Samsung Electronics HAFCIN Samsung DA29-00020B Refrigerator Water Filter, 3 Pack, White, 3 Count & Aprilaire - 213 A1 213 Replacement Air Filter, MERV 13 (Pack of 1)

I bought this 2 pack of water filters to replace my old one. Samsung site is pretty pricey for all their replacement parts and filters. Found these and about 20.00 dollars cheaper. package arrived and was as pictured on Amazon. The process of removing and replacing the filter is just the same, unscrew the filter, mark the new filter with month sticker in the proper place, screw the filter back in and use a 1 gallon jug, cut the top of a bit leaving the handle for holding then flush the filter with at least 3 gallons of water. I go the extreme and flush 5 gallons from my in-door water dispenser. Note on this Samsung refrigerator only 1/2 gallon comes out before stopping. so pull out the jug and then back in again to finish each gallon. happy as a clam and have one more filter for the next 6 month replacement cycle.

So thankful to have found filters for our Samsung refrigerator that don't cost an arm and a leg. We bought our house with this refrigerator already in it but the filter was bad, we replace it with one we bought at our local home improvement store but just that one filter cost around $80. 6 months later we were ready for a replacement and found this 3 pack for the same price as the single one we had previously purchased. The old filter and these are exactly the same and have been working well!

This filter is pretty expensive compared to others on the market for my Samsung fridge so it's hard to know if the cheaper versions work just as well, but it seems well-made and comes with comprehensive installation instructions.

Samsung products needed for Samsung merchandise. Price needs to be adjusted down.

Nothing special, it gets the job done. Good reliable product.

The filter seems to work well. Be sure to turn off the water supply when changing filters or it may be very difficult to loosen.

For the past year I have had problems with Samsung refrigerator water filters. I have used Amazon subscription service to provide a new filter every six months. Last year one of the replacement filters had very slow flow and eventually stopped working. I returned that one to Amazon and bought another Samsung filter locally. That filter also had slow flow and then stopped working like the filter was clogged. The replacement filter arrived from Amazon and it worked fine. In December I received my semiannual filter delivery, and just installed it today. Started off with a slow flow and the flow began to slow down even more. Removed the filter and reinstalled it to see if that would help, but it did not. At that point I compared the filter that had worked for six months and the new filter. I also checked the reviews and found others had the same problem. One review said Samsung had changed the filters and the new ones would not work because the hole in the filter was smaller. Pictures taken for this review show both holes are 4mm. However, if you look at the picture of both filters, and the individual pictures you will see that the older filter has a larger center section around the hole and has four support points stabilizing that section. The newer filter has the smaller center section, but does not have the four supports equally spaced around the center section. Instead there appears to be plastic slotted piece surrounding and supporting the center section. Whether that slotted section is where the water enters or leaves it would greatly hamper the flow of water as it covers roughly one half (50%) of the opening. My Samsung refrigerator is just over six years old the the new redesign of the water filter does not work properly in my fridge and apparently numerous other old fridges. At $40.00 apiece and mostly new design filters on the market, do not order additional Samsung filters until Samsung fixes the problem. Generic brand filters may be your only choice other than leaving the filters out altogether. Really expect better from Samsung. Amazon has been great exchanging one filter but I have two more newer filters that don’t work. If you do purchase this filter for a Samsung fridge check the code on the upper right of the label on the filter. You can do this before you break the sealed wrapper, and if the code looks like the dot matrix B0381 that is the older filter. The stamped on EG22 is on the new filter. The code number may change but the formatting should be the same. Hope this helps some of you are having the same kind of problems and remember the filters are not clogging up, the newer design just doesn’t work. Finally, my fridge is a Samsung RF26J7500SR, 26 cubic foot three door fridge.UPDATE: After more than two hours on the phone with Samsung Customer service, a person in their E-Commerce Department, confirmed that last year Samsung changed the design of this model filter. The individual I spoke did not know the reason for the change in design but these are usually cost cutting decisions since the model number remained the same. All genuine Samsung filters have a small label on the back that has a pull-off strip that when placed on a magnet reveals a series of green stripes. That same label has a QR Scan code that will verify the serial number on that label as a genuine Samsung filter. There is no solution for the filter problem for my model fridge or other older model fridges that use this filter and are having problems. Newer Samsung fridges that use this filter apparently can handle the lower water pressure coming through the filter. A tech in their parts and service department said it was probably to help control the splashing that occurs when you replace a filter. Hope this helps.

This product is a commodity so that pricing is important. We bought it last year for $28 and paid $39 for it this year. It's a water filter - what else is there to say for it.

Fast delivery and genuine quality product. Fits the Samsung RF56J9040SR fridge freezer model. Turn of the water supply to the fridge, drain off using a cup the surplus water, then turn the filter found on the above model counter clockwise, and pull out. (Its a little hard to pull out). Replace and turn clockwise. Reset the red filer light on the front display by pushing for 3 sec the reset/crushed Ice button. Red light goes out. Job done for another 6 months.

I was actually asked to review this product before it arrived! Now that it has arrived and been installed can I review it? Not really as I do not have the skill or equipment to test the water to see if it is indeed filtering out all the horrid chemicals that it claims to. I guess I'll have to take it on faith. One problem I do have is that i could find no instructions as to how to dispose of it when the time comes, or indeed the one it is replacing. Is it recyclable?

Genuine water filter available at a good price. Perfect fit and same as the one that came with the refrigerator. I don't know why some people have given negative views to the seller. If people can't order the right fit, it is not seller's fault.Water pressure is same as before, tastes same as before. Why not buy from this seller at a price half than Samsung is selling for. Highly recommended. Read your model number so you have the right product.

This was the first time I had bought a replacement filter for my Samsung french style Fridge freezer. I was horrified by some of the prices I saw but found this. Has Samsung name, and I changed it no problem. No leaks and is working fine. Arrived within promised time. Will buy again.

I have had a few of these and they have been fine, I stick with genuine filters assuming that they are better quality but this one turned the water really gritty making the water crunch in your teeth as you drink. I tried to live with it to see if it improved but it hasn't so I am going to have to replace it which isn't good at the price of them. My ice dispenser has also stopped working since I fitted this, I really hope it was just a coincidence.
