RFG295AAWP specifics — where the filter actually lives
The RFG295AAWP carries its water filter upper rear of the fresh-food section in most French-door builds with interior dispensers, the same estate every French-door multi-door refrigerator in this family uses. Mechanically it is a push-in bay: gravity is the only adversary, and a cupped hand under the bay solves it.
Practical notes from the install forums: a first removal that fights a set o-ring, and a status light that needs a manual hold-to-reset before it acknowledges the new cartridge. The RF prefix is the tell: RF marks the French-door multi-door line in Samsung’s catalog, so cross-referencing cartridges by chassis rather than by door style keeps you out of the wrong-parts queue. The WP 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
The catalog pairs RF with RS, and the split matters at order time: French-door multi-door on the RF side, side-by-side on the RS side — the parts catalog runs the same cartridge across both. The two digits after the letters are the cabinet size: this is a 29 cu ft refrigerator, which sets how much dispenser work the cartridge does 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.

RFG295AAWP filter questions
RFG295AAWP filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
With the new cartridge seated, press and hold the filter reset until the light clears — panel placement differs, so the RFG295AAWP manual’s filter section has the exact control for your trim.
Is a bypass plug required for the RFG295AAWP when the cartridge is removed?
No cap needed — the DA2900003G bay passes water unfiltered while empty; it does not leak, it just skips filtration.
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 DA2900003G 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 RFG295AAWP?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the DA2900003G 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.
