Based on the user manual pages (specifically pages 62-63), here are the steps to change the water filter for your Samsung Refrigerator (model RF23BB89008M or similar applicable models):
- Shut off the water supply line. This is a crucial safety step before starting the replacement.
- Open the filter cartridge cover.
- Turn the knob of the filter cartridge counter clockwise 90 degrees (1/4 turn). The filter cartridge will unlock.
- Pull out the filter cartridge to remove it. (Note: If the filter is heavily contaminated, it might be difficult to remove. If so, use force. To prevent water leaks, pull the cartridge straight out while removing it).
- Insert a new filter cartridge. Use only Samsung-provided or approved filters.
- Turn the cartridge knob clockwise to lock it into place.
- Close the filter cartridge cover.
- Reset the filter reminder: On the refrigerator’s Home screen, tap Fridge Manager > Fridge Settings > Water Filter, and then select Reset.
- Flush the water line: After replacing the filter, open the water valve (that you closed in step 1) and run water through the dispenser for about 7 minutes. This helps remove impurities and air from the water line. (Note: A newly installed filter may cause the water dispenser to spurt water briefly due to air. The dispenser may also drip for a short time after replacement).
The manual indicates that the “Replace water filter” message will appear on the control panel to remind you when’s time to change the filter.
Remember the warning: Do not use third-party water filters. Use only Samsung-provided or approved filters, as unapproved ones may leak and damage the refrigerator.
