Waterdrop DA97-17376B Refrigerator Water Filter, Compatible with Samsung® HAF-Qin/EXP, DA97-17376B, HAF-Qin, DA97-08006C, Pack of 2

I live in a hard water area and usually have to descale my kettle once per week, I only use fridge water in it. Since using this filter in my fridge I’ve not had to descale my kettle once per month. I think this filters out more than the Samsung ones do. I’m more than happy with them and I’m about to reorder some now. Half the price of the original, works better and you get two! Amazing and definitely recommended.

Filters arrived very fast even to Ireland, perfect fit to the fridge, no leakage or issues when installing, very easy. Water tastes great, similar to Samsung filter so very good value for money.

Works fine and is significantly cheaper than Samsung ones. No issues to report

This appears to be a pretty good replacement for the Samsung OEM filter cartridge. Whilst the overall length is the same as the Samsung, as you can see from the photos the "body" which contains the media is not quite the same length (slightly shorter) as the Samsung but it is very close. However, they appear to be the same size other than that. Fitting is very straight forward. MAKE SURE YOU TURN THE WATER OFF TO THE FRIDGE AND DE-PRESSURIZE THE LINE BEFORE REMOVING THE OLD FILTER. If you don't you could damage the seals and end up with a leak!! To fit new filter: 1. Turn the water off before it goes into the fridge via the isolation valve (which should have fitted); 2. Place a cup or glass under the water dispenser in the fridge and fill the cup/glass until the water flow stops; 3. Once water stops flowing. the line and filter are de-pressurized and you can then remove the old filter; To do this, twist the filter (anticlockwise in my case) holding the little handle and gently pull towards you. I found that it need to be rotated around about 180 degrees to be removed. 4. Fit new filter; 5. Turn water back on; 6. Check for leaks!! 7. Place cup/glass under water dispenser and purge (get the air out) of the line. The water will spit as the air is purged out; 8. Then, run approx. 8 pitchers of water through before use. This is the recommendation from manufacturer; 9 CHECK FOR LEAKS!!! 10. Reset the filter monitor if you fridge has one or use the date stickers provided to remind you when to change the filter. I can't comment on longevity as I have only just replaced it but will update this review if the replacement filter doesn't last for 6 months. The final point is that this filter does appear to do what it claims as the filtered water does have a noticeably better taste than tap water.

Perfect alternative

Great!

Perfect and price competitive

Perfect for my Samsung American fridge freezer and but not as expensive as original brand 😊

Snel geleverd en is een prima alternatief voor het veel te dure origineel!

Fits perfectly, doesn't leak and is as easy to install as original.

Fast shipping at a great price. Perfect replacement filter. Easy to replace. Water and ice from my fridge taste great.

Si tienes un frigo samsung, que tenga este filtro especificado, va perfecto.

Todo muy bien
