    Leaking filter

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This filter does fit properly and causes a slow leak inside the fridge. Could be a manufacturing defect or possibly due to slight differences in design between the genuine Samsung filters. Ended up ordering a new Samsung filter after using this for a few days. Recommend staying away and spending the extra few dollars on a genuine part and not this garbage.

    Decent but tough to align in my Insignia model refrigerator. It took me several tries with little room to twist it and turn it into place.

    This was a returned item, put back in box. I bought it because it was the only compatible model available. Upon coming home, I found it already had water in it and had been used. To what extent, don't know. Poorly done Best Buy. Should not have put a used water filter back on the shelf.
