<p>A refrigerator water filter assembly (10) is provided in the ceiling (12) of a refrigerator (14) and is adapted to hinge downwardly from the ceiling (12) for changing the filter cartridge (22). The cartridge (22) is normally partially recessed within the ceiling (12) so as to minimize the use of space in the food compartment of the refrigerator. The filter assembly (10) includes a base (18) mounted in the refrigerator ceiling (12), a manifold (20) pivotally mounted on the base (18), a filter cartridge (22) attached to the manifold (20), and a cover (24) pivotally mounted on the manifold (20) so as to be movable between open and closed positions. When the cover (24) is opened, the filter cartridge (22) is angled downwardly from the ceiling (12) for easy grasping by a person for replacement of the cartridge (22).</p> |
