When changing the water filter, is there a valve in the FRONT of the fridge to turn off the water? Or do I have to pull the fridge out and turn off the water from the rear every time I need to change the filter? null

I looked it up online, it automatically stops the water flow when you remove the filter. In fact you can run it without the filter, For those of us that have our own filter systems.

Great question, skuke! Most homes do have a whole water shut off valve that could be used instead of the one located in back of the refrigerator. We generally recommend shutting of the water supply when changing the filter to make it easier to change the filter as it releases the pressure behind the filter. However, if you are unable to shut off the water supply, it is still safe to remove the filter. ^Jecca
