A:AnswerI measured mine and I get approximately 46 inches from edge of refrigerator and to edge of opposite refrigerator door handle. With respect to the depth question, mine is installed so that the hinge line of the refrigerator doors is approximately 29 inches out from the wall. Given the fact the refrigerator doors cannot be opened to a full 180 degrees so it might be possible. Neither of these factors were that important when I made the selection. LG's dimension sheet is pretty good so I would go there for the most accurate information - I used that sheet and found it to be most satisfactory.
A:AnswerI would change the filter. We haven't experienced this problem. Amazon sells water filters for a fraction of what you can buy them at stores locally.
A:AnswerTry entering the model number in Google with "water filter" Amazon carries many at a fraction of the cost of the original. Model number is LMWC23626S
