Unscrewed old water filter. Screwed in new filtr. Moved lense off track. unscrewed bulb. Screwed bulb. Slid lense back in.

Placed in window and pulled out sliders.

Opened the refrigerator door, pulled down the filter cover, twisted the old one out and removed it. Placed the new one in - twisted it into place, replaced the cover and closed the door. It is working great!!

Take filter out of the box and open the refrigerator. Open the housing in the frig that holds the filter and twist the light-blue piece 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise. (Put the light-blue piece in a safe place.) Take foil away from filter. With 1/4 turn in the clockwise direction, twist the filter into its position. Let five gallons run through the system to get fresh, filtered water.

unplug refrigerator, take backing off with nut driver. Pull old blade off and put new blade on. Put backing back on and plug in.

Unscrewed the old filter and screwed in the new one

Piece of cake. Took out old filer and put in new one!

Opened filter area door turned old filter to the left to unscrew. Took out old filter then replaced the new filter and turned it to the right to tighten it, closed cover and that was it all done.

So simple I couldn't believe it! Twist out the old filter then twist in the new! Easy Peasy!

Sorry for delay in writing. Part I ordered arrived two days ago and it was exactly what I needed. Knowing that there will be problems even with the smallest job I procrastinated starting. When I did start this morning I foud I had to completely remove the ice maker and disassemble it in order to install the water fill cup bracket. The challenge was reassembling the unit. Not hard for an experienced repairman but a challenge for layman. Everything is thing is back to gether now and power on cooling down the refrigerator. Won't know how successful it was until turn on water and ice is formed. If it works this saved $75 just to get a Sears repairman to come out and tell me what would be needed to fix the refrigerator and $1,000 if I had to buy a new refrigerator. Extremely satisfied with service I received. Thank you.

Thought I needed a new filter. Did not solve the problem. I returned the filter to partselect as per instructions. Will order from partselect when I need parts.

Easy...

As per instructions to replace filter

I snapped the cover plate to the filter open. Pulled the filter down and twisted counter clock wise to take filter out. I installed the new filter in by inserting the filter and tuning clock wise to secure the filter. I flushed the water for about two minutes and then allowed it to be put back into service.
