I have a 2 year old LG side by side model LSXS26396S. I change the water filter when the light indicates it's time, roughly every 3-4 months.
Well, this time, the filter will not secure in place. It's normally a very simple process -- push in and turn clockwise. Seems like when I try to push in, it's won't go far enough to engage to stay in place.
I have been using no-name brand replacements from Amazon without issue. So I ordered a proper LG one just in case and had the same problem. I have searched Google without success so this makes me think I am missing something stupid.
By visual inspection, the old/new filters look identical side by side so it's not obvious why they don't fit. There does not seem to be anything left behind/blocking the connection from removing the old filter.
Any chance someone here has encountered and solved this problem? Feeling kinda dumb here.
