Product review (1 stars): Shame on Samsung
I have not had any problems ordering replacement filters for my Samsung refrigerator until now. My husband just got the double pack from Amazon and lo and behold, it didn't fit. We tried the old filter and that went in without any struggle. The new filter just wouldn't turn.

We tried the 2nd filter in the pack, thinking the first one was defective. Nope. That wouldn't go in also. I even went out to my local Best Buy to make sure I was getting an authentic Samsung product. That too wouldn't fit!  I finally turned to Amazon reviews and found out others were having similar problems and that the filter body was changed by Samsung.

Serious? Why didn't you just relabel this and give it another product number???

So what was I going to do with 3 brand new Samsung filters? If I return them, I'll probably just get the new ill-fitting filters again. I went ahead and took the advice of reviewers, only instead of cutting some of the plastic off, I took a flexible emery board to sand the corner of the notch off.

I still couldn't screw the filter in, so my husband tried, hoping the filter wouldn't blow up on him like a Samsung smartphone or washer. Well, it worked. He muscled it in place without breaking or blowing anything up.

So if you're nervous about cutting part of the filter off, try sanding it down with a nail file (the flexible paper kind). What a pain this is.
