Samsung refrigerators have filter light indications, which notify the user when the water filter should be replaced. It also implies that you’ll need to reset the filter light in your Samsung fridge after changing the water filter.
In general, a water filter can be used for up to 6 months. However, depending on the type of water that goes through the waterline, it may be necessary to replace it.
Consider how quickly you would need to change your filter if the water in your region became hard. You won’t realize your filter is worn out until you notice a decrease in water pressure or the water flow from your fridge.
Also, your ice cubes may become smaller, and you may notice an unpleasant taste in the water.
Operation of the Samsung Water Filter Indicator
When the water filter is still in good condition, it displays a blue or green hue, depending on the model you have installed. The color changes to orange or light pink after 5 months or 450 gallons of water have been processed by the device. This is frequently an indication that it’s time to change your water filter system.
After 6 months or 500 gallons of water have been used, your water filter’s indicator will be red. When you see this red light, it’s time to replace your water filter. If you live in a region with high levels of limescale in the water supply, you’ll need to change your water filter more frequently than every 6 months.
