What the DA97-08006C is actually certified to remove
No NSF claim stated in our evidence file for this part number — check the NSF certified-product listing before relying on any claim. Honest framing for buyers: compatibles split into 42-only (taste, chlorine, sediment) and 42+53 (adds tested lead and cyst reduction) — that second tier is the one worth paying for. A claim is a part-number × version fact, and NSF listings move with annual re-tests — verify in the certified-product database before you rely on one. And note the PFOA/PFOS reduction claim sits under NSF/ANSI 53 (P473 protocol), never under 401, whatever a listing says.
Is the DA97-08006C the same as the DA97-17376B?
Yes — two factory numbers for one cartridge. Samsung listed both across plate revisions of the same side-by-side and French-door models; a listing for either number seats the same twist-in housing.
Is the DA97-08006C the same as the HAF-QIN?
Yes, the HAF-QIN and HAF-QIN/EXP are the accessory-line brandings of this same cartridge — three names, one filter. Buy on price and stated claims.
Does the DA97-08006C have a chip?
No. Samsung refrigerator cartridges do not pair electronically; the quarter-turn housing is purely mechanical.
How do I change a DA97-08006C filter?
A 2 minutes twist job: quarter-turn the old cartridge counterclockwise and pull it out, seat the new one, turn it clockwise to the stop, flush 1–2 gallons, then hold the filter reset for about 3 seconds.
