I bought amazon filters and had the same issue. I figured out if you hold the lock for 3 seconds, than the door alarm for 3 seconds and finally the ice maker for 3 seconds, it goes away. I just went back and held the door alarm for 3 seconds and lock for 3 seconds to make sure everything was reset. Done. Worked. BTW, you do not have to turn off the water to change the filter.

As someone who just changed this out for the first time, I'd like to add the following tips which might help someone else: 1. It's not absolutely REQUIRED to turn the water off, but if you can do so easily, I'd recommend it. It removes pressure from the system which will allow the previous filter to come out easier, and more importantly, allows the new filter to make a tight seal when you install it. 2. When you remove the old filter, it may feel like it won't come out. Some say you have to take plyers to it. I thought mine was like this at first, too. It turns out I wasn't twisting it counter clockwise enough. Once you turn it enough, it pops right out. There's no need to put extra pressure yanking it out and you might risk damaging the housing and/or breaking the plastic handle on the filter which will make removal more challenging. 3. I noticed the process introduced air into the system which caused a lot of weird noises and lots of extra dripping from the dispenser once I stopped pushing it (making a mess). Once you run a few gallons through the system, both the weird noise and the extra dripping will stop. Good luck, and enjoy crystal clear water! :)

Pull the ice bucket out and see if the ice maker has frozen. I find that if you pack too much food around the outside of the icemaker in the refrigerator it ices up the ice cube maker and it stops working. It's a pain. Hope this helps you out.

The filter has orings at the end for a water tight seal. Make sure those are not damaged. When installing push and twist to lock it in place. I typically pull the drawer out when I am done to check for a leak.

@HomeOwnerRepair

I recommend shutting the water off to the filter to reduce the possibility of water leaking out when replacing the filter. With that said, you do not have to shut the water off when replacing the water filter on your Samsung refrigerator. Just wipe up any water and check for leaks when you are finished. I am not sure what is causing the beeping noise. When the water filter needs to be replaced a red change filter sign will illuminate next to the settings panel inside of the refrigerator. Hope this helps you out. Have a great day!

It might take a little strength to turn it but it should release for you. If you haven't already for the heck of it try turning the water off then try to turn it to see if that takes any of the pressure off of it.
