Water Filter for the Samsung RS2630AWW (DA29-00003G)

RS2630AWW specifics — where the filter actually lives

The RS2630AWW carries its water filter low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. The seat is a push-fit design: no threading, no quarter turn, just a straight push until the latch reports in.

Before you click buy, two things: the reset control is the step everyone skips; the light will not acknowledge a new cartridge on its own. The badge reads RS2630AWW, but the chassis reads RS: 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. Trim code WW: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.

RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you

The RS/RF pair divides this family by layout — side-by-side against French-door multi-door, respectively. Filter bays rarely care — the media family carries over more often than not. read the code as 26 cu ft of capacity, which tells you the cartridge’s real workload 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.
