RFG298HDWP specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the RFG298HDWP upper rear of the fresh-food section in most French-door builds with interior dispensers, a spot that survives trim changes across the RF run. Mechanically the RFG298HDWP uses a push-in cartridge; no threading, no quarter turn, just a straight push until the latch reports in.
The recurring owner notes: the change light ignores the new cartridge until you reset it, and the first removal always takes more muscle than the manual implies. RF is not a trim code, it is a chassis statement: 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. That WP suffix is trim-level shorthand. Samsung kept the DA2900020B bay common to every finish in the line.
RF vs RS — what the prefix tells you
RF versus RS is the first fork in the parts catalog: 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. read the code as 29 cubic feet of capacity, which tells you the cartridge’s real workload 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.

RFG298HDWP filter questions
How to reset the water filter indicator: Samsung RFG298HDWP?
Seat the new cartridge first, then hold the filter-reset control for a few seconds until the status light clears — the exact button placement varies by control panel, so check the RFG298HDWP owner’s manual page for filter status.
Samsung RFG298HDWP: bypass plug needed without a filter?
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 RFG298HDWP?
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.
