*******************************
Today, I'll be showing a more detailed version video on changing the water filter on the Samsung French door Fridge. I'll be showing which Samsung filter to purchase, how to change the filter, resetting the filter alarm, and how to flush out the air in the water filter lines from the fridge.

how do i turn it off tho
@@scoopshort If it's the standard fridge water line setup, there's a faucet to turn off. The other one is main water for the unit.
@@netman88 also the filter fit depends on the model. mine fits perfectly
@@scoopshort no need to shut off water. The refrigerator comes with a check valve. Just remove and replace.

This was a life saver. I read the manual and it was useless. I love RUclips!!
Same here i reread it 3 times and decided to youtube
Yup, I read it, did what it said and still didn’t work. The only thing he did different was to turn off the door alarm
Yes it was! I didn’t even waste my time with the manual. I went right to RUclips.
Same here! I just saw this video and this gentleman helped more than Samsung manual. Loved it
For real,same happened to me . Till decided to look it up on here! Thank Goodness!
Thank you. How Samsung neglected to include the reset procedure is beyond me. Thank God this was only the second video I watched.
Mission accomplished.
Thank you. Much easier explanation than the manual or other videos. I'm glad you mentioned about having to turn it clockwise more than once before it fit in the slot. Worked like a charm.
Just adding no need to shut off water line. Good video nice close up shots and good explanation. No crappy music in the background.😁
I watch this video every time I need to replace my filter. Just want to say thank you for creating it!
Happy to help!
Factual 😅
Thank you for your knowledge on resetting the filter. We checked the book and several videos before I found yours. Your instructions were great! It would save a lot of time if Samsung gave more detailed instructions on this subject. Again thank you!
Awww... the package the Filter came in, I had to FIGHT to get it out, I thought what the "H@#L, Wheres the Hammer & Drill..🥵
Super helpful! The manual left out the important part about pushing the door alarm button first before pushing the ice maker button! The red light is now out! 😁
Thank you! We couldn’t figure out how to reset the indicator- this was the only place we could get the info
I couldn’t either. Went to website and that was a mess to even find the fridge.
Truly agree with u.👍
Same!
Same 🤨😄
Excellent video-saved a trip back to Lowe’s- solved reset and filter was correct but did not quiet look like original🙄
I'm glad I saved this video. Of course, five months later, when I needed to change the filter again, and I forgot how to reset the filter light. Then I remembered I saved your video, and you're still a lifesaver!
You're welcome!
me too. I hope he did a video on taking the glass off the bottom panel to clean. Seems like they could make the instructions on the door clearer. I had 4 people, young and old, trying and failing to reset the filter warning!
Thank you for the video. The filter light was driving me crazy until I saw you have to unlock the controls then hold the Ice Maker button for the reset. This video was very clear and to the point. Thanks
Thank you so much I’m 75 and you made this so easy for me to understand and do myself instead of calling someone 👍
Glad I could help!
$3000 for this bleepity bleep refrigerator and you have to go to RUclips to find out how to reset the bleepity bleeping filter. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video.
Great video. The manual didn't mention to unlock the screen control button before resetting the filter red light at all. You are my life saver.
We tried all sorts of solutions to get that filter light off. You had the solution to my model. It worked correctly the first time. Many thanks for your time and energy in putting this out. We were really scratching our heads on this one. And it all comes down to two buttons.
Glad it helped
Instructions contained in the owner's manual on how to clear water filter alarm didn't work for me. Your video showed me the right way and it worked! Thanks!
Thank you for sharing - most helpful. As for bleeding the system after the filter is changed, since this model has a water pitcher built in, all you have to do is let it fill and empty the filter several times.
You saved me....... you have the exact model as I have. Thank you 🙏🏻 Very precise directions. My filter is changed and that pesky red light is off. ❤️
You're welcome!
Omg!! That light had me in a slight panic!
I searched and searched for answers to no avail, then I found your video. I can’t thank you enough!!!
Very helpful. The owners manual made no mention of pressing the door alarm button first. That made the difference and this video solved my problem.
Thx for posting.
awesome explanation - thank you!!
totally agree with other viewers that its baffling how Samsung didn't provide these steps
Thank you so much!! Agree with other posters, manuals and other U tube videos are useless. They do not tell one to turn off door lock first then press the ice maker icon. So frustrating- you are a life saver!
Glad to help
This video is wonderful! I go to it every time I need to replace the fridge water filter. Thanks for posting such detailed directions!
Thanks for the feedback.
