Water Filter for the Samsung RF266ABBP (DA29-00003G)

RF266ABBP specifics — where the filter actually lives

Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it in the fresh-food compartment, typically the upper back wall in most French-door layouts — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. It is a push-lock bay — gravity is the only adversary, and a cupped hand under the bay solves it.

The small print owners learn the hard way: keep a folded towel under the bay before you open it; the line holds a cup of water even with the valve shut. Decode the plate and the parts question answers itself: it places the machine in Samsung’s French-door multi-door family, which pins down the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. Finish letter sets like BP never alter the bay; the DA2900003G line fits the whole set.

RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you

RF versus RS is the first fork in the parts catalog: The French-door multi-door/side-by-side split tracks the RF/RS prefixes — cartridge fit follows the water path, not the label on the door. call it a 26 cubic feet box — which is why this cartridge works for a living rather than sitting decorative.

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.
