After replacing the water filter in my Samsung French Door Refrigerator (RFG297HDRS) the water will not dispense. It will not dispense when I put the old water filter back in either. It will, however, dispense water with no filter inserted.
This means I can not have a broken or frozen line, right?
Is this a good question?

See my answer to this question here: Refrigerator Will not dispense water after replacing filter..
Was this answer helpful?
My situation is a little different than the referenced question/answer. My water will dispense with no filter, but not with my new or old water filter.

If you look at the water filter there are two o-rings. That's because one is for water going into the filter (the center o-ring) and the other is for the water leaving the filter (outer o-ring). That means there are two spring loaded valves in the filter housing that allow the water to flow through the filter or bypass when there is no filter. For some reason over time one of them doesn't completely open. In my case it was the water flowing out of the filter. I know this because the new filter was full of water when I pulled it back out. I learned from another online forum that you can put a bead of hot glue around both center surface (don't block the hole) and larger surface. This builds up the face of the filter and effectively allows the valves to open wider.
