RF28K9070SG/AA-00 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the RF28K9070SG/AA-00 in the fresh-food compartment, typically the upper back wall in most French-door layouts, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. It is a push-lock bay — the alignment is keyed, so it only goes in one way, and hand pressure is all the force required.
Two quirks worth knowing before you order: run the first gallon or two through a fresh cartridge before drinking — carbon fines are normal — and reset the indicator so the countdown matches reality. The badge reads RF28K9070SG/AA-00, but the chassis reads RF: the RF run is Samsung’s French-door multi-door series; across the run, the filter bay is one of the constants. Read the 00 ending as a revision marker — Samsung used it for running changes, none of which touched the DA2900020B bay.
RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you
Two prefixes, two missions: The French-door multi-door/side-by-side split tracks the RF/RS prefixes — cartridge fit follows the water path, not the label on the door. 28 cu ft of cabinet — the dispenser sees heavy traffic at that size, and heavy traffic ages cartridges faster.
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.

RF28K9070SG/AA-00 filter questions
RF28K9070SG/AA-00 filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
Press and hold the reset control until the light clears (a few seconds), with the new cartridge already seated — the RF28K9070SG/AA-00 owner’s manual lists the button location for your control panel.
Does the Samsung RF28K9070SG/AA-00 need a bypass plug when the filter is out?
The bay self-seals: with no cartridge the RF28K9070SG/AA-00 still dispenses, just unfiltered. No bypass plug exists for this line.
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 RF28K9070SG/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.
