RS25H5111WW specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the RS25H5111WW, the cartridge in the lower fresh-food zone in most side-by-side layouts, knee height or below, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. This is a push-style bay, the simplest geometry there is: gravity is the only adversary, and a cupped hand under the bay solves it.
Field notes: expect the first swap to take longer than the box suggests — aged o-rings grip — so budget ten minutes, not five. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: RS machines come from the side-by-side program, and Samsung’s parts system rewards you for knowing it: one cartridge family covers the run. Trim code WW: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.
RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you
Prefix families here: RS against RF. side-by-side against French-door multi-door, respectively. Filter bays rarely care — the media family carries over more often than not. cabinet class 25 cu ft — a box that size leans on the dispenser, so the six-month cartridge interval earns its keep.
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.

RS25H5111WW filter questions
Clearing the filter status light on a Samsung RS25H5111WW?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after the swap; the status light clears only with a seated cartridge, and the RS25H5111WW manual maps the control by panel type.
Will the Samsung RS25H5111WW dispense water without a filter cartridge?
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 RS25H5111WW?
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.
