For best results replace your Samsung filter every 6 months.
Features:
• Fresh Filtered Water and Ice at Your Fingertips
This refrigerator water filter is used in select Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerators with filter access inside the refrigerator. While retaining beneficial fluoride this NSF Certified refrigerator water filter reduces cysts chlorine taste and odor particulates (Class I) lead and mercury. Replace your Samsung Refrigerator water filter every 6 months to ensure clean safe drinking water. For added convenience all Samsung refrigerators with an external dispenser have an indicator light on the display that reminds you when it’s time to replace your water filter.
• Certified Performance
Samsung water filters are tested and certified by NSF International a not-for-profit non-governmental organization dedicated to public health safety and environmental protection. This certification is widely recognized around the world as a guarantee of safety and is your assurance that this filter has been tested by one of the most respected independent certification companies in existence today.
• Reduction of Contaminants
Samsung water filters use only a high-grade carbon block which removes over 99 of the potentially harmful contaminants that may be present in your water:
o Chlorine Taste & Odor: Chlorine is used widely to treat water but may add a particular taste and odor to the water
o Heavy Metals & Chemicals: Lead asbestos benzene mercury and carbofuran; these common industrial contaminants with high toxicities can infiltrate the water source and be potentially harmful to your health
o Microbial Cysts: Parasites such as cryptosporidium are commonly found in lakes and rivers. They have a high resistance over disinfectants such as chlorine and thus may be present even in treated water
Follow the below guidelines for when to change your Samsung water filter:
• 6 Months: Recommended for households with municipal water
• 3-6 Months: Changing the filter more often is recommended for households using well water
• Now: If water has visible particulates or an odor you notice a decrease in water flow or the filter indicator light is red (note: about 1 month before the filter needs to be changed the indicator will first turn orange)

A lot of people have commented to turn the water off first. While that is not required of all refrigerators, it's best to turn off the water before replacing your filter just to be safe.
Ms. BM Jesus dude...you obviously need to call a repairman...how pathetic!
Jason Nolasco mind your own business “dude”.

Jim from The Office sure does know a lot about refrigerator maintenance.
Came to say he looked like John Krasinski!!! 😂😂
well, he's a friend of Bob Vance from Vance refrigeration
I came here to check if you really had to pull that big ass thing out to turn the water line off and I'm leaving laughing my ass off. Hats off to you good sir. Comment made my day. 😂
Definitely Jim from the Office. LOL
Lol 😂
Thanks for the help, Jim, and congrats on finally making that career jump out of paper distribution!
Thanks for the video. You’re definitely Jim Halpert’s (The Office) doppelganger.
I just replaced mine without turning off the valve, no water leaked out, took 30 seconds
Thank you for the video!
OMG, I moved into my location a month ago and i kept thinking I'll just find the filter. It was staring at me the whole time. Thank you
Thank you very much for this informative video. Replacing the filter was very easy the first few times I did it; however, this last time when I tried to replace it there was a lot of pressure built up inside and it would push the filter back out, not allowing me to turn it all the way. Because of helpful comments below, I was able to turn off the water to my entire home, get the remaining water from the water dispenser out (less than a glass), and THEN the filter could be replaced. Also, for those not sure about how to turn off the "replace filter" warning light, on my fridge if you hold the "Alarm" button down for three seconds, the warning light will disappear. Thanks to all the commenters who provided help!
Doh… thanks for how to reset the filter light! I was staring at the panel without figuring it out, but now that you explained it, it’s so obvious. It says right there: “Filter Reset (3 sec)”
This is very helpful - will definitely try to turn of off the main water and then empty the fridge’s tank (not sure why I didn’t think of that before lol)
Thank you, I fixed my warning sign by your comment help
FYI: Not only may you have to shut off the water in your house, you may have to shut the water off connecting to your fridge. This is what happened to me. I called Samsung and they said that water builds up behind the fridge in the water hose -- and the only way to turn it (because of the water pressure) is to shut off the water supply to the fridge. The problem of course, is that if the water supply is not easily accessible (which in my case is true), then you have to move the fridge so you can get to the hose. Since the fridge is very heavy and in tight spot, this is a huge inconvenience. Honestly, because you are supposed to change these filters every 6 months and if you have the same issue of not being able to easily shut off the water to the fridge, I may suggest to looking into a different fridge. It may not be worth it for all this trouble.
