How to change your Samsung fridge water filter

Refrigerators are a kitchen essential and a must have item in your home. Newer fridges with advanced technology offer innovative features and functionality. These include display screens and adjustable storage space.

Fridges equipped with ice makers and water dispensers are especially handy for busy households and for those that like to entertain. They offer the convenience of ice-cold water without the need to open your fridge door. Less opening and closing of your fridge may also help to reduce energy costs in the long run.

To ensure great tasting, fresh filtered water you will need to replace your Samsung filter every six months. Replacing your fridge water filter is quick and simple. Here we show you how to easily replace your Samsung fridge water filter for your Samsung refrigerator in just 6 steps.

When should I replace my Samsung fridge water filter?

• Samsung recommends changing your fridge water filter every 6 months.
• For models with a water filter indicator, a filter indicator light operates on a timer and will turn on after 6 months as a reminder. Smart fridges may have a touchscreen panel with a reminder. For models where the indicator is always lit, it will turn red after 6 months.

Handy tip! Water filter replacement may vary depending on the quality of the water in your areas or the amount of water you use. You may want to change the filter more frequently in some instances.

Why do I need to replace my fridge water filter?

A clean filter will ensure your drinking water and ice cubes are clean and fresh. The filter works to reduce contaminants such as iron, particles, chlorine and microorganisms.

How to replace your filter

Step 1

For all external filters, turn off the water supply first. Samsung fridges with internal filters have an auto shut off valve, so you don’t need to shut the water off to replace the filter.

Step 2

Next, dispense water until it no longer comes out of the dispenser.

Step 3

Turn the filter counter-clockwise while gently pulling it out (or down) to remove it.

Step 4

Install the new Samsung water filter by pushing it in place, then turn it in a clockwise direction. Make sure the ‘lock’ icon lines up with the filter housing.

Step 5

Turn the water supply on and dispense some water. This will help flush out any carbon granules.

Step 6

Reset your filter light. To do this, you will need to find your Filter Reset button on your control panel. Just press down for 3 seconds until the light resets. The filter will operate on a timer and the reminder light will come on again in 6 months.

Some fridge models will have different instructions for resetting the filter light. Please see your user manual if unsure.
