How to reset the filter light on a Samsung refrigerator (steps)

This article will teach you how to reset the Samsung fridge water filter light and explains the procedure to follow when it won’t go off even after you’re done with the Samsung fridge water filter replacement process.

How to reset the filter light on a Samsung refrigerator (steps to follow on different models)

With most Samsung refrigerators, you need to hold down the FILTER RESET button for about seconds to get the red filter icon to turn off.

Be sure to consult your owners’ manual if you can’t trace the FILTER RESET button on your refrigerator – it is traditionally on the dispenser controls (on the front of your refrigerator).

However, on other models, you must press and hold down either the “WATER FILTER” button or “ICE/WATER” button -for 3 seconds.

Now, since the Samsung fridge water filter reset procedure is not the same for every model, below we highlight the correct Samsung refrigerator reset filter light steps for different models (typical steps).

Other steps worth trying if reset light indicator won’t go out

In a nutshell, you can as well try the following if installing a new filter did not make the red light turn off:

· Check if the buttons are locked

Be sure the buttons are actually “unlocked” or the listed Samsung refrigerator filter reset procedure will not work.

You can again consult your manual book for the steps on how to unlock the controls, if needed.

· Check the filter seating

The filter alarm light may still be blinking because the newly installed filter is seated improperly. Open the door, inspect the fitting, and fit it perfectly.

· Check if the correct filter was installed

The light notification may not also clear if you did not install a genuine product so you may want to swap the replacement filter (as a last resort).

Final words
