RS2630SH specifics — where the filter actually lives
Where the filter actually lives: bottom of the fresh-food column or at the grille line in most side-by-side builds, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. This is a push-style bay, the simplest geometry there is: pull the old cartridge straight out, push the new one home until it latches, and you are done.
Field notes: flush before the first glass — new carbon beds shed fines for the first gallon or so, which is cosmetic, not contamination. One prefix, one chassis family: Samsung built these as side-by-side machines, and the filter bay inherits the geometry that implies, including where the dispenser feed runs. Finish codes such as SH change the look, not the plumbing — order the cartridge by model, ignore the finish letter.
RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you
Catalog shorthand: 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.

RS2630SH filter questions
Clearing the filter status light on a Samsung RS2630SH?
Lock in the new cartridge first, then hold the reset control for a few seconds — the RS2630SH manual documents the button for each panel variant.
Can I run the Samsung RS2630SH with no cartridge installed?
The bay self-seals: with no cartridge the RS2630SH still dispenses, just unfiltered. No bypass plug exists for this line.
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 RS2630SH?
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.
