This is a new filter I have never delt with. I can't get the handle to move to shut it off. Is there a way to do it?

Possibly you have to pull up or push down on the handle as you rotate it to prevent accidental shutoff?

Yeah neither worked.

I pushed the red button to release the pressure and still can't move the lever.

From the manual....
whirlpoolwaterfiltration.com
Where the manual shows a wrench being used I'm guessing it takes a bit of beef to turn the handle. Do you have the handle which is also used to remove the filter housing?

That handle appears to be used to put the filter into bypass mode - it should be able to be turned with pressure in the system.
The manual page does show the wrench being used to move the handle - are you using the wrench to turn it?

I wound up turning the main off and releasing the pressure by the red button on top. I changed the filter that way. Still can't get the handle to move.
