Hi, This is really interesting. I have a Whirlpool side by side circa 2003 from Sears and the filter is located at the top of the frig door. To change the filter just pull the old filter out and put in the new one. Now, previously I owned a side by side circa 1993 and there was no onboard filter. I installed an external filter with a cutoff just before the little filter. Same thing, turn off the water, remove the old filter and install the new one. Frankly I may well install an external filter on my current frig as the external filter is at least half the cost of the wonderful Sears filter. (LOLLOLLOL) We have an electrostatic filtering system on the house water supply so the frig filter seems to last a long time. Cy

I have not had to drain water from the filter system. I simply open the fridge, twist the filter loose, and just make sure things look good in there, and finally install the new filter. I wonder if these instructions are for a particular fridge.
