Product review (5 stars): Samsung filter review
It is what the manufacturer wants you to use and it works perfectly. When we first bought the fridge from Home Depot they did not sell the Samsung brand filter so I bought their universal brand and it screwed up and we had to have the whole water and ice dispenser system replaced under Home Depot's warranty. The same thing happened to my son as he bought the same model as we did. So is it a fault of the universal filter or the Samsung fridge?
