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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Sarah,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback about your Samsung refrigerator. We are glad to hear that you love the product's design, function, and how the old water filter worked in your refrigerator. I understand you had a hard time replacing the water filter with the new model. We appreciate your patience in dealing with the situation. We are here to help.
We recommend using Samsung Genuine Filters that are designed to work with your Samsung refrigerator. Using third-party water filters may cause a leak and damage the refrigerator.
I am providing this link https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00060149/ to guide you on how to replace the water filter in your Samsung refrigerator.
You can also check this link https://www.samsung.com/us/support/troubleshooting/TSG01109722/ if the replacement filter doesn't fit in your refrigerator.
Should you need more assistance, please feel free to get back to us via the following options:
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i put the filter in and that fit fine. i went to reset the filter light - hold reset button 3 sec. nothing, it will not reset. text support said: ?unplug it (or turn off power at the circuit breaker), wait some time for the electrical charge to clear out of it (usually 1 to 5 minutes at most), and then power it up again."
that does not seem right. i have to pull the refrigerator out and unplug.? really
after chatting the rep said to hit the lock button for 3 seconds. ok i tried hitting the lock button and then hitting reset. guess what that worked. remember to hit lock again.
the owner manual should have stated this and not waste my time researching the issue and going through the chat. at least that worked.
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?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.

thry wers servicing the water line nesr our house and all our faucets were flowing brown, even after 10 minutes of flushing them out. while this filter definitely definitely saw a reduction in flow rate, the quality of the water was excellent as always.
