RS2622SW specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the RS2622SW, the cartridge at the base of the fresh-food compartment in most side-by-side builds — grille or lower rear, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. Mechanically the RS2622SW uses a push-in cartridge; remove and replace are mirror images — straight out, straight in, click, done.
Practical notes from the install forums: expect the first swap to take longer than the box suggests — aged o-rings grip — so budget ten minutes, not five. The RS prefix is the tell: 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 SW: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.
RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you
RS or RF: the badge difference that does (and does not) change the filter order. RS covers side-by-side, while RF covers French-door multi-door. The cartridge line is usually shared across both — order by chassis, not by door count. call it a 26 cubic feet box — which is why this cartridge works for a living rather than sitting decorative.
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.

RS2622SW filter questions
How do I reset the filter light on the Samsung RS2622SW?
The reset is a press-and-hold on the filter control with the cartridge in place; check the RS2622SW owner’s manual for where that control sits on your panel.
Running the RS2622SW with an empty filter bay — does it need a cap?
No bypass needed: the DA2900003G bay closes on its own, and running empty simply means the water skips filtration until you seat a new cartridge.
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 RS2622SW?
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.