I have the same kind of frig only the filter is in right upper corner. I had to pull out my frig which can only go so far til it hits a cabinet. I turned off the water supply behind the frig and it changed out very easily this time. The last time, I didn't turn off the water supply and it was a bear changing it. Must be because of water pressure.
Just turn off your main water first. Drain a bit from the dispenser and then change the filter, no need to move your fridge
@@myvids4329 Ok will try that next time. thanks!
Yes, I have the problem now. Terrible design
I hate this so freaking much.
Wow. It took everyone's comments to finally help reset the red filter light. This is a ridiculous process. I'm a 73-year-old woman with a cardiac condition and no way am I going to move the refrigerator to shut the water valve off. After great difficulty removing the old filter, I was able to do it with a set of pliers still with some difficulty. Putting the new filter in was equally difficult. It took all my strength and the pliers to turn the filter into Lock, but then I could not turn the red filter light off. Thank you to the person who suggested pressing the Alarm for 3 seconds. At first, it didn't work, but that's because, in addition to pressing the Alarm for 3 seconds, I had to go back and press the Red Filter for 3 seconds. Finally, it worked. Had I known all this before purchasing the refrigerator, I would never have bought it. Don't get me wrong, I live the fridge, but changing the filer is another matter. Goes to show you, you have to check out EVERYTHING before making a purchase.
This was very helpful, but to take it one step further, the red light is still on, and although there's instruction on the refrigerator, just add, don't forget to hold the filter reset button down for 3 seconds. Thanks for the help, short and simple video. Much appreciated.
Where's the filter reset button?
I didn’t change my filter yet, but where is the reset button
Would not have thought to look in such an obvious place. The design thinking was effective as it makes the add-on filter cost a priority!
To get rid of the red filter icon for the french door style Samsung refrigerator:
After removing the old water filter and installing a new one, reset the indicator light by pressing and holding the "Alarm / Hold For 3 sec.
For Filter Reset" button for 3 seconds.
For models with interior controls press and hold the Fridge and Power Cool buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Thanks you so much
thanks for your help.
Just the info I was looking for... The reset button. Thanks
What if I don't have the "Alarm" buttonfor the reset after changing? My ice maker in the bottom freezer is not producing ice and I need to reset after changing the filter. It's an RF260/BEAESR/AA. Thanks!
Thanks !
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for making me smarter than I was before! My hands have problems turning this filter, but YOU made it so we could figure it out! You ROCK!
Thank you! I know you made this three years ago but saved me today.
That was a very helpful short and sweet video. Thanks
Thanks! I kept looking everywhere for the damn filter on the door panel and ice maker.. I was wrong the whole time ..lol
It doesn't mention in the instructions on the filter box to remove the cap from the filter, but I see it's off in the video. They really should mention that on the box, even if it seems like everyone should know that. A lot of us aren't handy, even to do something as simple as this, so thanks for the video! And you do look like Jim from The Office. I'm sure you hear that all time!
Great help. Thank you. I can’t believe I looked all through out the fridge and missed that. Thank you.
IKR!
Wow thanks for this tutorial. I couldn't find my manual and when I downloaded one it was impossible to follow and didn't mention where the filter was located.
I wish I saw your video before trying. I turned it to unlock and tried to pull it straight out (but couldn't). Eventually, I fussed with the knob and it did eject. Great video !!!
Short and SWEET!!! As it should be.
THANK YOU!
Thank You! Samsung does not show where the filter is located so I really appreciate the clear instructions with demo. :-)
Awesome vid! Totally helped and thank you for the tip of running 2 gallons of water before drinking
I have finally learned to use a pair of pliers. Only way to get water filter out, even with the water shut off. My refrigerator is a four door like the one in the video. Don't know if this will work if I don't turn the water off to release pressure, but I would love to be able to change the filter without turning the water off. Too trouble to get the frig out.
Thank you for this video. We had a tech come out to our home yesterday to fix a leak, and he showed me how to replace the filter. GREAT job.
Did you have to turn off the water?
Thank you for a very easy explanation. I have seen this knob and had no idea what was it for. Again Thank you
Nice job ... clear, crisp, easy to understand! Good work!
Thank you. Very helpful. So easy.😁
Super helpful thank you! Reminder to everyone to run through the first two gallons so that the water clears through the the manufacturer minerals that’s first on the new filter. Just grab a blender glass
That's a great tip, Luiggi Mori. Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching!
It was as easy as you said. You are a good Teacher. Thanks much
u saved my dad and i's life... so simple!
