Samsung Refrigerator Leaking after Filter Change – Quick Fix
Check for air in the water filter if it is leaking after a filter change. Dispense about 15 glasses of water to remove the air from the filter.
If the leaking continues after this, remove the filter and dispense a gallon of water. However, if the leaking stops, you know that the problem was caused by the water filter having air in it.
Connecting the water filter to the water supply line improperly can cause a leak if the refrigerator has a filtering system. Therefore, check to see if the water filter is the right size for the refrigerator and the right type for the model. Additionally, check to see that it is installed properly.
Furthermore, check for any damage to the filter, especially at the head. If it is cracked, it is going to easily leak water.