Wow! Thank you! All the other instructions said hold 2 buttons. I did, then all the lights flashed and turned off the unit. 🤦🏻♀️ Your video is supper accurate! 💯❣️
Thank you. I knew that it couldn't be hard, but i couldn't figure it out.
Your fridge is just like ours and it was so very easy after I watched your great video.
I'm on my 3rd filter, had the fridge 1.5 years and of course I can't remember how to do something I only do every 6 months. The owner's manual is useless. Thanks for your video. I have to confess I made the stupid mistake of not removing the filter cap first, and it came off and got stuck inside the cavity, so my filter would not go in flush and lock. I was confused that the old filter wouldn't fit either, so I thought I broke something inside. The owner's manual being useless (no photos), I needed your video to confirm that indeed the filter should sit in tight and flush.
It's a pain to pull the fridge out and turn off the water; I have done it both ways and I deem this step unnecessary if it's highly inconvenient. Not worth scratching my hardwood floor any more than it already is, in addition to scratching the side. Thanks again. Wow 732 comments, impressive! Shame on SAMSUNG for publishing such a crappy owner's manual, or you wouldn't have this many hits.
Thanks for the video! I bought my filter at Home Depot and it fit perfectly! You're right, it was a task and a half to get the filter out of the package. Last step was to clear the red "filter" alarm and your video did the trick!
Nice work!
Tell me about it. It took me 5 minutes to get it out of the packaging lol
I was wondering where to buy tks
I agree. Heads should roll for that plastic packaging. Almost stabbed myself to death trying to get that mf filter out of the package.
Super helpful, thanks so much for posting! I spent the last 2 days trying to figure it out based on other postings that failed to mention the unlock button as you did.
You saved my parents's lives!! They had been trying to reset for 3 days. I told them to watch youtube and they found you. Thank you!!
That's why I'm here to find information when needed, Thanks RUclips!
I did the same thing thank you our savior RUclips :) it really needs a religion followers
I come back to this video about once every 8 months, thanks for posting it!
Wow, thanks!
This is a great help...I read and reread the manual , unplug the refrigerator for 5 minutes, and kept draining the water, hold the ice maker button for 3 seconds for like about 30 minutes .....what the manual does not tell you, is that you have to shut the door alarm off , after the beeping , you hold the ice machine button for 3 secs. , trying every 5 minutes for the refrigerator to reset.So this video was a great help ..I wrote it down in back of my refrigerator manual also for future reference. And you showed the same model of the refrigerator I have so that helped alot. Thank you so much.😊
Glad to help.
Very grateful! I looked at the refrigerator manual, and the instructions weren't clear enough to let me turn off the "replace filter" light. I followed the VERY clear instructions in this video, and got it to turn off.. Thank you!!
Glad to help
My bottom shelf in my door has the same items as your shelf!😊
Thank you for the video. Once I watched it I noticed that I did have it smaller writing the directions for how to reset. Silly me I didn’t notice. I appreciate your video
Perfect, simple and to the point. Thank you for this helpful video!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. I just changed my water filter and couldn’t get the the red “filter” light off. your procedure was spot on.
You're welcome!
Thank YOU! This was the only video or instructions on the entire internet - that helped me turn the filter light OFF after changing it.
Glad to help. :)
Excellent video. Made it an easy process changing the water filter . Also, helped removed Red Light flashing when Filter was replaced. Thanks!
Thank you for making this. We watch it every time we have to change the filter.
Me too!
Man, you are a lifesaver I’m archiving your video so every six months I have to replace the water filter. I watch a video first. Thanks a bunch. Goat Status
Great to hear!
This was the BEST explanation- thank you. You were slow enough and thorough.
Yw
Thank you!!! I totally agree with the previous comment. The manual was no help! Your video cleared up our issues!
Thank you for this video! We had no clue how to reset the indicator. You rock!!
A lot more clearly explained than the manual. Thanks.
Great video. Replaced the filter and tried for 15 minutes to clear the filter light. Watched this and followed the steps in video and it worked right away. Thanks.
THANK YOU!!!! I wasn’t sure how to change the filter and reset the filter light. A big help!!!! 😊
*****IF THIS DIDN’T WORK, TRY THIS!!!
I couldn’t got mine to reset. After watching about 1/2 of your video I tried, again to no avail...then. Then I noticed a flashing 🔒 icon, at the bottom. 🤦🏻♀️ I couldn’t reset it because it was LOCKED! So hold down the flashing lock for 3 seconds. Boom. We still have our manual and couldn’t figure it out. I think your calm demonstration gave me wisdom my friend!
