how to remove water filter from amana refrigerator?

I have an Amana refrigerator and I’m having trouble removing the water filter. I’ve tried to pull it out, but it’s stuck and I’m not sure what to do. I’m hoping someone can help me out and explain the best way to remove the water filter from my Amana refrigerator. I’m worried that if I pull too hard, I might damage the filter or the refrigerator itself. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
