RS264ABSH/XAA specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the RS264ABSH/XAA bottom of the fresh-food column or at the grille line in most side-by-side builds, so expect to clear one shelf edge before you have working room. It is a push-lock bay — pull the old cartridge straight out, push the new one home until it latches, and you are done.
The small print owners learn the hard way: flush before the first glass — new carbon beds shed fines for the first gallon or so, which is cosmetic, not contamination. The RS prefix is the tell: RS is Samsung’s side-by-side designation proper, and the service literature files every one of these under the same cartridge line. Trim code AA: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.
RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you
Same parts shelf, two cabinet missions — 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. The two digits after the letters are the cabinet size: this is a 26 cubic feet refrigerator, which sets how much dispenser work the cartridge does 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.

RS264ABSH/XAA filter questions
Reset procedure for the change-filter alert on the RS264ABSH/XAA?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after seating the new cartridge; placements vary by control panel, and the RS264ABSH/XAA manual’s filter-status page has the exact spot.
Will the Samsung RS264ABSH/XAA 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 RS264ABSH/XAA?
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.
