RS269LARS specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the RS269LARS 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. The seat is a push-fit design: swap time is measured in minutes because the bay asks exactly two things: pull straight, push straight.
Practical notes from the install forums: keep a folded towel under the bay before you open it; the line holds a cup of water even with the valve shut. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: Samsung uses it across the side-by-side range, which means shared cartridge economics — one media family, dozens of cabinet variants, all drinking from the same parts catalog. The RS tail marks finish variants of one chassis; the filter bay is shared across the entire finish range.
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. call it a 26 cu ft 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.

RS269LARS filter questions
RS269LARS filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
Seat the new cartridge first, then hold the filter-reset control for a few seconds until the status light clears — the exact button placement varies by control panel, so check the RS269LARS owner’s manual page for filter status.
Does the Samsung RS269LARS need a bypass plug when the filter is out?
You can, but unfiltered — the DA2900003G bay needs no bypass plug; it just passes water through without filtering while the cartridge is out.
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 RS269LARS?
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.
