RS2644SW specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the RS2644SW, the cartridge at the base of the fresh-food compartment in most side-by-side builds — grille or lower rear, a spot that survives trim changes across the RS run. Mechanically the RS2644SW uses a push-in cartridge; remove and replace are mirror images — straight out, straight in, click, done.
Order-day practicalities: a first removal that fights a set o-ring, and a status light that needs a manual hold-to-reset before it acknowledges the new cartridge. The RS in RS2644SW is doing real work: RS machines come from the side-by-side program, and Samsung’s parts system rewards you for knowing it: one cartridge family covers the run. Trailing letters like SW denote trim and finish: stainless, panel-ready, handle variants. The water path is identical across them.
RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you
Two prefixes, two missions: Ordering by prefix works because RS means side-by-side and RF means French-door multi-door in this catalog — and the cartridge pool overlaps both. cabinet class 26 cu ft — a box that size leans on the dispenser, so the six-month cartridge interval earns its keep.
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.

RS2644SW filter questions
Clearing the filter status light on a Samsung RS2644SW?
The reset is a press-and-hold on the filter control with the cartridge in place; check the RS2644SW owner’s manual for where that control sits on your panel.
Will the Samsung RS2644SW dispense water without a filter cartridge?
Nothing to buy — the DA2900003G housing closes without a cartridge; water runs unfiltered until the next one goes in.
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 RS2644SW?
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.
