How to Change Your Samsung® Refrigerator Water Filter

Samsung® refrigerator water filters, like most water filters out there, have expiry dates. You have to change them at some point, and getting it right is the only way to get safe, clean, and healthy water. Most Samsung® refrigerators have filter light indicators, ensuring you know when your water filter is due for a replacement.

Start by identifying the model of your Samsung® fridge – this will guide your water filter purchase and ensure you get the right replacement filter.

Samsung® refrigerators have their water filters in different places – it all depends on your model.

Samsung®’s water filter part number for most French doors, side-by-side, and four flex refrigerators from Samsung® is DA29-000020B. However, we recommend checking the correct filter for your product using the model number.

You can identify a Samsung® refrigerator model and serial number by looking out for the first alphabet of the model number. Often, it is “R” except in built-in Chef Series models where it is “BR.” You will most likely see the model number of your Samsung® fridge somewhere around the bottom left side. Another place to check is the inside top frame wall of the fridge.

When the Samsung® refrigerator water filter displays a green or blue hue, you can expect an excellent performance. Note that this may differ slightly, depending on your filter’s model.

A water filter that has served for five months or delivered 450 gallons of water will display a light pink or orange indicator. The refrigerator indicator will turn red once it reaches 500 gallons of filtered water or six months of filtration. The color change indicates it’s time for a filter change.

It is best to change the filter as soon as there is a color change – this ensures harmful impurities do not find their way into your drinking water.

You can follow the steps below to install the water filter in your refrigerator;

These steps will guide you in installing an external water filter in your Samsung® refrigerator;

If your Samsung® fridge has an internal filter, an auto shut-off valve can keep the water shut when swapping out the filter. Otherwise, do not manually shut off your water supply to avoid common installation issues like airlocks and others. When turning the water supply back on, the water either splutters or refuses to come out at all.

If your Samsung® fridge has external filters, we recommend shutting off the water supply before swapping filters. Such refrigerators will have an inline filter without any auto shut-off valve. Instead, only a tubing at either end links directly to the water mains. Therefore, shutting off the water supply during filter swaps prevents flooding from this connection.
