How to replace the water filter in a Samsung refrigerator

Follow these simple steps to replace your water filter, which should take just a few minutes:

HAF-CIN and HAF-QIN filter types:

1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Locate the filter, open the cover, and rotate the old filter counterclockwise to unlock and remove it.
3. Remove the protection cap from the new filter, insert it into the housing, and turn clockwise until locked into place. Align the lock symbol with the indicator line.

HAFCU1 filter types:

1. Turn off the water supply.
2. Locate the filter and twist it left to unlock and remove.
   
3. Insert the new filter into the housing and twist right to secure it. Align the notch with the arrow on the housing.
   
4. After installation, dispense several gallons of water to clear out any impurities or air. When finished, reset the water filter indicator light on your fridge.

The indicator light functions on a six-month timer, signaling when it's time for a filter change. If the water dispensing speed changes significantly with and without the filter, consider replacing it regardless of the light's status. Here's how to reset the indicator based on your refrigerator model:

• Standard models: Find the Filter Reset button on the control panel. Press and hold for three seconds.

• Family Hub models: Go to Apps, then tap Fridge Manager, and then Fridge Settings. Select Water Filter and then tap Reset.

• Models with arrow buttons: Use arrows to navigate to More Options and then tap Filter Reset.

• Specific models (RF4289 and RSG309): Navigate to and open Settings, then tap Water Filter. Now hold Reset until the status changes.