Thanks for sharing also
G. O. A. T
DEFINITELY needed this. Thank you!!
Yayyyyy thank you it’s fixed now
Thank you!
Thanks for this video I was searching and searching to see how to reset the filter and this is the only video that showed it for my exact refrigerator. Thanks
Thank you for this video, after the frustration of getting the filter out of the package the frustration of how to turn the filter light off began.I can’t believe how useless the manual that came with the refrigerator is. Appreciate the time you took to make this video.In the future I will think twice before buying another Samsung product!
Glad it helped!
Many of the product manuals lack details besides Samsung also.
The package was IMPOSSIBLE to open. I cut my finger while opening it.
Also, thanks Netman!
@@netman88 changed my filter now I have no water coming out ?? What do I do?
@@LuisMartinez-co2wy Is the water turned on for the fridge water line?
@@netman88 I had locked the water all good tks
Excellent video, it answered all my questions on the reset light and why the new cartridge didn't fit the same way the original cartridge fit into the slot. Thanks!
We were worried about the gaps, also. It seemed fine. Did you turn off the water to the house?
@@OH-fz3qr I didn't. There still seems to be water in the cartridge, but the water wasn't a problem at all.
I watch this every 6 months just to make sure I’m replacing it correctly.. thank you!
Thanks, I also watch my own videos to refresh my memory on it also.
Thanks - I was really struggling to change my filter until I saw it could take several twists and figured out I needed to push a lot harder.
Yes correct. This video made it so much simpler. I was shutting the water supply off, and pushing the filter straight to the back and then attempting to turn it. The filter of course kept leaking😬
Your video is very easy to follow and life saver at the same time!😂 Thank you.
Glad to help.
THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS BECAUSE IT WAS WORKING MY NERVES!!!!!!!!!
It’s so easy, but without the guide i would have not figured it out ☺️thanks!
Your video was so on point! Thanks so much. I was watching other videos and they lost me after removing the filter! I am subscribing! Again, thank you so much. Be Blessed.
Glad it was helpful!
Great tutorial video! I’m tackling this task today and the manual was useless. Your video saved my sanity!
Glad to help!
Perfect!!!! This was explained way better than the manual
Wow, thanks!
I'm saving this video so every 6 months I can get a refresher course in Samsung Filter-ology!!!!
Thank you for being the first video I could find to finally answer my question on exactly how to reset the filter light!
Glad I could help!
This video saved me! I watch a different one first and it was no help. This one was perfect, thanks for the. Step by step 😊
You explained so well. 100 percent more clear than manual. Thank you
very well explain. I am glad you did this video. It is no easy as it looks.
Thanks for your instructions❣️ The manual didn’t say so. I’ve struggled to find the right answer to no avail. Yours was easy and simple. Thanks again.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for this! I thought I had done it right and tried to read the manual and they left out some steps! all good now:)
Thanks for making my day easy.
This video is a lifesaver. The only thing I had to do different is I had to use a pair of channel locks to take out the old filter because it was a aftermarket filter. never again. use ONLY the genuine factory filter. You’ll be better off unless YOU LIKE fighting to get the filter in and out of the Device. 🤓
Thanks for sharing. Please use the OEM filter to avoid issues.
Agree with the comments. This was the only video that demonstrated how to reset the indicator. Thank you!
Glad it helped
simple and straightforward. the style I appreciate.
Great info, I don’t know I have to press the alarm to reset the filter, I was thinking the filter is fake product as the red indicator does not go away after I replace the filter, went to Bestbuy and bought another one, I was told I have to reset the alarm so that the red light will go off, I was still confused until I watched your video, thank you so much!
Best info on resetting filter light for this model. Thanks!
Thank you
Thankyou life saver .. will def watch this again and again when ever i change the water filter.
Thank you,because I changed out my filter but the light wouldn't go away. Your video helped,thank you.
Perfect explanation Thank You!
I always use a pair of locking pliers to install and remove the filter. Works like a charm. It can be hard to turn the filter on some models
Yes, that doable also.
I have HUGE fingers, I use needle nose pliers to grab that bad boy to remove....works like a charm!
I was unable to believe that the manual which is about 1/2 in thick doesn't tell you how to turn this light off. But then it is in more than one language. Samsung is a great refrigerator but the documentation is really awful. I want to thank you for telling me how to turn the light off before I contacted Samsung and was put on hold for another 20 minutes. You tube rocks!!!
Thank you! This was much better, and faster than finding the documentation.
