Product review (4 stars): Don't give up!  Trimming works a miracle
Like all the other reviews bemoaning the inability to install this version, I also discovered on my first attempt to install it, that this new version simply would not fit our Samsung RFG297AARS/XAA out of the box. DO NOT ATTEMPT to force it to fit.  You MUST trim the locking rib on the filter as documented in other reviews.  A utility knife works fine and if properly done, allows the filter to fit just like the original design.

It is mind-boggling that Samsung would call this redesign as backwards compatible - not unless it shipped with a utility knife and picture instructions! On the other hand, this is the same company that made exploding phones so they certainly are not in line for the 2016 Capt. Obvious Award!  LOL
