Water Filter for the Samsung RH25H5611SR (DA29-00020B)

RH25H5611SR specifics — where the filter actually lives

The filter bay on the RH25H5611SR upper back of the fresh-food cavity in most top-mount builds with a dispenser, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. It is a push-lock bay — gravity is the only adversary, and a cupped hand under the bay solves it.

Two quirks worth knowing before you order: plan on a towel for the first pull — sitting water in the line — and a five-second reset hold once the fresh cartridge is in. The RH prefix is the tell: RH generally indicates the top-mount family, so cross-referencing cartridges by chassis rather than by door style usually keeps you out of the wrong-parts queue. The SR tail marks finish variants of one chassis; the filter bay is shared across the entire finish range.

RH vs RT — what the prefix tells you

Know your RH from your RT and the cartridge question halves: top-mount on the RH side, top-freezer on the RT side — the parts catalog runs the same cartridge across both. 25 cu ft of cabinet — the dispenser sees heavy traffic at that size, and heavy traffic ages cartridges faster.

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.
