I have water damage to everything carpet has to be replaced and cabinets and since it was the weekend have to wait till Monday for insurance and hope they will cover it. I am scared to leave to house now. O yea not mention my neighbor also have water damage. This all had to do with the water filter.

Sounds like Samsung constantly avoids OWNING up to the fact that the water filter is difficult to install and leaks happen often. They have used their standard blah, blah, blah language. This is an issue and so is their faulty ice makers.
Do not sell/give my contact information

We appreciate hearing from you, and Samsung truly values your business.
This is my 2nd time replacing the filter on my fridge. Woke up the next morning to my kitchen flooring completely soaked. I've done everything I know to do to this filter and its still leaking. I've removed it and reinserted it multiple times. Trying to return the filter I just bought is impossible. My floors in my kitchen are already warping. I'm gonna end up having to re-floor around my refrigerator because if this. What a nightmare, stay away!!!

I compared tap water and filtered water using a TDS meter. Tap water measured 122 ppm and filtered water 130 ppm. Based on these results, I couldn’t see any improvement with the filter, since the mineral levels were basically the same.

It is almost impossible to get the old filter out and install a new filter. The filter does not want to turn and it feels like excessive force is required to do it. I laughed when I saw how easy it looks on the video.
