CHANGING THE WATER FILTER
To reduce risk of water damage to your
property DO NOT use generic brands of
water filters in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator.
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER FILTER.
SAMSUNG will not be legally responsible for any
damage, including, but not limited to property damage
caused by water leakage from use of a generic water
filter. SAMSUNG Refrigerators are designed to work
ONLY WITH SAMSUNG Water Filter.
The Filter light turns red to let you know when
it is time to change your water filter cartridge.
To give you time to get a new filter, the red
light comes on just before the capacity of the
current filter runs out. Changing the filter on
time provides you with the freshest, cleanest
water from your refrigerator.
1. Shut off the water supply. Then, turn the water filter
( 1 ) about 1/4 turn, counter-clockwise.
2. Pull the water filter ( 1 ) from the case filter ( 2 ).
• To change the water filter more easily, shut off
the water supply valve.
• Sometimes, it is hard to disassemble the water
filter because impurities in the water cause it to
stick. If you are having difficulties, grip the water
filter firmly and pull it hard.
• When you pull the water
filter, a little water can
leak from the opening.
This is normal. To
minimize the water
leaks, keep the filter
cartridge horizontal when you pull it.
• To prevent overflow, empty the water filter tray
( 3 ) and dry around the filter case ( 2 ).
3. Insert the new filter into the filter case ( 4 ).
4. Push the filter, and then turn it clockwise until it
locks.
• If you have trouble inserting the water filter
because of high water pressure, shut off the
water supply valve.

gallons of water, the filter indicator lights

• If water is not dispensing or
dispensing slowly, you need to
replace the water filter because the
water filter is clogged.
• Some areas have large amounts of

water filter to clog more quickly.
