- In this simple do-it-yourself video, I show you how to change the water filter in a Samsung Refrigerator and reset water filter light. This is fairly basic and should be performed every 2-3 months or when you notice your water filter light come on.
Replacement filters for Samsung Available on Amazon Here- amzn.to/3rLFnsP
I found these replacement water filters for about $10 each and you can get a three pack for $30. Each filter roughly lasts for about 300 gallons before needing replacement.
If your water filter is stuck and hard to remove, you can use some small pliers to make the job easier. You want to rotate the water filter 45 degrees counter clockwise and it should be able to be pulled straight out.
Before installing the new water filter in your Samsung refrigerator, ensure the gaskets on the new filter are not damaged and seated properly.
To install, reverse the steps. I always find it beneficial to run about a gallon of water through the new filter before drinking from it. This will ensure all the carbon dust within the filter is removed.
Well, I hope you found this video helpful on how to change the water filter in a Samsung refrigerator and reset water filter light. Please stay tuned for future videos on easy to follow how to videos!

Just used the plier and it worked perfectly!!! Thank you a lot!!!!

Glad I could help! Have a great week!
Helped me out with my new fridge.
Appreciate it
Awesome! Happy it helped. Enjoy your new fridge 😀
I watched other videos, and they all seem to be so easy to pull out the filter, but I could not pull out mine and I did not want to force afraid of damaging the fridge. Then I saw your video and felt assured to use a plier and it worked!!! Thank you so much!
Glad you were able to get it removed with the pliers! If your water valve is easily accessible, you can turn it off and it should be a lot easier to remove by hand
Thank you. Very helpful😊

Do you have to turn off the water supply to the refrigerator first? you didn’t mention that and my manual for an
RF27T5201 said that must be done first.
It may make it easier to remove the filter if the water is turned off. I usually don't do it as I do not want to pull my refrigerator out each time I want to replace the filter. I guess you could also turn off the water at the street level but again, that just seems like a lot of extra work each time you replace the filter.
Thanks🙂
You're welcome! :-)
Other videos show the filter coming out (and back in) easily - this is more realistic. Also, I wasted 15-20 minutes trying to re-install a new filter against the water pressure. TURN OFF THE MAIN WATER VALVE AND RUN THE DOOR WATER DISPENSER UNTIL EMPTY.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing. I am sure that would reduce the pressure a lot.
I am having the same issue and just took the instruction manual out. It says we need to turn off the water valve.
It IS a pain to get out!
$3 each would be $9 for a 3pk
Hi I read on my package that I'm supposed to turn off or unplug the refrigerator first before putting in the filter on my Samsung one is that necessary? Thanks also I have to set it on a temperature what should it be on ? Thanks 😁
I usually do not turn my water off. You will get a little spilling out that way though and it makes it a bit harder to remove. But if you wish to avoid those things, turn your water off. I usually keep my filter water at 40F :-)
Any helpful suggestions if the replacement filter will not go in? Nor will the filter that is being replaced go back in.
Have you looked inside to see if there is any obstruction preventing it from going in? Try rotating the filter clockwise or counter clockwise and see if you have better success. Because the filter is locked in place, it needs to be inserted the right way.
Take the cap off!!
Does the replacement filter you recommend filter out cysts, asbestos, lead, mercury, benzene, atrazine, lindane, carbofuran, and O-dichlorobenzene?
I don't think so.
After I did this I got a ton of leakage coming out. There's water all over my bin. I followed the instructions and made sure all the o-rings were there and everything. Any suggestions?
Are you sure you pushed the filter in all the way before you rotated it? Did you feel it lock into place?
@@JMGENTERPRISES yeah, I did. Seems to be a bit better now. Thanks
Excellent video. Did you have to turn off the water to the fridge before removing the filter?
I usually do not have to turn off the water. But if you find it hard to remove the filter otherwise, turning off the water should make it easier.
@@JMGENTERPRISES Thank you. That makes sense.
@@gutnick let me know how it goes when you do! Have a great weekend! 👍
thanks
You bet!
Thank you so so much. I could not figure out where the filter was and also for the Amazon suggestion. Three filters cost me less than what one would have cost at the box store!
I bought these

Are there any refrigerator water filters that filter out nano-plastics?
I will have to look into this!!!
IAm about due for a replacement for my water filter for my new LG
Will these water filters mess up the fridge ?
I would double check the filters I link too are compatible with LG fridges. Most likely not I would assume.
Will this fix the no ice making problem?
I am not sure. Are you sure your ice tray is fully inserted into your fridge? I had an issue with my fridge not making ice before. It turns out, there was ice that had fallen behind the tray that prevented the tray from being inserted fully. This prevented the machine from making ice. I would recommend pulling out your ice tray ALL the way out and verify there is no ice in the back.
I replaced the new filter and now water won’t dispense from the fridge door - any suggestions?
