RF28HFEDBSG/AA-00 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, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. Mechanically it is a push-in bay: pull the old cartridge straight out, push the new one home until it latches, and you are done.
Before you click buy, two things: the first removal takes more force than every later one, and skipping the reset leaves a change-light glaring at a perfectly fresh cartridge. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: Samsung uses it across the French-door multi-door range, which means shared cartridge economics — one media family, dozens of cabinet variants, all drinking from the same parts catalog. Suffix 00 = production revision; filtration hardware was not part of the revision cycle.
RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you
The catalog pairs RF with RS, and the split matters at order time: French-door multi-door against side-by-side, respectively. Filter bays rarely care — the media family carries over more often than not. the 28 cubic feet 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.

RF28HFEDBSG/AA-00 filter questions
Samsung RF28HFEDBSG/AA-00: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after the swap; the status light clears only with a seated cartridge, and the RF28HFEDBSG/AA-00 manual maps the control by panel type.
RF28HFEDBSG/AA-00 with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No — the DA2900020B bay seals on the cartridge itself, so removing it just means unfiltered water until the next change, not a leak.
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 DA2900020B 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 RF28HFEDBSG/AA-00?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the DA2900020B 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.
