Water Filter for the Samsung RH29H9000SR (DA29-00020B)

RH29H9000SR specifics — where the filter actually lives

Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it inside the fresh-food compartment — upper interior in most top-mount layouts — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. It is a push-lock bay — no threading, no quarter turn, just a straight push until the latch reports in.

Practical notes from the install forums: run the first gallon or two through a fresh cartridge before drinking — carbon fines are normal — and reset the indicator so the countdown matches reality. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: count on RH to place this unit among top-mount builds; that placement carries the water-path geometry with it. Trailing letters like SR denote trim and finish: stainless, panel-ready, handle variants. The water path is identical across them.

RH vs RT — what the prefix tells you

Two prefixes, two missions: top-mount versus top-freezer. Both generations draw from the same cartridge pool, so the prefix is a fit-check, not a barrier. 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.