Did you make sure to push in and twist the filter when installing? Did you hear anything after installing it? I usually hear a little air escaping from the filter as it fills with water.
Do you need to turn off the water to the frig first ?
I usually don't. But if you find the filter is hard to rotate and remove, try turning off the water. That should help.
Do you have to turn off main water valve?
It does help to relieve pressure and make it easier to remove.
Genius
Glad you think so
Geez all these people with the nitpicking…. Excellent vid, thanks for taking time to show other incompetent people who don’t know how to read a manual how to change the filter“Don’t waste the water, water the plants.” “Your fridge needs cleaning.” Very rude people.
I know, some internet peeps can be a little on the nasty side. Haha. I don't take it personally though. They are just feeling tough behind their little keyboards.
OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU! MINES WAS STUCK AND WOULDN'T MOVE. PILERS!!! I ICE PURE BRAND
Glad I could help!
We have the same fridge and I'm using the same filter but mine doesn't want to turn or click into place. Any ideas?
Edit: had to use pliers to get it to rotate. I always thought I was buying the wrong filter
Try turning off your water. It may release some pressure and make it easier to remove and install
@JMGENTERPRISES I was able to get it in but now water doesn't want to come out. Should I still turn the water off to the fridge, release the left over water, install the filter and then run the water again?
Do I need to turn off the water valve off first before replacing? Or is it not necessary?
It usually makes it easier to remove the filter if you turn the water off.
@@JMGENTERPRISES I see if I cannot move the fridge, and replace the filter without turning the water valve off, will it damage the fridge in any way?
@@ektasinha9159 no it will not. I've replaced my filter a lot without turning the water off
@@JMGENTERPRISES thank you
So I shouldn't have to turn off my main water line to the house to do this?
I usually don't. Sometimes turning it off can make removing it easier though
Do you have to turn off the water for this?
You don't have to but it sometimes makes removing the filter easier
I changed mine and after I put it back. It started to leak maybe a bad filter but I’ll try turning the water next time and see if it makes a difference
TKS
On Samsung manual for my fridge it’s saying to shut off water valve. No clue where that is. And filters should last 6 months.
Water valve is usually located inside somewhere. If you have a two story house, it is probably downstairs. Filter life really depends on how much it is used. We use our filter a BUNCH!
Question. How do I flush tge fikter out if I only have an icemaker on the Samsung ?
That is a good question. Maybe another video has the answer?
Maybe try making a while lot of ice then dumping it, make more, dump it......maybe?!?! But if you have a stainless steel sink I wouldn't dump it in the sink but instead the bath tub or a bucket, if you melt a lot of ice in ss sink it can cause condensation to fork under the sink and get everything under there wet and make you think that you have a leak in your sinks water line or drain pipe. I hope this helps. But if may be stupid advice. Good luck!
....WHOLE lot of ice....
....to FORM under the sink....
...but IT may be....
My Samsung fridge shoots water out of the filter hole when I try to replace it. Never happened the first few times I changed it and now it does it all the time. It's a mess.
Usually a little water comes out when you remove the water filter. Are you sure you are reinstalling it all the way down till it locks? Also, are ensuring the O ring on the new filter is seated properly?
Per Samsung filter to be changed every 6 months and dispense 3 gallons or 5 liters after replacing filter.
Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
I have a new filter, have put them on in the past, can’t get of red light. Your Samsung fridge is different and the instructions to clear the red doesn’t work. :s
I need the water badly and idk if my fridge is busted or not
What model do you have? Have you tried looking up the instruction manual for your fridge? I am sure it will say how to turn off the red filter light.
It really grinds my gears when I watch a video and they say, "all are basically the same", well changing the filter was the same but not in resetting the {Filter light}..... I just just changed my filter for first time in my 6 month old Samsung fridge with French Doors...... I had to shut the {Alarm} off first, THEN push and hold the {Icemaker} button, even my manual didn't say that, I had to find another video that showed how.......
Sorry to hear the process was not the same. Strange the owners manual didn't say it either. Glad you were able to get it figured out 😄
Empty 3 gallons for clean filtered water 🎉
Hahaha. I know. It seems like a lot!
The manual also directs you to shut off the water supply.
Good point!
On my Samsung, to reset the filter light: press and hold the lock button to unlock, press and hold the icemaker button for 3 seconds to reset the filter light.
Thanks for sharing. What model do you have?
I bought the filter on Amazon the filter doesn’t works I run 3 gallons of water still have dust came out .
Sounds like possibly a faulty filter. Did you order a multi pack? Maybe try a different filter and see if the same thing happens.
When I push in the filter, I hear air and the filter won’t go in, what do I do?
Are you turning it fulling clockwise until it locks?
Don't you need to shut off the water valve behind the fridge in the wall?
You can. That usually makes it easier to remove the filter.
I turned mine another 90° instead of yanking it and it popped out very easily on its own
Nice! I sometimes have to turn off my water to release the pressure otherwise I cannot remove it
Exactly! He should have rotated it 180°.
