How do you change the filter? Does it require major reassembly?

you see the white plastic housing thats where the filter is. so you slide the top to the right and you can see the filter, its easy to change the filter. no major reassemble, it only took me like a 1 min to complete it.

Changing the filter was easy. No major reassembly. I am talking about the pitcher model here, not the sink contraption.

You are talking about the old filter right? If so, yeah, it seems to get stuck pretty good on there over time. If you can get a pair of pliers on the bottom part and twist counter clockwise, remember it's upside down. Once you get it started, it still is pretty difficult until you get it all the way off. Good luck. Thanks.

Just take the top off and there should be a black flap. Undo the flap and replace with new filter. Make sure u take the plastic wrapper off of it.!

Very simple. Unplug the unit first. 1) push the button near the top to access the filter. Flip open the top of the unit. 2) to remove the filter unit pull up by the handle. 3) use a soft cloth, warm water and mild soap. DO Not Submerse the filter in water or rinse directly in water. USE the cloth to remove the dirt from the filter then rinse the cloth often to remove the debris and soap. Repeat as needed! 4) VERY IMPORTANT: only touch the filter by the handle AND most of ALL the filter must be 100% dry before you install it back into the unit. Once the filter is dry Slide back into the slot gently DO Not Force it! The filter will only fit One way. 5) close the top and snap it shut. Plug in the unit and you're good to go. Hope this helps.

Unpack everything is in the box find the fastners that fits your equipment. Using screw driver tighten fastners and assembly after filter on the outake line. Using the tool in case and a drill. Drill the hole in the middle of assembly. Use the lube and plumbers tape on filter and screw it in. You are finished. It took me about 20 minutes.

on the model that I have the filter screws onto the inside of the water tank fill cap. remove the fill cap, unscrew the old filter from the cap and replace it with the new filter. Should be simple. Be sure to follow instructions for activating the filter.

There's a screw on left side you unscrew it and clean filter in there also think you can buy new ones

It is easiest to change the filter mounted vertically. However it functions perfectly either way Horizontally or vertical

after you pull the back cover off (the cover holds that black flimsy filter), there is a module that covers most of the back of the unit that is attached with plastic clips. Grab the module (it's about 12"x6"x2" in dimensions) and gently pull away from the unit. That's the filter in your hand. You need to replace that periodically with a fresh module. As for the black flimsy one, I vacuum him off and put him back in, I don't replace him. Hope that helps.

Yeah you can change the filter. The box itself fits like the factory unit also. It's a good deal

Changing bags is very easy. Just separate the cloth casing where it is attached to the plastic body and you will see the filter bag. Remove the bag and replace it with the new one.

First I thought I need a wrench removing the filter,its been 4months and when I tried to unscrew and remove the filter case I thought its tightly screwed but I just unscrewed with my hands without any aid of a wrench and successfully replaced the filter. be sure both of your hands and filter case are dry. Placing a rubber bands in the filter will help you avoid slips when unscrewing the filter case with your hands. hopes this help

My model has the filter in the upper right corner in the fridge. I was able to push in and the filter releases and comes out. Then place the new one in and do the same. Push in and it will stay in place. That is it. Most simple filter change I have ever done. Hope this helps as some models are different than others. Good Luck.

What I did was vacuum the actual blue filter thoroughly as it really didn't look very dirty even though I got a "change filter" message. Then I washed the plastic grid piece it fits into thoroughly and let it dry. I reassembled it and still got a change filter message. However, I discovered there is a tiny "reset filter" hole near the top of the inside of the unit where you place the filter. I stuck a paperclip in the hole and pushed, and now it's behaving as if it has a brand new filter! I think maybe if this is done on a regular basis that you can get a lot more use out of this unit, even though the filters are "no longer available."
