Why does the new refrigerator water filter resist twisting into the housing?

[Cindy]

Encountering resistance when installing your ALLSPARES AS-FF110 refrigerator water filter is a common experience. The instruction manual indicates that this can occur due to water pressure causing the connector to expand slightly. To overcome this, apply a moderate amount of force while inserting the new filter, then turn it clockwise to secure it. This ensures a tight seal and prevents leaks. Be careful not to overtighten, as this could damage the filter housing or the filter itself.
