Review on Samsung Genuine DA29-00003G Refrigerator Water Filter - Reliable 1 Pack (Packaging may vary) by Steve Washington

Revainrating 1 out of 5

More Filter Confusion

I've bought the same filter 5 times (at least that's what Revane helpfully told me). My problem seems to be the opposite of most people's. I usually get a 3 tooth filter option. I got the 2 tooth option on my last purchase. With the two-pronged version, the horizontal part is significantly thicker, so the filter cannot be pushed all the way into the housing, let alone rotated. I used my dremel to shave off about 2mm and it was finally able to get in. Samsung seems to change the two and three prong options regularly and it's impossible to know what you can get and if it will fit. your refrigerator. To update. I contacted Samsung and was told the following: The design change was necessary to make the device work better. The refrigerator needs servicing to replace the water filter compartment. Based on the model and serial number information, the device is not covered under warranty. Yes, you read it right. Samsung redesigned the "stock" filter, kept the same part number and now wants me to pay for a new filter box.

Pros
  • Excellent Overall
Cons
  • Fine
