Owners of Samsung refrigerators know that their water filters are important, but they often aren't sure when to replace them. Samsung fridge filters use carbon blocks to extract impurities from your home's water supply, giving you a refreshing and pure taste every time. Water filtration also affects ice quality, so you may notice a significant decline in taste if your filter has reached the end of its lifespan. The carbon block inside of a Samsung fridge filter can last up to 6 months. While you may still have water flowing through your filter after this time frame, the carbon block is no longer working to its full capacity.
When choosing a new fridge filter, you have to consider not only the make and model of your own but also how long yours has been in operation. Areas that have greater concentrations of sediment, like city water, may cause a filter to run its course more quickly. If you and your family also use your fridge water dispenser a lot throughout the day, you may need to get a new filter sooner.

Do I Really Need to Change the Water Filter in my Samsung Fridge?
While factors such as usage and water quality will influence the duration of your fridge filter, most manufacturers and experts like us recommend replacing your refrigerator water filter every six months. Replacing your filter twice annually is the best way to ensure you will always have the cleanest water and that your fridge filter will work at optimal efficiency. If the filter is not replaced often enough, your fridge can experience mechanical issues. Chemicals, sediment and bacteria will also start to flow through to your drinking water once your refrigerator water filter hits maximum capacity.
If you have not replaced the water filter in your Samsung refrigerator for some time, the first step to finding the correct filter is identifying the model type. The type of fridge water filter you have influences how it operates as well as what type of replacements you can buy; there are many alternative refrigerator water filters for a Samsung refrigerator, but choosing the right Samsung water filter requires the exact model number of your current filter. You'll also need to find out your water filter location in order to install your new filter.
In the video below, we explain how to easily identify what type of Samsung filter you have. This process only takes a few minutes, and once you have the appropriate information, you can begin choosing the best replacement.
Here's how to identify which Samsung refrigerator water filter you'll need:
How Often Should You Change the Water Filter in Your Samsung Refrigerator?
The general six-month recommendation is advisable for individuals who do not use more than 10 litres of water per day. Exceeding the 1800 litre filtration capacity of standard water filters will result in less filtered water that tastes more like tap water. While it may not be unsafe to drink, it can contain a wide variety of contaminants and particles that you do not want to consume.
When it's time to change your water filter, the filter indicator on your Samsung refrigerator will turn red. Every Samsung water filter also comes with a month sticker on the cartridge to indicate its age and when to replace it. We also recommend that you set calendar reminder at the 6 month mark to remind you when the filter needs to be changed. If you lose power to your fridge for any amount of time, the refrigerator filter light can reset itself for a further 6 months. We even have a reminder service when you order with us- we will send you a notification when your refrigerator filters are due to be changed to help you keep on top of these replacements. If you notice that your Samsung water filter indicator light has turned red, it's time to look into a Samsung filter replacement.
Refrigerator water filters do not last long compared to other types of filtration equipment. They are built for everyday use, but refrigerator filters require routine replacements to ensure your home's water supply remains fresh and clean. If you notice a chlorine taste or strange smell from your drinking water, then you likely have an old Samsung water filter that can no longer catch particles and chemicals effectively.
What Happens if You Don't Change Your Samsung Refrigerator Water Filter?

All refrigerator water filters are built to give you the cleanest drinking water possible. Samsung filters use a high grade carbon block to reduce contaminants such as chlorine, heavy metals and chemicals from your water supply and water dispenser.
Dirty or clogged fridge filters may produce water that has a foul smell or bad taste as well as result in a slower flow rate; without changing your Samsung refrigerator water filters, you can also find yourself having to deal with mineral buildup or scaling in your actual refrigerator; this causes more particles to get packed into every ice cube and ounce of water from your water dispenser and ice maker. If you don't change your refrigerator water filter at all, you could even find your water supply line or ice maker breaking down due to this scaling and build-up. Repairs for this reason can be costly, but are easily avoidable by replacing the filter regularly and disposing of your old filter.
What Type of Samsung Refrigerator Filter Do I Need?
There are several different types of Samsung refrigerator filters on the market, including genuine filters and generic filters. You may order them from the official manufacturer, but these can be expensive. One way to save money is by purchasing a refrigerator water filter that is compatible with your refrigerator but may not necessarily be of the same brand, which are just as effective as the branded refrigerator water filters.
After you have identified the model number you're working with, we can suggest the correct filter replacement or alternative. Most refrigerator filters work similarly, which means you have a range of options as long as they are compatible with your fridge model.
Following the Samsung refrigerator models guidelines for water filter installation when you change your water filter is imperative; it's the only way to guarantee that your drinking water is filtered and purified the way it should be and to ensure contaminant reduction. If you feel discouraged at all the options or aren't sure where to begin, we're here to help.
