      Hi Sims6j,

      We appreciate your time in reaching out to us and we are glad that you purchased and chose our product. It warms our hearts to know that our Samsung Refrigerator and filters are part of your family now. If the water filter only lasts less than 6 months, this may happen depending on the quality of the water in your area and the amount of water you dispense, you may want to change the filter more or less frequently than the light suggests. We will notate your feedback about this matter to improve our products in the future.

      I highly recommend clicking these links for a basic troubleshooting guide for future reference:

    The filter is ok but getting it into the fridge is something else. I had to have my girlfriend’s husband come and it took a long time for him to get it in. I certainly won’t get another in six months. It’s in there for awhile.
