My old filter came out but unable to turn this one clockwise? This is the correct filter and no obstruction I can see?

i am serious when i advise the following: the rubber o rings on end may need a little lubrication... wet them and really push the filter in and turn. if ya have to use some pliers and gently turn to twist. ive changed many filters and as long as filter is correct for the refrig follow what i suggest.

On the side of the filter it says in faint grey letters - this side must face front and up. Metal should face rear intake

My model has the filter in the upper right corner in the fridge. I was able to push in and the filter releases and comes out. Then place the new one in and do the same. Push in and it will stay in place. That is it. Most simple filter change I have ever done. Hope this helps as some models are different than others. Good Luck.

not sure just cross reference your filter number online like I did and then cross reference the number of this filter and it should come up as the same filter

My filters are for air purifiers, not a fan so I'm sorry I don't have an answer. Seems like the box should have a picture or instructions telling you which way the arrow should face.

Mine screws over my filter as well as in reversed position for storage. I have both 52 mm and 67 mm versions.

I haven't had that issue - I can usually twist it out with my fingers and place the new filter in in no time. Maybe the filter housing (the thing that the filter sits in) needs to be changed or is defective.

Interesting. My filter unscrews quite easily. Perhaps give it a better tug. Good luck.

If it is a square opening, it is not the correct filter, I would re check the K&N; fitting guide or use the oem filter to bounce against the K&N; spec sheets.

Yes, no reverse so have to point fans different ways. No meant tofit allegy filter but don't see why you could try.Duck tape does wonders for cheap fixes.Dr. Speck

There is only one way for the filter to fit. There is a cutout at the top that has to fit where there is a piece of plastic on the unit. Black side out, white side toward unit

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more

Look on the rubber seal. It should have some sort of indication as to which end is up. If I'm not mistaken I was unable to close the air filter compartment when the sir filter was in upside down. I hope this helps

I took out my old filter and the model number is on the filter. Just order same item. I have an SX model not sure if it is same as yours

I am not an appliance technician. Possibly the problem is with the o-ring seal. Not the filter. If you still have the old one try swapping the o-ring from the filter you removed. Other than that I have no idea.

The answer is "no." The filters I use have threads have threads on both sides. Most of them do so this shouldn't be a problem.

I don't understand the question. There is no swivel on this filter. If you caqn send a picture of what it is doing maybe we can get a better idea to anwer your question. Sorry.
