Product review (5 stars): Samsung dispenser stopped leaking!!!!!
First off, I didn't choose this to save money.  I carefully chose this filter after reading the reviews of both the Samsung brand filter and the reviews of all of the "generic" or non-OEM filters.  Many of the reviewers who purchased the Samsung brand for years, indicated a recent design change that once installed damaged a part inside their refrigerator causing them to have to replace a part that ended up costing them $300.  Some contacted Samsung after experiencing leaks and were told that they needed to upgrade their units with parts that would make it compatible with the "new and improved" filters.  Others indicated that the Samsung fifty dollar filter only lasted two months before the "change filter" indicator light came on (wth? $600 a year for refrigerator filters? Not going to happen).  It was for those reasons that I chose this filter over the Samsung brand filter.

INSTALLATION

I didn't shut off the water, because the instructions indicated it wasn't necessary.  I turned the old filter one quarter turn counter clockwise.  I couldn't pull it out myself.  My husband had to help me and it even took him a few minutes to pull it out.  Remember to only turn it a quarter turn, turning it farther can damage parts inside your unit.  Once we got it out, we lined up the new filter by looking at the end and the inside of the fridge and sliding it straight in and giving it a quarter turn in the clockwise direction.  DO NOT OVERTURN, AS THIS CAN DAMAGE YOUR REFRIGERATOR.  Then we ran a couple of gallons of water thru the new filter.  This will flush out the new filter and get all of the air out of the lines.  Last, I held the ICE TYPE/WATER button for three seconds to reset the filter change indicator light.

NOTE:

Our water dispenser had ALWAYS DRIPPED from the day we bought our new refrigerator.  We owned it for a year before the "change filter" indicator light came on and we did this first filter change (I know, bad).  For the first time since buying our fridge, it doesn't leak!  It may be this new filter, or it may be my husbands suggestion that I move the dispenser button to the ice position after dispensing water and leave it there when not dispensing water.  Either way, the drip is gone!  So if you have a drip, give this a try.

ONE LAST (IMPORTANT) NOTE:

The water is clear and tastes clean.

FOR REFERENCE:

I have a Samsung 3 door unit, model #RF263TEAESG/AA

Now to get rid of that dent in my door!  Ugh!  I ordered a Samsung metal logo (for $2.99 from Ebay as I couldn't find it on Amazon) to cover it.  Dent doctor didn't think he could fix it.  Anyone else have dent repair luck?
