Default Fridge filter question

I have a Kenmore (discovered it was made by Frigidaire when I googled Model
#). The red light came on for filter, and the water comes out slower.

When you open up the fridge door, it's on the upper right. You press a
triangular tab on the corner, and the filter apparently comes out. Two
tubes in the back with O-rings, shown in the picture. So, apparently, to
change the filter, you hit the triangular tab, the filter either pops out
or you pull it out and slide in the new one.

My question: do you have to shut off the water? I read several sites,
and they had some info, but not that.


In my handyman business, I change the filters on several different brands
and never have had to turn off the water. They all shut off the flow as
soon as the filter is removed. No guarantees, but I'd be willing to bet
that yours works the same.
