen (even when using Frigidaire filters) ...don't take my word for it, see this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/nH_ElKRmftd7bpo

Will the filter last any longer if you remove it when ice not need-like winter time?

i don’t know. in my case i don’t really change it when “change filter” light comes on once…i just reset 2 or 3 more times when it comes on without changing the filter…i probably change my filter on average once every 18 months.

yes that should also work, in fact that's one of the commenters here did exactly just that. the key is to apply heat, but not too hot that it would melt the plastic parts.

This happens to me as well...you just need to wait a bit more for ice build-up to thaw out...it will pop back in.