O wow thanks you so much I looked and looked and could not find it that was so easy
Thank you very much. Videos like this make RUclips such a useful resource.
Thank you for explaining this! Super easy!
Thank you so much for this!
Thank you for your value video.
Thank you - able to change my filter after watching your video!!
Great job, thank-you
How simple! Thanks for the share.
Very informative!!
As others have said, even with the tap turned off, I had to use a set of vise grips to remove the old filter. If you do this make sure to use a towel with the vise grips to make sure you don't destroy the old filter and leave it irremovable.
Thanks! Simplicity made simple!
Thank you so much for making this video!!!!
Super helpful, thanks! I keep this link in my Outlook for handy reference !!!
That's awesome, Michael Toub! Glad we could help. Thanks for watching!
Very helpful.....thanks! 😁
Thank you. You saved me from pulling my hair out...LOL
very helpful! Thank you
thanks for the information it was helpful. I had a new fridge and didnot turn the water off. In the morning water was dripping from fridge all over the floor. I have removed and turned the water off. Will try again and see how it goes.
Thank you!
Very Good simple video
Thank you for the video. It was very helpful. I was so excited to be able to go online to find how easy it was to replace the filter.
@lonnetteshaw4485 We're glad the video helped!
Great information.
Thank you for teaching me
What?? This is so simple! Thanks for the explanation
thank you and thank you samsung for making it so easy damn
I can't get mines to turn
Same
“Mine”
The warranty guy came in to check on a job and he was able to remove it and replaced it. I think the issue is it's very hard to turn. You will have to get someone with strong arms.
I just took mine out it was hard but it’s possible
@@JustinCase-my5vc my filter is hard to turn also, but I just pressed hard and it turned
THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT'S SO EASY!
Very simple thank you!
i changed the filter. Thanks so much for this video, however would you know why i still have a high PH level. I used a test strip all other levels are good except the PH. Would you know why?
Much appreciated Jim!
Thanks man!
Thanks for making a one minute video. Too many "how to" videos are 10 minutes when they should be 2. 👍
@Scott P You're welcome! We try to keep them as brief as we can and still give the necessary info. Thanks for watching!
Hi thank you for this video it was very helpful, our refrigerator filter needs to be replaced for a while now and yesterday it the refrigerator stoped dispensing ice, could that be why?, we only had it for 10 months!
thank you Mr.abt electronics
your video helped me a great deal on how to purchase filter and remove it

God Bless you in Jesus name
thank you for the help!!
Thank you for posting this helpful video!
Thank you
Fast Easy instructions THX
Alot !!!!!!!
I simply activated the child lock by pressing and holding “Ice Off” for 3 seconds. This cuts the water (it seems). And I was finally able to add a new filter, without it torpedoing back out at me.
Soooo smart, thanks.
So this worked without turning the water off to your house?
@@notjoecheez1 Surely does, I just did it ! This should have been an instruction in the video !! It's clearly the proper way to do it.
Nice I will try that.
You honestly saved my life 😂 I kept trying to turn it but it kept pushing back and releasing water on me. Thanks !
thank you
I have a model without water dispenser and just ice machine. Assuming that first few batches need to be discarded, how much need to be discarded?
I like such videos. Very straigh to the point
Thank you !!!!!!!!
The video was very helpful.
Thank you and nice video, very clear and crisp..
If it seems stuck or hard to turn this helped me out.
Before removing the water filter.
Turn off the water to the house.
Open up the taps nearest the refrigerator to drain out.
Fill up a glass of water that may still remain in your refrigerator to release any remaining pressure.
Then remove, replace filter.
Turn off the taps you opened so they don't spray out
Slowly turn the water to the house back on.
Then slowly turn on the taps again in the house to get the water flowing again.
Great and proper way of doing it. I took a chance and didn't turn the water off and used two adjustable wrench's. With one wrench I clamped down on the knob of the filter and with the other wrench I clamped down on the side of the first wench and turned with a mechanical advantage. No water sprayed out but some came out of the old filter. I had to push a tad bit to overcome the water pressure and turned the new filter in.
Very helpful.
Thank you !!!
Hello I have been having issues with ours and I noticed that the piece that I believe it suppose to be in the center of the filter is not in the center of the filter I can press and water comes out with lots of pressure. Your thoughts? Thank you for your consideration.
