CHANGING THE WATER FILTER

To reduce risk of water damage to your 
property DO NOT use generic brands of 
water filers in your SAMSUNG Refrigerator. 
USE ONLY SAMSUNG BRAND WATER 
FILTERS. 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 Indicator” light lets you know when it is 
time to change your water filter cartridge.  
When the filter indicator light changes to red, it is time 
to change the filter. 
To give you some time to get a new filter, the light will 
come on up just before the capacity of the current 
filter runs out.
Changing the filter on time provides you with the 
freshest, cleanest water from your fridge.

1.   Remove the water filter from the box and 

put a month indicator sticker on the filter as 
shown.

2.   Place a sticker on the filter that dates six 

months in the future. For example, if you 
are replacing the water filter in March, put 
the “SEP” (September) sticker on the filter 
to remind you to replace in September. 
Normally filter life is about every 6 months.

3.   Next, remove the fixed cap by turning it 

counter clockwise.

4.   Remove the new filter’s protective cap and 

remove the old filter.

5.   Position and insert the new filter into the filter 

housing.

      Slowly turn the water filter clockwise 90º to 

align with the indication mark on the cover, 
locking the filter in position. Make sure 
that the indicator is lined up with the “lock” 
position. Do not over tighten.

6.    Once you have completed this process, hold the 

Ice Type button

 for 3 seconds to reset the filter 

schedule.

7.    Lastly, Dispense 1L of water through water 

dispenser and throw away. Make sure that water 
flows clearly again before drinking.   

A newly installed water filter cartridge may 
cause water to briefly spurt from the water 
dispenser. This is due to air getting into the line. 
It should pose no problem to operation.

Ordering replacement filters
