An easy way to get a refrigerator out from the wall is to use a tow strap or 1/2 to 3/4 in. rope. Throw a loop behind refer while keeping both ends in your hands. Let it settle down to the lower half of unit and pull using both hands. Comes right out. Remove lower panel. Unscrew water valve from cabinet. Remove all tube holders Lay some rags down to catch a little water drainage. Turn off water supply valve at wall. Unplug Power. Remove filter and filter holder. (one screw). remove tube from valve by removing plastic C clip. Push plastic ring towards the valve and pull out tube at same time. With the tube free, remove filter, then mount screw to remove the inside filter holder. When it is out, pull the tube doing the same process as the lower end. Pull tube out and replace with new one putting everything back in reverse order. Before placing tube holders back on, turn on water to check for leaks. After turning water back on and plugging in power, push refer back into place. While I was there, I also replaced the hose from the wall to the refer.
