i do not need to with mine,and it is a Kenmore. just twist and pull. i am guessing there is a valve that is turned when i have to twist the filter to disengage it. My ice and water keep working with no filter installed as well. When replacing one, it is good to run water through the system, this helps to clean out any manufacturing debris, and purge air from the system. Michael
