Replacing the Water Filter of your Samsung Refrigerator
Please Note: The information on this page is for Australian products only. Models, sequences, error codes or settings will vary depending on location and/or where the product had been purchased. To be redirected to your local support page please click here.
Samsung Side by Side and French Door refrigerators with an ice and/or water dispenser are equipped with a water filtration system located either outside or inside the refrigerator. These models require a plumbed water connection. You may notice that every 6 months or so, the filter indicator on your fridge blinks red to remind you that your water filter needs to be replaced.
When replacing your water filter, it is important to use Samsung provided or approved water filters (you can find them on our website). Unapproved filters may leak and damage the refrigerator, causing electric shock. Samsung holds no responsibility for any damage that may occur from use of third party water filters.
Once you have your new Samsung provided or approved water filter ready, follow the guide below for steps on how to replace the water filter of your Samsung refrigerator.

- The design and features of your refrigerator will differ depending on the model. Please consult your user manual to check the design and features specific to your refrigerator.
Please be advised that if you need to adjust the length of the water lining tube, make sure to smooth out the cut surface at a right angle (as shown below). This is to prevent a water leak.
Note:
- A newly installed filter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briefly. This is because air has entered the waterline.
- The replacement process may cause the water dispenser to drip for a short period of time. If it drips, simply wipe up any water on the floor with a dry towel.
Note:
- Some models will not have a cartridge cover. You can simply turn the knob of the filter to unlock and remove.
• If the water filter is severely contaminated, the cartridge may not remove easily. If so, use force to remove the cartridge.
• To prevent water leaks from the filter opening, pull the cartridge straight out while removing it.
Reset by tapping any button to wake the display. Then, tap the circle icon until the Water Filter indicator blinks. Use the arrow buttons < or > to select Reset or Later (if you have replaced your filter, select Reset).
Note:
- A newly installed filter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briefly. This is because air has entered the water line. Water may also drip during the replacement process. If this happens, wipe up with a dry cloth.
- Do NOT use the water or ice dispenser without a water filter cartridge because the water line may become blocked.
