Water Filter for the Samsung RH25H5611BC (DA29-00020B)

RH25H5611BC specifics — where the filter actually lives

The filter bay on the RH25H5611BC inside the fresh-food compartment — upper interior in most top-mount layouts, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. Mechanically it is a push-in bay: seat the cartridge square to the header until it clicks, and the retention clips do the rest.

Before you click buy, two things: expect the first swap to take longer than the box suggests — aged o-rings grip — so budget ten minutes, not five. One prefix, one chassis family: the RH tag is how the catalog sorts top-mount machines — carry it into any fit checker and the right cartridge line follows. Finish codes such as BC change the look, not the plumbing — order the cartridge by model, ignore the finish letter.

RH vs RT — what the prefix tells you

The RH prefix sits next to RT in the catalog and the split is cabinet mission: split by cabinet mission (top-mount versus top-freezer), joined by cartridge line — that is the RH/RT story. the 25 cu ft in the code is the size class; households that size move enough water that the six-month interval is worth honoring.

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.