Didn't even see the filter in my fridge until I seen this . Cheers
Same here, had mine for well over 5 years and just now got a replacement in the mail...
Thanks. It would've been nice to see how to reset the sensor.
Right! Lol
What an easy process and a great design by Samsung.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for clearly describing and showing exactly what to do!! Do you have videos about other home repairs?
@pamalatetens788 We do have other videos on different topics. We're an appliance and electronics store in Glenview, Illinois, so they're mostly about topics that relate to products we sell. Here's a link to the playlist of How To videos we've made: ruclips.net/p/PLSkTTTR4711Ia90ylD_s8cQU5vipdJGdt
If replacement filter is unavailable, does Samsung offer a filer bypass plug, to prevent leaks?
You're a life saver
Thanks Jim
Thanks you save mi life
Thanks for the video, and thanks to the other commentators as well. Hmmm, 2 gallons to flush the new filter...with no water dispenser, and only an ice maker... seems like its a lot of test cycles (i.e., cycle with no freezing) to go through.
Thank you so much 💐👍🙏🌷🌹
Water must be shut off and removing pressure in the system by dispensing water (into a glass) before removing the filter.
Thanks for that info which is super important. Don’t know why they didn’t say that in the video. Wonder how many people got water everywhere because of this vid
@@notjoecheez1 You don't need to turn the water off. I do it all the time with no water leaking. It is, however very hard to turn if you leave the water on. If you don't have strong hands, there is no way you'll be able to get it out.
@@bassage13 Thank you for clarifying that. This is what I always did with my old refrigerator.
@@islandtimerick2671 If you can't turn it with your hands, you can use a vise grip, but you must use a towel under the grip so you don't break the plastic on the filter.
I just changed my filter without turning off the water. Surprise! There was no flood.
Very helpful ,thank you
Our french door refrigerator does not have a water dispenser but does have an ice maker. How do I purge the filter without a water dispenser? It would take forever to purge even a gallon of water through the ice maker alone.
same question here!!
These comments needlessly scared me. All you have to do is shut the water to the house. Turn on the faucet at the kitchen sink and you'll have very little pressure and then a trickle. Replace the filter as shown in the video. Run water through the refrigerator for a few gallons. Push the filter reset button for 3 seconds and you're done.
It's suggested to shut off water supply to fridge OR your main water shut off for the house if it's too difficult to get to the fridge shut off... I did NOT do that on mine and so far haven't had any issues (no leaking water). To clear the red filter indicator light, try holding down the "Crushed Ice" button for 3 secs... Or whatever button has the "Filter Reset (3sec)" written on it. Make sure to dispose of the first 2 gallons before drinking water from the new filter. All info came from these comments, just trying to share the important info we're all looking for.
Lol did pranking Dwight get boring for you, so you left the paper industry to work in appliances.
The first thing you mentioned is not really the first step. Simply not mentioning to shut off the water, costed me my whole weekend to cleanup the flood due to dripping overnight. If you don't shut off the water, the water pressure behind the filter prevents perfect seal at the time of reinstalling the new filter.

Ugh thank you for this info we put ours in and it made a pressure noise and then stopped so we thought it was right then we came home two hours later to a giant puddle in our kitchen kind of a stupid design :/
Thank you for this. When I first tried to install the filter without turning the water off, it sounded like my filter was leaking and was hard to put in. As soon as I turned the water off, it went in easy peasy!!
Bull
I have the same situation. Painful experience. Have to close the water valves first. Also listen to the filter if it has strange noise few minutes after installation
Do I need to change the filter if I have the fridge model that does not dispense water? Only ice.
I have the same exact fridge. 4 door Samsung. I have no problem removing and putting on a new one. The main problem is when I replace it with a new filter, it would dispense less than 5 seconds then a complete stop. I'd replace the old one back and it would dispense with no problem. Replace a new in, same thing, it stops dispensing after few seconds. I've tried Samsung brand, waterdrop (which is what's currently on the fridge that works) and water specialist. None of them worked. Please advise.
I have not seeing anything about turning the water valve off in your speech before taking the water filter out.
Have the same fridge Samsung Model: RF28JBEDBSG and just purchased the filter and waiting to arrive so i can replace.
Thanks for that video.
well thanks you helped me find the filter! BUT, mine is so difficult I had to get my husband to take it out and then to put it back in. I am wondering if it is the wrong size? I have French doors and a middle door and then freezer. So I ordered the one that was in the ridge when it got delivered to my house.
