RS2621SW specifics — where the filter actually lives

The RS2621SW carries its water filter low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. It is a push-lock bay — remove and replace are mirror images — straight out, straight in, click, done.

Two quirks worth knowing before you order: the line is still live when you open the bay, so keep a towel in reach, and expect the filter-status light to need a reset before it believes the new cartridge. Prefix literacy pays here: it places the machine in Samsung’s side-by-side family, which pins down the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. SW is finish coding: handles, colors, panel options — none of it reaches the filter bay.

RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you

Catalog shorthand: side-by-side builds carry RS; French-door multi-door builds carry RF. Filter-wise the two lines converge on one cartridge family. The two digits after the letters are the cabinet size: this is a 26 cu ft refrigerator, which sets how much dispenser work the cartridge does 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.

RS2621SW filter questions

How do I reset the filter light on the Samsung RS2621SW?

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 RS2621SW owner’s manual page for filter status.

Will the Samsung RS2621SW dispense water without a filter cartridge?

You can, but unfiltered — the DA2900003G bay needs no bypass plug; it just passes water through without filtering while the cartridge is out.

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 DA2900003G 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 RS2621SW?

Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the DA2900003G 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.
