RH25H5611SR/AA-0000 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The RH25H5611SR/AA-0000 carries its water filter in the fresh-food compartment, top interior zone in most top-mount layouts, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. Mechanically the RH25H5611SR/AA-0000 uses a push-in cartridge; no threading, no quarter turn, just a straight push until the latch reports in.
Field notes: the change light ignores the new cartridge until you reset it, and the first removal always takes more muscle than the manual implies. RH reads as a chassis statement rather than a trim code: it usually places the machine in the top-mount family, a strong hint at the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. The -00 tail tracks the revision ladder — each rung shares the identical DA2900020B bay.
RH vs RT — what the prefix tells you
Two prefixes, two missions: RH marks top-mount builds and RT marks top-freezer builds. Cross-checking the prefix before ordering is faster than returning the wrong cartridge. Size class 25 cubic feet — worth knowing because a full household works a cartridge harder than the rated six months assumes.
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.

RH25H5611SR/AA-0000 filter questions
Filter light reset on the Samsung RH25H5611SR/AA-0000 — how?
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 RH25H5611SR/AA-0000 owner’s manual page for filter status.
Samsung RH25H5611SR/AA-0000: bypass plug needed without a filter?
No — run it empty if you like; the DA2900020B bay needs no bypass plug, it simply passes water through untreated.
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 RH25H5611SR/AA-0000?
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.
