RELEASE WATER PRESSURE BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTER
When the filter light came on for the first time, I took the existing filter out to get the correct number. At the time it seemed faster than hunting down the manual. The filter was very difficult to take out, and put back in. We finally managed to muscle it back in. This should have been our first clue we had not done something correctly. Within a few minutes of walking away, and thinking the filter was properly re-installed, water was running onto the floor. Thank goodness we were home to pull the filter back out, which stopped the leak. What a mess! The two bins beside the filter and the flex bin in the middle drawer had to come out so we could reach to remove all the water pooled inside. OUR RESOLUTION TO STOP THE LEAK? Turn the water off and drain the line to release pressure. Filter went back in without any problems and no leaking when water was turned back on. I wish I had taken the time to READ THE MANUAL BEFORE CHANGING THE FILTER. It would have saved me a lot of time and frustration had I done it correctly to begin with.
Does not last or bought a defective pack
this product did not serve our expectations. i understand we drink water daily but the original filter that came along with the fridge when purchased alone lasted 6 months. this pack we purchased from here we completely went through a 3 pack in less than 6 months.
Hi Shawn, 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. We apologize for the inconvenience of the water filter only lasting less than 6 months. This happens 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 understand that our product is a little expensive, however, you won't regret the quality of water that will be produced. We will surely notate your feedback about this matter for better products in the future.

Works! No leaks here
I held off on buying these for a year or two because of the reviews. Haha. May have been a first timers luck, but I had no issue installing it in my 4 door, 28cu, smart hub fridge. No leaks or anything unusual rather than water sputtering out of water dispenser for a few seconds as it adjusted to the new filter. I didn't turn off my water (tough to get to without scratching my tile floors), but just gently turned the water filter into place until it caught and went in. Had to do an extra rotation at first since it didn't seem aligned, but eventually went in, no problem. Best of luck! Hopefully my luck continues... haha

Very disappointed in the replacement filter.
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.

Exact Part#, Genuine Samsung, Does NOT fit
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?

Difficult to remove and reinstall
The filter is very hard to unscrew from the refrigerator. There is no way to unscrew it with your hand. The small handle slipped out of my hand. I had to get a 12 inch pair of pliers to grip it tight enough to remove and just as bad to reinstall. The water was off and the pressure released. I believe the refrigerator has a defective receptacle for the filter. I even coated the o-rings with rubber lube.
What a Waste of Money. Avoid Samsung Appliances.
Your water filter is worthless. I have purchased these filters multiple times and require my water to be clean, especially clean due to being a heart transplant recipient. Dirty water could cause all sorts of medical problems, which is why I don’t drink from, and rarely even run water through your filters, because I don’t want to get sick, and I don’t want to throw any more money away for something that should work but does not. I have contacted Samsung about this problem in the past and they gave me a ridiculous excuse about the filters, not being made by Samsung, therefore Samsung are not responsible for them, yet they require them in their products. I know that your filters don’t work, and that I don’t have clean filtered water, because I have a meter which test the water quality, and it shows hard water coming from the refrigerator and hard water coming from my faucet, and the measurements are identical, which is exactly why I have a company deliver water to my house instead. Unfortunately, when I purchased this house, it had one appliance that was made by Samsung and it was my stove which led me to purchase other Samsung appliances so that my products would match, but that was the biggest mistake I could’ve made. I have had more problems with my Samsung products than I ever did with my products from LG and I will never purchase another Samsung product in the future, and if I’m in the position to recommend a product to someone else, it will not be made by Samsung.

Horrible water
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.
Hi there, We understand that the water's taste isn't up to your standards. We're here to help. I have shared the proper steps in replacing the water filter to get fresh and filtered water.

GET IT TOGETHER SAMSUNG!!!
I bought this fridge because it is a Samsung. There is a water pitcher in mine that is supposed to refill automatically, but it's hit and miss. Which is sooooo disappointing because that's one of the things that sold me on this particular refrigerator. I'm going to need to order a filter now and reading these reviews is not encouraging. PLEASE TELL ME SAMSUNG HAS DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF?
Hello there. We all know a working auto-fill pitcher is needed for you to get a glass of water. Let's go ahead and provide you with a guide on this. There's nothing more refreshing than a glass of nice cool water, and having a pitcher full of it and ready to go is quite handy. Please check these links for details.
