I have not heard of any need to shut off the water. THe fridge will have an interlock that will disable use of the ice maker and water dispenser while you change the filter. In fact with the filter that is inside the fridge cabinet, typically opening the door is sufficient for disabling the use of water. SO, you do not need to shut off the water supply to change the filter and if you do, find another brand of fridge because that surely would be a very poorly designed unit.
