Samsung RS261MDRS Water Filter Replacement

Introduction

Go to step 1 ↓

This guide will show you how to locate, remove, and replace the water filter in the Samsung RS261MDBP refrigerator. Replacing the filter regularly helps keep your water clean and ensures proper flow.

The steps will walk you through opening the filter housing, removing the old filter, and installing a new one. No special tools are required.

Before starting, have a replacement filter ready and place a towel underneath the filter area to catch any small amount of water that may spill.

What you need

      • Place a towel directly under the filter. This prevents water from spilling onto the fridge surface.

      • Only a little bit of water spills out but a towel prevents you from needing to clean later on.
