I have reverse osmosis water connected to the frig. The Filter indicator is red which I think means it should be changed. (?) With soft water that is passed through reverse osmosis I should not need a filter. Is there an insert or cap that can be placed in place of the filter? Is there a way to get the red light off or should I just ignore it?

The red warning light has to be reset manually - by pressing the Ice Type and Child Lock buttons together for 5 seconds. As for the taste, check the flow direction is correct on the filter and run a few litres of water off.

On my samsung I needed to press the ice timer and ice mode together for 3 seconds.

You have to reset the light by pressing and holding the touch pad for 3-5 seconds. It doesn't reset on its own when you replace the filter

The filter is on a schedule, and can be ignored if the quality of the water is still good. You can reset the filter by holding down two buttons at the same time. On ours, they are the "ice type" and the "child lock" buttons. This resets the alarm. Another good trick to have in your pocket is to buy and install a disposable filter behind your fridge to act as a pre-filter for your expensive Samsung filter. If your filter is really plugged, it must be replaced as stamx stated. Most home hardware stores i.e. Lowe's, Home Depot carry some, and Ebey is an excellent source at less cost. Again, on mine, the filter is located inside the fridge, on the top, right-hand side of the box. There should be a filter cover that you can install to prevent leakage while you match up the filter with a replacement, but turn off the water valve behind the fridge first, just in case. Hope this helps. If you are still having cooling troubles, please re-post and we'll start there.

Get a good connection to the cold water line, buy a good filter and run copper to the back of your refrigerator. Don't use a piercing valve. I know how you feel. Oh, put shutoff on side of filter housing that feeds the filter. Sea Breeze
