Water Filter for the Samsung RS263BBWP (DA29-00003G)

RS263BBWP specifics — where the filter actually lives

On the RS263BBWP, the cartridge in the lower fresh-food zone in most side-by-side layouts, knee height or below — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. This is a push-style bay, the simplest geometry there is: gravity is the only adversary, and a cupped hand under the bay solves it.

The small print owners learn the hard way: the first removal takes more force than every later one, and skipping the reset leaves a change-light glaring at a perfectly fresh cartridge. The RS in RS263BBWP is doing real work: RS is Samsung’s side-by-side designation proper, and the service literature files every one of these under the same cartridge line. Finish letter sets like WP never alter the bay; the DA2900003G line fits the whole set.

RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you

RS or RF: the badge difference that does (and does not) change the filter order. split by cabinet mission (side-by-side versus French-door multi-door), joined by cartridge line — that is the RS/RF story. capacity 26 cubic feet: a mid-to-full-size cabinet whose dispenser traffic sets the realistic change cadence.

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.
