Water Filter for the Samsung RS25H5111BC (DA29-00020B)

RS25H5111BC specifics — where the filter actually lives

The RS25H5111BC carries its water filter low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. The seat is a push-fit design: gravity is the only adversary, and a cupped hand under the bay solves it.

Owners of the RS25H5111BC report the same friction points: the change light ignores the new cartridge until you reset it, and the first removal always takes more muscle than the manual implies. The RS in RS25H5111BC is doing real work: RS marks the side-by-side line in Samsung’s catalog, so cross-referencing cartridges by chassis rather than by door style keeps you out of the wrong-parts queue. Trim code BC: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.

RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you

The catalog pairs RS with RF, and the split matters at order time: RS marks side-by-side builds and RF marks French-door multi-door builds. Cross-checking the prefix before ordering is faster than returning the wrong cartridge. capacity 25 cubic feet: a mid-to-full-size cabinet whose dispenser traffic sets the realistic change cadence.

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.
