    I have auto ship enabled so I don’t have to worry about ordering. When my shipment came the box was not sealed and the plastic wrap was open. It was obviously returned. I then had to spend my time exchanging it. Very disappointed.

I know how irritating it can be seeing lights on the display, but this one has to be reset by pressing a button on the control panel. Press and hold the water filter rest button on your display for three seconds and the light will go off. If you need assistance, we can help you via Facebook Messenger (http://m.me/samsungsupport) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/messages/compose?recipient_id=18768513). Please reference ticket number 1143420150. We thank you for choosing Samsung for your family's kitchen. ^Brad Samsung

    I previously had a Kenmore refrigerator and it was a hassle to reach the water filter that was placed in the back. I needed a lot of manuvoring and strength to remove the filter for replacement. It is great to see that the new filters are easy to handle and easy to reach in my new refrigerator.

    These water filters are perfectly suited for our Samsung 4-door refrigerator-freezer. One provides the dispensing of filtered water for up to 6 months. We have and will continue to purchase these as needed for the life of our Samsung.

    I just searched once, and this package comes up. It's delivered after 26 hours purchasing. Quite efficient, When doing the exchange, at first I stuck with the roller turning, you have to find a certain angle that make you feel roller turns, after this, it goes very well.

    ive been using it for about 3 years now and haven't had any problems with it yet. I wish it had a longer life on it I think it lasts for about 3 months. The only thing I dread doing is flitering out 3 gallons of water before we can actually use it. other then that its great.

    The Filter in question is NOT the same as the OEM filter that comes standard in the Samsung refrigerators! The OEM version has a pilot hole of approximately 1/8" in diameter. In the "replacement" (well, not really), the same hole is less than 1/16" in diameter. The interior configuration where the filter is 'supposed' to mate correctly with the refrigerator is different. That being said, the replacement filter damaged the refrigerator housing, which had to be replaced by a Service Tech from Samsung. Had my refrigerator not still been under warranty, this "simple" filter change would have cost me over $400.00 for the part and service fee. Samsung Parts Line told me I should be buying filters directly from them, as the ones being sold at Retail outlets weren't the same. (NOTE TO BEST BUY: You MIGHT want to check your supply chain to visually check the deformities mentioned here...) I can't wait until my next filter change...

      Dear NotAmused,

      I'm sorry to hear about your experience. It's worth noting that there are occasional changes in the design of official Samsung filters, which are available at Best Buy in addition to through Samsung. However, it is important to purchase only official replacement cartridges, as you've noted.

      Thank you for your comments,

      Hello AnnTx,

      Thank you for reaching out.We will take note of your feedback as this helps us improve more especially on the quality of the products we offer.
      About the water filter in your Samsung Refrigerator.

      when it’s time to change it, which is about every 6 months. First make sure you purchase a genuine Samsung filter made specifically for your fridge model. You can find replacements on Samsung.com. When you’re ready to replace it, turn off the water line to the fridge, drain the waterline by running the dispenser, and then turn the old filter counterclockwise to pull it out. After you insert the new filter, turn it clockwise to lock it in place, and then turn your water valve back on. All that’s left is to run the water for a few minutes to flush it and reset the replace filter alert on your fridge.
