Water Filter for the Samsung RF267AARS (DA29-00003G)

RF267AARS specifics — where the filter actually lives

Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it high on the fresh-food side in most French-door layouts — upper back or left wall, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. The seat is a push-fit design: the alignment is keyed, so it only goes in one way, and hand pressure is all the force required.

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. RF is not a trim code, it is a chassis statement: the RF run is Samsung’s French-door multi-door series; across the run, the filter bay is one of the constants. The RS tail marks finish variants of one chassis; the filter bay is shared across the entire finish range.

RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you

Two prefixes, two missions: French-door multi-door versus side-by-side. Both generations draw from the same cartridge pool, so the prefix is a fit-check, not a barrier. read the code as 26 cu ft of capacity, which tells you the cartridge’s real workload between changes.

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.
