To remove the water filter from your Frigidaire refrigerator, you will typically find it in one of two main areas and release it using a knob or button.
Locating and Removing Your Frigidaire Fridge Water Filter
According to information on refrigerator filters, they are commonly situated in two primary spots within the appliance: either in the grille at the base of the fridge or in the back upper-right corner of the interior. Regardless of the location, there will be a specific control, such as a knob or a button, designed to release the filter so you can remove it easily.
Here's a breakdown of the process based on these common locations:
Filter Location 1: Base Grille
If your filter is located in the grille at the bottom front of the refrigerator:
- Locate the filter: Look behind the base grille near the floor. The filter cartridge will be visible here.
- Identify the release mechanism: Find the knob or button associated with the filter cartridge.
- Release the filter: Turn the knob or push the button as directed (often indicated on the filter housing itself or in the owner's manual) to disengage the filter.
- Pull the filter out: Once released, you can pull the filter cartridge straight out to remove it.
Filter Location 2: Interior Upper-Right Corner
If your filter is inside the refrigerator compartment, typically in the back upper-right section:
- Locate the filter: Open the refrigerator door and look in the upper back corner, usually on the right side. The filter housing and cartridge will be visible.
- Identify the release mechanism: Find the knob or button on the filter housing.
- Release the filter: Turn the knob or push the button as instructed (this might involve a quarter-turn or a push-and-release action) to allow the filter to be removed.
- Pull the filter out: Once unlocked, the filter should slide or drop down slightly, allowing you to pull it straight out.
Summary of Frigidaire Filter Locations and Removal
Here is a quick reference based on the common filter placements:
Filter Location | How to Find | How to Release |
---|---|---|
Base Grille (Front bottom) | Look behind the grille at the floor level. | Turn a knob or push a button. |
Interior (Upper-right) | Open the door, look in the upper back corner. | Turn a knob or push a button. |
In both cases, the key is to find the specific knob or button designed to release the filter cartridge before attempting to pull it out.
