Water Filter for the Samsung RS267TDRS (DA29-00020B)

RS267TDRS specifics — where the filter actually lives

Where the filter actually lives: low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts, 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: seat the cartridge square to the header until it clicks, and the retention clips do the rest.

Before you click buy, two things: expect the first swap to take longer than the box suggests — aged o-rings grip — so budget ten minutes, not five. The badge reads RS267TDRS, but the chassis reads RS: RS marks the side-by-side line in Samsung’s catalog, so cross-referencing cartridges by chassis rather than by door style keeps you out of the wrong-parts queue. Trailing letters like RS 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: The side-by-side/French-door multi-door split tracks the RS/RF prefixes — cartridge fit follows the water path, not the label on the door. the 26 cubic feet in the code is the size class; households that size move enough water that the six-month interval is worth honoring.

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.
