If you own a Samsung fridge, you know how important it is to replace the water filter regularly. The filter helps remove contaminants and impurities from your drinking water, ensuring its quality and taste. But how do you know when to change the filter? And how do you reset the filter indicator light after replacing it?
In this blog post, we’ll answer these questions and more. We’ll show you how to reset the filter on a Samsung fridge in a few simple steps, depending on your model and control panel type. We’ll also give you some tips on how to maintain your fridge filter and avoid common problems. Let’s get started!
To reset the filter on a Samsung fridge, locate the “filter reset” button on the control panel and press and hold it for about 3 seconds. The light will change color or turn off to indicate that the filter has been reset. Alternatively, you can unplug the fridge for 10 minutes to do a manual hard reset.
The filter light on your Samsung fridge is a helpful reminder that tells you when to change the water filter. Depending on your model, the light may be red, orange, yellow or green. The color indicates how much life is left in the filter, as follows:
