How to replace the water purifier filter for my refrigerator?
Samsung refrigerators are equipped with filters to purify water or deodorize. When the maximum usage limit is reached for each filter, a red light will appear to replace the filters. Check the instructions below to replace the water purifier filter. It is also good to check the user manual of your refrigerator for further information.

The water filter indicator light is preset to turn orange after five months or 450 gallons, and red after six months or 500 gallons.

How to replace the water purifier filter
In order to always receive clean and sanitary water or ice, it is recommended to replace the filter immediately when the filter replacement sign appears on the display panel. After replacing the filter, it is recommended to use the water after pouring out over 500ml.
