I have a 2 year old RFG298HDRS/XAA french door refrigerator which has been running fine for most part without any issues. I replace the water filter every 6 months and always use Samsung brand filter as recommended. It's time to change filter again and I purchased a new filter. But when I put in the new filter, water from the dispenser stops dispensing. If I put back the old filter or take the filter out altogether - water comes out as usual. My first thought was that it could be a bad filter. So, went and got a 2nd filter, a 3rd filter and still the same thing. Even tried a different brand filter, but still no luck. All these filters could not be bad. Called Samsung support and they think it's a filter issue and won't help any further. However, I think it can't be a filter issue since I already tried so many new filters. Any help troubleshooting this would be appreciated. I am using the old filter for now until this is resolved.
You are not screwing the new filter in right/ it is not seating. I experienced the same problem; you need to "break the seal" on the new filter.
SOURCE: No cold water
Please rate hope this helped. If I can help further I'll standby.

The only thing between the inlet line and the spout?
Water Inlet solenoid, a valve that lets water in. Follow the inlet line to the back of frige. Unplug and turn off water before service. repace valve. EZ FIX...

If you hear a clicking sound sometimes, it is your ice maker. Replace ice maker, all you need is a short phillips screwdriver. Remove ice bucket, to the left you will see a philllips screw holding a long plastic panel going all the way to the back, remove the screw and the panel, it has clips that slilde in, unplug ice maker and push down on tab on top of ice maker and pull out

The most common reason water stops are 1. The water line has frozen, but its not the part in the freezer door. Behind the crisper bins in the fresh food section, you might not see it but it behind the back wall. Heat up that area with a hair dryer, or if its not full shut it off for 24 hours and it will do the trick. 2. The pump that sends the water to the dispencer is dead, it will be located behind the ref lower left hand side behind panel (follow the water line) part # DA74-40149D, you can order it at marcone.com for about 27.00
Good luck, if those dont work let me know

I had exactly the same problem! Tried 2 new filters, no water - put old filter back in, have water. Try running without filter, if you dispense water - your hardware is fine. I ended up turning off my water main (i can't get behind my frig) and bleed off water (turn sink on until no water). Take your old filter out - put in your new filter (will be easy cause no water pressure). Turn your main back on and check, should have water now - I did. Water pressure keeping new filter seal from seating. But anyway, this should work for this issue.
