It's annoying that customers are resulting into buying fake filters because of Samsungs lack of stock. Do not sell products that need replacement products if you can't keep up with supply. I should have looked into this before buying Samsung fridge.

I just changed the filter and it didn't leak. As the instructions and other reviewer's said. Turn the water supply off. And then activate the water dispenser to relieve any water pressure. Which isn't much. The marking for the unlock and the fact the end plate on the filter is square sort of makes one believe that it only needs to be turned counter clockwise 90° to remove and install. However I seemed to need to turn it a little beyond to get the old off and the new in. But I only had turn it a little more than a ¼ turn to line up the marks. It does require that you push some as you turn. But don't push too hard. Just enough to make sure the small end with the o-rings gets started into the fitting. My big gripe and fail for Samsung is that their multi-language instruction sheet is the type that gives you one line of instructions in all the possible languages on that same section of the page. Then you have to flip to the next fold to find the next instruction. It'd be much more concise and easier to review the instructions fully if all the instructions of the same language were contiguous and in their own section. And I had to search for the final set of instructions. Which was simply to run the water for 6 minutes to get all the air out.

These filters don't last as long as Samsung say, 3.5 months tops and they are expensive compared to other brands of fridges
