Fridge freezer water filter

[Chrissy17]

Hi there, has anyone got any information regarding the water filters now not fitting on American style fridge freezers?

The last two i ordered did  not fit and you can clearly see the lock mechanism is slightly different. On one Amazon review a guy said he had to re shapen with a Stanley  knife!

Surely just afterntwo years of purchase Samsung hasn't  changed these?

@Chrissy17: I believe you're referring to HAFIN vs HAFIN2 style water filters, with the latter featuring a different connection fitting. If your fridge freezer requires a HAFIN filter then you can still use HAFIN2 filters, however you will also require the following filter housing and tubes (example below is from espares.co.uk):
