Water Filter for the Samsung RFC-P02 (DA29-00003G)

RFC-P02 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. This is a push-style bay, the simplest geometry there is: swap time is measured in minutes because the bay asks exactly two things: pull straight, push straight.

Two quirks worth knowing before you order: carbon fines in the first pours are normal for a fresh bed, and the filter timer only restarts when you hold the reset. RF is not a trim code, it is a chassis statement: it places the machine in Samsung’s French-door multi-door family, which pins down the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. Read the 02 ending as a revision marker — Samsung used it for running changes, none of which touched the DA2900003G bay.

RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you

The RF/RS pair divides this family by layout — The door count differs — French-door multi-door against side-by-side — but the bay and the cartridge order do not. What pins the parts choice down is the media line: the DA2900003G cartridge family is what every fit listing for this chassis resolves to, OEM and certified alternative alike.

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.
