Water Filter Connector Tool for LG Refrigerator

prusaprinters

LG refrigerators like the one I have containing a rotating portion deep within the connector for the water filter.  Sometimes, the rotating piece is left in a bad position after removing the old filter (such as in the example picture).  If the internal tabs are not in the 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock positions, it isn't possible to properly insert the new water filter.  I designed this small tool to make it easy to correctly position the connector.  To use it, rotate until it fully inserts into the connector (the cross piece in the tool drops between the tabs of the connector).  Once it is in position, continue to apply inward pressure and rotate until the engraved line on the tool is vertical (I had to rotate counter-clockwise).  The inward pressure is necessary to allow the connector to rotate properly.  When used properly, it shouldn't require a lot of force to turn.
