Water Filter for the Samsung BRF425200AP-AA (DA97-17376B)

BRF425200AP/AA specifics — where the filter actually lives

On the BRF425200AP/AA, the cartridge inside the fresh-food cavity, position varying with dispenser spec, a spot that survives trim changes across the refrigerator run. This is a push-style bay, the simplest geometry there is: no threading, no quarter turn, just a straight push until the latch reports in.

Order-day practicalities: keep a folded towel under the bay before you open it; the line holds a cup of water even with the valve shut. The constant across every trim of this machine is the cartridge line — the DA9717376B line — which is why fit listings key on chassis rather than door style. The AA tail marks finish variants of one chassis; the filter bay is shared across the entire finish range.

Reading the BRF425200AP/AA model code — what the digits tell you

Cabinet class 42 cu ft — a box that size leans on the dispenser, so the six-month cartridge interval earns its keep. The model code varies with trim, but the parts logic does not: every variant of this chassis locks onto the DA9717376B line — that is the whole parts story.

Swap it in 5 minutes

• Pull the old cartridge straight out of the header — expect a small spill, not a flood.
• Align the new cartridge with the keyed slot; it only goes in one orientation.
• Push the cartridge home until the retention latch clicks.
• Run two gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then hold the filter-reset control until the status light clears.
