I can’t thank you enough for this video… I had this problem on my year and a half LG refrigerator. Although I had replaced the water filter many times since owning the unit, my latest attempt to replace the filter failed. I visited the store where I purchased it thinking that it might be a bad filter. They were very helpful thinking that it might be a bad filter as well and swapped the filter for a new one. Nope, that didn’t solve the problem. Since I purchased an extended warranty for my refrigerator I called the warranty provider who although understood the problem, warned me that unless my issue was caused by a mechanical problem, I would be subject to at least a $180 service call on top of any parts that might be needed. I declined scheduling a technician visit and went to UA-cam where I found your video. My first attempt at moving the inner housing with a 3/8 flat wood bit was a bit concerning as it wouldn’t budge. I then heated the housing just slightly with a hairdryer and that did the trick. Got the housing back to its 9 and 3 position and the new filter went on perfectly. You saved me a lot of money and frustration, so glad I found your video. Great job! Thank you!.
Wow, thank you for your mentioning your solution. It could be the secret sauce that I wasn’t aware of. Put a little heat on it. Happy to hear it worked out for you.
3/9 is what I’m accustomed to seeing when the filter goes nicely into the filter head. You can attempt to try to turn the inner piece on the filter head gently. And see if it don’t go in at a different position rather than 3/9. A word of caution that some of the inner pieces on the filter had turned easier than others, it could break.

@@appliance63 Welcome.
Is 3/9 correct for all LG models? I've got a similar head on my lmxs30796s and it looks like it's at 3/9 but I can't get the filter in.