This video was helpful for changing the filter and resetting the filter button. But in the video the guy says to flush out about 1gallon. It actually says on the filter package to flush out 3 gallons under where it says how does it fit just FYI. But thanks for the video, very informational.
I literally watch this every 6 months, my memory is that bad 😆
Yeah really! I tend to sleep too many times between filter changes and have to watch this video every time. I have it bookmarked in my browser.
same! Sucks to get old
Glad to know I am not the only one 😅
Good instruction for resetting the Filter alarm. Holding the Door Alarm button for three (3) seconds is a good tip. I could not reset the filter alarm by holding the Ice Maker button for three (3) seconds until I unlocked the Door Alarm.
Thank you for the video. I couldn't figure out. Where was filter Without this video. I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much we had a major water disaster happening because the new filter hadn’t sealed properly so after that I gave up on finding where I hid the book from myself!!!
I just flooded my kitchen trying to change the filter, how did you do it right?
Thank you! The owner’s manual was LESS than helpful for my unit: it actually said to turn off the water source before changing the filter! I’m 67, I live alone, and would have had to call for service. I also did not know the filter had to be turned two or three revolutions to insert it, since it came out with only a half turn, and I kept trying to force it in with a single 90° turn. This video needs to be included in the owners’ manual! Lol
Totally agree with Jennie!
We went out and turned off all water to our house. Nice to know that step is unnecessary!
Thanks for the detailed instructions! After unlocking the refrigerator first, I was able to reset the filter light without any problems.
Yw
Thank you so much for the great video. I also turned off my water main and drained a bit of water out of the door dispenser to relieve the pressure and make the whole process easier (as you mentioned in your pinned comment).
You're welcome!
Thank you! I knew how to reset the light but my filter wouldn't go in very easily.
**** HELPFUL HINT***
I noticed so many people leave the 10 year warranty sticker on their fridges. I didn't like it, looks tacky,, so I tried taking it off. Not so easy.
BUT, my husband said use a hair dryer and it came off in about 10 seconds. Try it!!
How did you get it back in? I’m having a similar issue. It won’t go back in and it’s making a mess
Thank you for this video! The manual is as clear as mud and I couldn't even locate the filter. My only question is do I have to turn the water off first? The manual says to turn it off but your video and none of the comments mention that part.
Yup that's ridiculous right ? This time of tech are awesome these days. Turn water off ?? LOL Never heard of that.
Did you ever get an answer for this? Do I have to turn off the water first? This is the only comment I’ve seen regarding this
Thank you so much, could not get the new one in until I watched your video!
Thanks for showing the rest, and talking about clearing the air from the water
So much more user friendly than the user guide that came with it. Would have been a really hit to know how to use the panel
Thank you for clear, useable step by step inatructions
There was NO instructions on package, the one I bought....!
I’m having so much trouble with replacement. I had to use pliers to get the old one out, it would not turn counterclockwise as easy as all the videos show. I’m currently struggling to put the new one in. I slide it in, when I turn clockwise, I can hear some water pressure and then it’s just too difficult to turn and water starts leaking from the part where the rubber gaskets are supposed to screw in. Any help please!?
**edit** I used the pliers again to turn it clockwise.
I have the same problem.
Thank you for going the extra mile. I watched other videos but they failed to provide how to reset the filter alarm.
You're welcome!
Thank you for this video.
I thave been pulling my hair out trying to understand the worthless instructions on how to reset the filter light.
Your video is perfect.
You're welcome!
Who knew you had to first unlock the panel???? Thanks!!!!!
Bless you sir! that damn thing was driving me nuts! I was thinking of a career in politics! You have saved me from a fate worse than death!
Thank you! Your video helped me reset the filter light. 👍🏽
Thanks for sharing! My replacement filter I purchased was from Samsun, and it fit perfectly without open gaps. Samsung offers discounts on the filters when purchased in buclk or as a subscription every 6 months.
Thanks for sharing
I can’t get my filter in. The water filter doesn’t turn in at all. It just rotates in the hole
After removing the filter caps, it should go in fine.
Thank you! Samsung’s manual is a poor explanation.
POOR?! You sir are being too kind! The samsung manual sucks harder than a politician asking for money!
It's not bad it just has to many images and words some ppl understand some dont you just need to be smart
@@garyl6031 it's garbage and the qr code is the same. The only good thing is that I found this video in the recommended viewing suggestions.
Even Spencer's, where I bought it from, couldn't help me. I got 3:10 into your video, paused the video and three second later our Filter was turned off. Thanks, that dang light was driving my wife nuts!
Your video was awesome not even the manual helped as much as you,thankyou so much
You're welcome!