Don't you need to turn the water supply off first?
You can. It does sometimes make it easier to remove the filter
Does it really have to be a Samsung filter like the Manual says or are they just trying to get my money by scaring me to think it will break my refrigerator?
Doesn't have to be no. Save money and buy another brand.
Why does my refrigerator SAMSUNG cherp?..?
Hmmmm. Cherp you say? I do not know. There is no birdie in their is there?
@@JMGENTERPRISES sorry this auto text says things I don't want it to say...
I'm wondering if it is saying change the water filter...it's a smart Samsung with a screen....haven't figured out how to use it just yet....
Its not this simple for me ...pressure is pushing it back out as I turn .....and water is coming out from the back ...whats my problem please ?
Try turning off your water valve. Typically they are behind your fridge or under your sink or somewhere in your house. It should make it easier to remove and eliminate any water from coming out.
$30 for a 3 pack comes to $10/each….not $3/each……your audience DOES pay attention !!!😂
😆 good catch!
I try to put my filter in but when I try to lock it, it just pushes it out
You really have to push in and rotate till it locks
I’m getting the same thing! I’m pushing it in, but it keeps popping it out ugh
@@JMGENTERPRISES I finally got the new filter in and seems locked but it isn't vertical with the lock icon. Does that happen sometimes?
@@lauralocklin4011 did you push in and twist? I would think it should be lined up. Mine is always lined up after installation
@@JMGENTERPRISES yes I pushed it in and twisted and it kept popping out until it finally seems locked but it's not vertical
Why can't I get the red light and blue water light to go away?? Now what's up with the fridge 🤔!!
Have you tried resetting the filter timer? I made a video about how to do that as well - ruclips.net/video/0wGzeJIgHgc/видео.html
Thank you made my job easy for today. Easy fix and she's happy.
Great to hear! Have a great weekend!
That’s 90 degrees not 45 but thank you!
Thanks for the correction. Yeah after publishing the video, I noticed my mistake 😅
Wow that cheap. Bought one for mine in sydney ns and paid $50
00.
Eeek. Sorry to hear that. Was that for a three pack?
No for one.
The reason your filter has a hard time coming out is because you really should turn off water supply to the fridge.
Thanks for the tip Matt! I'll have to try that next time I change the filter.
Is there a way to do that while disabled? We apparently had to have a converter got that to work and we can’t move the fridge. We can’t get the red light to go away cause it’s a different fridge
It could also be that since the filter isn’t OEM, there could be some minor imperfections this causing tight spots within the gaskets.
This may be a dumb question but how do we turn off the water supply from the fridge ?
@@k.m4411 pull the fridge out and look for the water line attached to the wall. There’s a valve that the line is attached to; turn it right until it stops and this closes the water feed to the fridge. He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.-Chinese proverb.
Fridge needs a clean…
I know! Hahahahaha I hate cleaning my fridge. Lol
To remove the filter you need to turn it counter clockwise a full 180 degrees not like this guy did turning it only 90 degrees which is why he almost broke the fridge using channel lock pliers when he didn't need to had he turned it 180 degrees.
Well actually turning off the water will relieve the pressure and make it easy to remove. On mh fridge the filter only needs to turn 90 to remove
I think it's absolutely ridiculous that Samsung requires us to TURN OFF THE WATER SUPPLY LINE BEFORE changing a filter! For us, that means strong
arming the refrigerator out of it's position as a built-in appliance. We have a large one, which is a tight fit - and heavy - and that is just not going to happen. So we have to go out to the yard and turn off the main supply line to the whole house. dispense water from the fridge until the water is gone - replace the filter - then go back and turn on the water supply. And then we get to run all the water lines in the house to clear the air from them. It's so ridiculous! THIS alone is a reason I will never buy another Samsung fridge! 🤬 I thank you for posting the video. I was surprised to see you didn't mention the water supply line at all. I am curious if you did this process without turning it off - and you didn't get a flood? It would really help if you could answer that.
I hear your pain! Especially if your water valve is behind your fridge :-( I would probably just use some channel locks or pliers and remove it without turning off the water valve. It won't hurt anything. It is just harder to remove that way.
Pliers! Really? Try cleaning the fridge. It's insane. It's put together in way so it's difficult to clean or replace the filter. Ugh!
I agree.
Do people really know what counterclockwise is these days? What with all the digital clocks and all.
I hear ya. I still know my CW and CCW 😁
It's not that easy I did it and it started leaking water
You can always turn off your water valve and it will make it easier to remove
Of you have to use that much force you probably didnt loosen it all the way
What do you mean? I usually have to rotate it clockwise pretty hard and push to get it to lock in place.
Shut the water off and you won't have to use a pliers to remove the water filter..... Should be just a valve under the sink that runs to the Fridge.
Thanks for the tip! I will give that a try when I replace my filter next!
