Water Filter for the Samsung RS2623BB (DA29-00003G)

RS2623BB specifics — where the filter actually lives

The RS2623BB carries its water filter bottom of the fresh-food column or at the grille line in most side-by-side builds, a spot that survives trim changes across the RS run. Mechanically the RS2623BB uses a push-in cartridge; pull the old cartridge straight out, push the new one home until it latches, and you are done.

Two quirks worth knowing before you order: 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: 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. That BB suffix is trim-level shorthand. Samsung kept the DA2900003G bay common to every finish in the line.

RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you

The RS prefix sits next to RF in the catalog and the split is cabinet mission: 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. Cabinet decode: 26 cu ft — the number that tells you whether this cartridge feeds a family-size dispenser or a compact one.

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.
