How do I remove the filter? It looks like through the back, but the screw there is tiny and I don't want to take a chance on damaging something.

Hi-I have a heater that looks exactly like this one except mine has the name, "Heat Essentials" and I bought it at K-Mart several years ago. Everything I can see from the front is exactly like mine. I had reservations about removing the small screw on the back, but decided to chance it. This is what I did. I unscrewed the screw - then pushed the lever toward the bottom of the heater and pulled up on the lever at the same time and the white back piece lifted out. I lifted the filter out, removed the lint with vacuum sweeper or you could use a brush. The filter is washable so I rinsed it under the faucet - dried it and replaced the filter and the white plastic back piece. You will need to put your finger down beside the screw to support the screw while you use your screwdriver to get the screw tightened down. I just did this on my heater and it took me 5 to 10 minutes to do and I'm 80 years old so be confident it's easy to do. Just be careful to hold onto the screw and get it in the hole and then to keep it from falling over as you start to screw it into the hole - support it with your finger and it will be easy to get it back like it was. God Bless You.

The filter is under the front panel. There is a button at the top that, when pushed, opens the front panel

Standing in front of the unit, look down. On the back of the unit on each corner you will find a triangle. Press on them and push away from the unit and the back will open. The filter is in the section you just removed.

At first it is kind of difficult. You have to pry open the filter. I used a knife. There are small tabs that hold the filter together. Once you pry them apart. it becomes much easier. Now I don't have to do that. They come apart very easily now. Hope this helps.

There are two filters on it. You can get both from Amazon. The more temporary one is a "cut to size" and you can get two replacements if you're careful on the cutting. The permanant one has a serial number on it and you can just punch that into the search and it will cough it up.

I was finding it impossible to unscrew the old filter, too. Then I tried putting the whole assembly in a bowl of hot water for a few minutes, and that did the trick! I also gently slid the edge of a thin spatula around the circle where the filter meets the housing, if that makes sense. Not sure if that did anything, but the warm bath definitely helped. I was thinking I'd have to trash it and replace the entire unit before I tried the hot water. Hope that helps.

Believe there is a notch somewhere along the rim of the filter to facilitate removal. Also mine came with double filter. But I use only one. Seems easy to remove,

you might want to unscrew the filter unit from the tap where you have more leverage to remove the filter

Counter clockwise is the correct way to remove the filter. I would stop into a camera shop and let them look at it. They may have better insight by having it in their hands.

I don't think you can. The frame doesn't seem to unscrew or come off in any way. Maybe compressed air??? I have a pop filter so cleaning is less of an issue.

My filters looked exactly like the picture. There should be a clear(ish) "snap-on" cover that easily pops off. (If you don't have them simply get them here on Amazon 3M # 501.) Then lay this new element over the grid & replace the cover. Remember these are throw away type NOT a replacement for the original main filter cartridge.

You have to carefully run finger under the metal mesh filter basket as the blades on underside are sharp. Once you have a finger in the rim of the mesh basket work your way around the edge until it pops off. Remove then rem the filter basket.

Filter housing is located inside the refrigerator top left. It may be located in different areas on different models. Just unscrew the old filter and pull out, then insert new filter and screw into place.

take back cover off ... take filter out of plastic, at top, behind the light indicator.

Remove the filler tank and locate the filter at the bottom of the rubber tube. You should be able to easily pull it off. It not, just take some scissors and clip it off as close to the filter as possible. Hope this helps you. Mine is still working fine and does what it is supposed to do.

Open the unit, take out the filter, wash carefully with dish soap and water--it may take some pretty tough scrubbing to get the particulates off. Make sure to do your best to avoid getting water inside the filter. Also make sure that it is completely dry before putting back. Hope this helps!

I cut a tiny piece of thin plastic and inserted it in front of the intake on the filter (leaving SOME room for intake, but covering at least half of the area). It works like a charm!
