Product review (1 stars): Samsung products are the worst!
I can only guess the poor quality of these replacement filters is by design, forcing the customer to buy them several times per year.  In general, all of my Samsung appliances are garbage.  These are the worst appliances I have ever owned, but back to the filter....  After a few months the water stops coming out of the dispenser, we have even had a repairman here to look at it and his answer was the filter needed changing. I have had to replace one in February 2016, May 2016, August 2016 and now as I am typing this review in October 2016, the water does not dispense.  Of course, when I remove the filter, the water dispenses perfectly fine  The only filter that has lasted longer than a few months was the original filter it came with.
