My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.
You did not provide a model number, so I am going to have to tell you where the water filter might be.
1.) On the lower, front bottom grill or toe plate, in the center there is a round hole. In this hole is your water filter. Grab the end of the cylinder and turn 1/4 turn counter clock wise and pull out. There will be some water in the filter. Slide the end cap off the old filter and slide it back on the new filter. Insert the new filter, push in and turn 1/4 turn clockwise.
2.) In the upper back right hand corner of your refrigerator section is where your water filter is located. There is a plastic cover plate around it, but you can still see the bottom of the filter canister. Reach in and turn the bottom of the filter 1/4 turn counter clockwise and remove. Insert the new water filter and turn 1/4 turn clockwise.
After installing a new filter, there is air in the filter. Run your water dispenser until a steady flow of water come out. You will get air & water spurting out.
If you only have a ice maker, you will have to manually cycle your ice maker until it fills.
The water filter change light is not tied into anything in your unit. It is like a egg timer. Even when the indicator light indicates to change you water filter, you only change your water filter when either the water coming out of the water dispenser is slow or you are getting small ice cubes.
either the filter isn't in correctly or when you changed it out you broke the filter holder.take out the filter and try reinstalling it,also look at the filter to see if it's damaged or try putting the old filter back in,if it leaks with both filters then i'd have to say the filter holder is broke,if it only leaks with the new filter then you could have a defective filter.try reinstalling it.good luck.
The filter has a T handle on the front of it twist it to the left a quarter turn and pull it out.save the handle on the front end of the old filter it slides off and goes back on the new one.reverse the process to install the new one.
Once installed use a large wide mouth glass to bleed the air out of the system and fill the new filter with water,but hold the glass up close to the spigot because the air pushes the water out fast and it has a tendency to splatter.
I have recently had to remove one that the end cap had broken off but I don't think you will be able to get this one out. You will need to replace the filter housing. It's not hard to do. You just need to get the part, pull the 2 screws holding it in along with the wire off to the left side, remove the water hoses and install the new housing.
make sure all your filters are clean,try to turn the brush roller by hand a few times if it turns real freely then the belt is broke.if it is reall hard to turn then you have something wrapped around the ends of the roller where the bearings are.your motor guard might be keeping it from running because it got too hot take the brush roller out and the belt let it cool down for 20 minutes then try it without the roller and belt.you should be able to take the ends of the roller off by just pulling out on them so you can remove what ever is in there
The water pipe connection to the filter is a one way fitting which means that the more one pulls to free the pipe, the more the filter connection grips it. There is a circlip on each end of the filter - push the circlip firmly in towards the filter while pulling the pipe free, it should come free easily. Needs 3 hands, two to depress the circlip and one to pull the pipe free. Preferably put a container under the filter (there can be a bit of spillage) while you're replacing it and remember to test the connections once you've fitted the new filter before pushing the fridge back into place.
If this is the base grille filter that normally comes out with a twist -- Jam a 10" long #3 phillips screwdriver down where the filter end is. Get it right into the end and tap it softly with a rubber mallet to get the phillips bit to "bite".
