    Extremely happy with Best Buy staff. They found the item online for much less than posted price saving me a substantial amount of money due to the price match guarantee.

    The purchase of this water filter is necessary for my refrigerator, but at the cost, I cringe every time I have to buy another. I wish there was a less expensive way...

      Hi Mellebelle,

      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.

      A water filter works to remove some minerals and chemicals from the refrigerator's water. Over time, the filter can become clogged with these particles, leaving it unable to do its job. Consequently, the refrigerator's drinking water and ice may taste or smell bad because the filter was unable to remove any impurities.

      For further concerns, you may reach us via the following option.

      Hi samy! Thanks so much for letting us know what you think. Samsung does recommend only using Samsung brand filters, as we cannot guarantee compatibility with other brand filters. ^Jecca Samsung

    Works okay. Refrigerator tell you when to change it which is often. Need to turn off the house water and use a wrench to undo the filter. Understand reducing the water pressure by turning off the water but shouldn't need a wrench to get the filter out.

    These are too expensive and no matter how much you use them, the warning light will appear based on the time instead of filter quality. I am forced to buy these expensive ones because the cheap ones could potentially damage my refrigerator which was upwards of $2000. Samsung are just overcharging because they know they can get away with it.
