RFG293HABP specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the RFG293HABP upper rear of the fresh-food section in most French-door builds with interior dispensers, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. The seat is a push-fit design: swap time is measured in minutes because the bay asks exactly two things: pull straight, push straight.
Order-day practicalities: 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 RFG293HABP is doing real work: RF machines come from the French-door multi-door program, and Samsung’s parts system rewards you for knowing it: one cartridge family covers the run. BP is finish coding: handles, colors, panel options — none of it reaches the filter bay.
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 means French-door multi-door, RS means side-by-side. For filter shopping the distinction matters less than you would think — same line, different cabinet. The digits in the model number read as cabinet capacity (29 cubic feet), a decent proxy for how hard the filter works in daily service.
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.

RFG293HABP filter questions
Samsung RFG293HABP: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Lock in the new cartridge first, then hold the reset control for a few seconds — the RFG293HABP manual documents the button for each panel variant.
Is a bypass plug required for the RFG293HABP when the cartridge is removed?
Nothing to buy — the DA2900020B 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 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 RFG293HABP?
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.
