First thing I did was order the water filter base. Received it in the mail and compared it to the original. Looked completely the same, even the gap between the holding clamps (L and R). Since my filter would not seat to a click (reason I ordered the part) I decided to remove the outer face plate from the filter. This allowed the filter to push in slightly offset of center....and allowed a click sound to seat. Presto...problem fixed. Now I have a spare part when needed. The retention system of these refrigerators are poorly designed, but I don't plan to purchase a new frig for a lousy part...I don't mind looking at the two filter tubes without the face plate.
