Oh my gosh I am so glad I came to this page. We had to change our filter 2/3 days ago bought Samsung at lowes installed following all directions still no water. Took filter back to lowes for exchange thinking it was faulty put in new filter still no water!! For days we talked to SAMSUNG CS had email from Samsung CS still
no water. OK today I went searching found this page thank you all so much. We put filter in bucket of water to let fill up til no bubbles, while my husband inserted filter,removed filter and repeated I held down the water dispenser closed door and we had water.
