Refrigerator Filter Won’t Come Out – Berkley

If your refrigerator’s water filter is stuck, jammed, or won’t release no matter how hard you try, forcing it could cause damage or leaks. In Berkley, Tonny’s Appliance Repair removes clogged filters and fixes filter systems that won’t release the cartridge—fast and without breaking anything.

Why Your Fridge Filter Won’t Come Out

Modern filters are designed to be replaced every 6 months, but sometimes the locking mechanism, pressure, or wear can trap it in place.

 Most common causes:

  • Over-tightened filter during last installation

  • Dried or swollen O-rings

  • Filter misaligned in housing

  • Broken release tabs or clips

  • Mineral buildup or sediment around base

  • Twist-in filters jammed from old plastic deformation

  • Pressure not released before removal attempt

What You Might Notice

      • Filter won’t twist, pop, or pull out

      • Turning the filter makes a clicking or cracking sound

      • Water leaks slightly during attempts to remove

      • Filter cap or housing looks damaged or bent

      • New filter won’t install because old one is stuck

      • Fridge shows “Replace Filter” alert even after trying
