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.

The water tastes horrible with my most recent water filter subscription delivery. And good luck cancelling your subscription. No one at Samsung even understands what I mean when I say that I need to cancel my refrigerator water filter subscription. Yeah I know - first world problems. But seriously the water from this water filter tastes worse than from the tap. It has a toxic chemical taste to it.

I inserted my genuine Samsung water filter. Went out to run some errands. Came home an hour later and there's water dripping out of the ceiling in my basement. The genuine Samsung water filter didn't seal. I have replaced water filters my entire life, I know how to do it properly. Worst product ever.

I went to change the water filter in my Samsung refrigerator and no matter what I did it would not totally go in. I put the old filter back in and it works fine. Both filters have the same numbers on them, HAF-QIN/EXP, I bought a three pack, I tried another one and will not work either. So frustrating.

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.

the filter that came with our fridge later about a year before the flow through the dispenser started to slow. the replacement filter lasted less than 3 months before becoming so clogged that the ice maker stopped working. if it's only going to last 3 months,i might as well try a generic.

Easy to replace and never once had a problem with any Samsung filter over 15 years and 2 Samsung refrigerators. You need to insert correctly and lock into place per instructions. Love the integration with SmartThings. Great quality drinking water. Worth the price.

I recently purchased a water filter, installed it about one month ago, and ALREADY need a new one. I am terribly disappointed. I bought the refrigerator over a year ago and the original water filter worked great…now it tastes terrible and the “change filter” light is on. Ridiculousness.

we have had our fridge for about 8 months. bought this replacement filter in dec. now in january we notice that the water coming out of the filter is leaving a white residue behind. our tap water is not doing this. only from this filter. spent 40 minutes trying to get support and just kept getting passed around to extensions. guess i have to pay for a new genuine filter and hope i get a good one. can't get support on this one from the company. its past 15 days for a return so stuck. i'll be sure to test the new one and return at any sign of residue. buyer beware.

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.
