RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA specifics — where the filter actually lives
Where the filter actually lives: in the fresh-food compartment, typically the upper back wall in most French-door layouts, the same estate every French-door multi-door refrigerator in this family uses. Mechanically it is a push-in bay: the alignment is keyed, so it only goes in one way, and hand pressure is all the force required.
The small print owners learn the hard way: a stubborn first twist when the old o-ring has set, and a change-filter light that will not clear itself until you hold the reset. The RF in RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA is doing real work: Samsung built these as French-door multi-door machines, and the filter bay inherits the geometry that implies, including where the dispenser feed runs. Finish letter sets like AA never alter the bay; the DA9717376B line fits the whole set.
RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you
The RF prefix sits next to RS in the catalog and the split is cabinet mission: RF answers to French-door multi-door; RS answers to side-by-side; the water-filter answer is shared. Size class 23 cubic feet — worth knowing because a full household works a cartridge harder than the rated six months assumes.
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.

RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA filter questions
Filter light reset on the Samsung RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA — how?
Press and hold the reset control until the light clears (a few seconds), with the new cartridge already seated — the RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA owner’s manual lists the button location for your control panel.
Running the RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA with an empty filter bay — does it need a cap?
Nothing to buy — the DA9717376B housing closes without a cartridge; water runs unfiltered until the next one goes in.
Are off-brand filters safe for a Samsung refrigerator?
Certified aftermarket cartridges are built to the same NSF test standards as the OEM part, and federal warranty law (Magnuson-Moss) protects your coverage when you use them.
Why is the OEM DA9717376B cartridge so much more expensive?
Part of the OEM price is the badge and the distribution chain. Certified alternatives meet the same test standards at a lower unit price, especially in multi-packs.
How often should I replace the filter in my RF23M8590SR-RF23M8590SR/AA?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the DA9717376B class cartridges all share that service interval.
Do I need to turn off the water supply to change it?
No — the bay is designed for a live swap. Expect a small dribble, keep a towel in reach, and flush a couple of gallons through the new cartridge before the first glass.
