I bought samsung bespoke fridge, and then I got this filter for modelDA97-08006C-A. I have the DA97-17376B replacement filter. I am pregnant and I thought this filtered lead. I can't find the performance data sheet anywhere for this. I relied on this filter to filter lead because it had the NSF label. I bought a genuine one. Where is your performance safety data sheet for this? If you can't provide that to me, then basically I was duped by shady marketing. If you need a filter to filter lead, I advise anyone to do their research as it seems this product is duping people into thinking it filters lead.

i seem to disagree with the other reviewers. i followed the instructions, but the filer was very difficult to remove, so the first time i called samsung's help line to see if it was ok to remove with a pliers. they said "yes". i removed and reinstalled with no problem. we drink a lot of water, so i knew the filer wasn't going to last 6 months; it lasted about 3-3 1/2. our house has a whole house filter on it anyway, but this filter seems to make the water taste cleaner. even the cats prefer water from the refrigerator than the tap! i usually order two filters at a time, in case they are on back order. this will be my third filter. i have no complaints!

I changed the filter and the leaked all over the kitchen floor for couple of hours before i found out. It flooded the kitcen floor. i am afrad to insert back the filter so i shut the fridge water off. now my expensive fancy fridge doesnot have water or ice

i have the 4-door flexzone fridge, rf24r7201sr, manf oct '20, came with haf-qin-exp filter (says replacement filter is da97-17376b, for use in system da97-08006c). replacement filter matched but said for use in system da97-08006c-a. oddly, the orange store sells this same filter but has haf-qins-exp on the package (but filter itself says haf-qin-exp). samsung support couldn't explain the differences so -1 star. i turned off the main water supply and let out some water from the fridge to relieve the pressure, removed the old filter, following suggestions here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/tsg01109722/ installed new filter turning a few times before it seated but seemed to fit ok. ran about 5 gals through after, everything seems good, no leaks or issues.

Bought a 3 pack and installed it 1 week ago. I`ve read lots of the reviews here and was curious why the ratings were not higher. The main issue most reviews had were about hissing noise and leaking. One reviewer though gave me hope as to how to properly install the filter without any issues. I purchased and installed and WHAMMO, LEAKS!!!! However just to be clear , i was in a rush , forgot what the one reviewer said and did a lazy ,rushed job. Heres the take away. Turn off the water to the refrigerator before installing the new filter. If you install the filter without doing so, then most likely your guaranteed to flood the kitchen in 15-30 minutes . The filter will not make a secure seal if you try installing with the water pressure still up. If you first shut off water and the then release any execess water from the fridge, it should be smooth sailing . Great product but alot of unfair reveiws. Maybe a better user guide would have helped . God bless and i hope this helps others.

These suck. Just like all the other reviews, my original lasted for 6ish months and then I switched to this rendition and now I’m changing ever 3 months. It’s nice to see that everyone that gives this kind of review is told by Samsung that they are the problem. I think of this many people have the same problem it’s more likely a Samsung problem. But please gaslight me Samsung. I LOVE that.

ive changed the filter and water leaked everywhere. i had to keep removing it and installing it for it to work. i finally got it to fit but now my fridge hasn’t updated that the filter is replaced. it is still asking me to replace so now im unsure if its installed propery.

This review is strictly for the packaging you put this filter in. I am typing this with fully bandaged hands as you made the plastic impossible to come apart and now I have lost several layers of skin on my hands. I now require assistance doing simple household tasks like using a fork or using the restroom. I hope whoever decided this packaging was right for this filter has a horrible summer and stubs their toe every time they walk to the restroom in the middle of the night.

i purchased the exact genuine samsung water filter, haf-qin/exp, for my 3-month old refrigerator. new filter does not fit. with calipers, i measured the dimensions of the plastic catch (showing mechanical conflict) and catch is thicker on the new filter (batch code a8441) than the original filter (batch code b0431). very disappointing quality issue for an expensive new refrigerator. from other comments, i see this is a known issue to samsung. the link i see on some comments, which is supposed to help you install new filter does not work either. why hasn't this issue been resolved by recalling defective filters?

I had always loved Samsung products so we have purchased several through the years but the standards recently have fallen short over the past few years. The dryer heating element went out in the first year we purchased our Samsung washer and dryer and the design they used on our new Samsung Refrigerator leaves alot to be desired, the ice maker especially!! Our old refrigerator (Amana)lasted us over 25 years and the icemaker made it to 20 years. We had had success in other Samsung products so we opted for the Samsung Refrigerator we have had it less than 3 yrs and have had trouble with the ice maker within the first year ice always building up and preventing ice from being made, very poor design. And then today the water on the door tried to flood my kitchen after I had just filled a cup, the water just kept on flowing freely even with the door opened. Apparently the switch on the inside of the door is faulty!!! SAMSUNG WHERE HAVE YOUR STANDARDS GONE?!!! VERY DISAPPOINTED!! I think we will be switching our appliances out to another company until or if Samsung can ever fix their newly designed defective practices.
