The Filter light turns red to let you know when it is time to change your water filter cartridge. To give you time to get a new filter the red light comes on just before the capacity of the current filter runs out. Follow these steps to change the water filter.
When you pull the water filter a little water can leak from the opening. This is normal. To minimize the water leaks keep the filter cartridge horizontal when you pull it. To prevent overflow empty the water tray filter (3) and dry around of case filter (2).
Samsung refrigerators also come with a filter warning system that will alert you when the filter needs changing. When a replacement filter is needed, your filter indicator will turn red and an alarm will sound.
Shut off the water supply valve if the water pressure is too great. The locked symbol should be lined up with the indicator line.
