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.

very easy to install. i had to use pliers to remove the existing water filter but it was not that bad. i was really worried from the other reviews about the water filter not fitting but i did not have any issues installing the new one. i believe the year model of my refrigerator is 2020.

I live in the Midwest. I tested our city water and it is not anything I would drink. I never let my kids drink. For years I bought bottled water. After buying a Samsung fridge with water dispenser, I tested the water after putting in the filter. That is the best water filter Ever. Water tested, amazingly clean. Not afraid to drink the water from our Samsung fridge. Don’t believe me test the water yourself.

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 have installed two genuine samsung replacement water filters in the last two weeks and have experienced water leakage both times. fortunately, i discovered the first water leak of several gallons before it could do damage. once the filter is inserted and locked into place, i hear a continuous hissing sound and then water sprays down inside of the refrigerator through the middle drawer and into the freezer and down to the pan on the bottom of the unit. when i reinstall the old filter, the hissing and water leakage does not occur. up until now, i have never experienced this problem and i have owned and maintained this refrigerator, model number rf23m8070sr/aa for over two years. i am extremely disappointed in a possible water damage problem with no apparent solution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] we bought this filter from samsung after doing some research. there are a lot of 3rd parties provide same model filter, but some of them has fitting and leaking issue, so we decide to buy the original samsung one to avoid problem. but we are wrong!!! this water filer doesn't fit our samsung fridge perfectly even it's same mode.it won't go all the way in after install the new filter. we don't have the leak problem so far, but it just does't give us the original feel. it's a bit disappointment.

i love my refrigerator. great design and function. the old design of water filter worked very well. i purchased a new one and installed it. it had a different fit and was hard to get in. the carafe would fill an inch at a time and the dispenser would stop and not work. i went to the trouble shooting samsung site and figured out it was the filter. i removed the filter and everything is working. i check the filter area for leakage but have not found anything. is the old filter coming back? i give 5 stars to my fridge and 0 stars for the new filter.

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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With off-brand filters, you are not sure if you are filtering your water or contaminating it. With Samsung, I trust that only the finest media and containers are used in all of their consumer products. The filters last up to six months and there is never a question about water quality.
