That adjustable wrench is GOLD on changing out the filter!

[@MCFIXIT]

Yes, a very helpful tip indeed!

[@aruljohn534]

Thanks to your video, I changed the filter in my Samsung fridge.

[@MCFIXIT]

So glad to hear it was helpful!

[@benjaminnunn-miller7922]

Great instructions. My new filter arrives next week, so I will see if its as easy as in your video.

[@MCFIXIT]

Good luck on your project! You can def do this!

[@tylerforry3338]

Great instructions 👍

[@MCFIXIT]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it!

[@ammer8566]

You don't need to turn the water off if you can't get to it. Changed mine without turning the water off (couldn't get the frig out of its' hole) and there was no leakage.

[@MCFIXIT]

Great job getting the job done. Thanks for adding your experience to the conversation!

Thank you for helping me. I have the same fridge.

I just switched mine out and am now having a bunch of leaking issues from the filter in the veggie bin - any idea what could have gone wrong? It's such an easy swap and I was using a Samsung replacement...

[@MCFIXIT]

Did you turn it the correct direction? Sounds like something might be wrong with the filter. Was it a multipack? If so try another one or reach out to the manufacturer!

[@jacobday1022]

@@MCFIXIT thanks, I think so - it felt pretty good going in. It was a solo pack bought from a third party but it's legit Samsung product. Maybe I'll just buy another one directly from Samsung. Cheaper than paying $200 for some guy to glance at it.

[@MCFIXIT]

That’s true. Did you get it work?

[@jacobday1022]

@@MCFIXIT yep, it was definitely just a dud

[@jeepcam2692]

I bought the after market filter on Amazon I think it doesn’t works I ran 3gallon of water is still dirty

[@MCFIXIT]

Did you return it? The ones I’ve purchased have worked great. Sounds like a bad filter!

[@DianneYunker]

I put a new one in and the light is still red. What did I do wrong?

[@MCFIXIT]

You will need to reset the filter setting on the front of the freezer. Then it will go away

[@paulrodriguez6272]

@@MCFIXIThow to do that? I see you just held the water button but I’ve been holding mine for ten minutes and nothing
