RS277ACBP specifics — where the filter actually lives
Where the filter actually lives: bottom of the fresh-food column or at the grille line in most side-by-side builds, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. It is a push-lock bay — swap time is measured in minutes because the bay asks exactly two things: pull straight, push straight.
The small print owners learn the hard way: run the first gallon or two through a fresh cartridge before drinking — carbon fines are normal — and reset the indicator so the countdown matches reality. Decode the plate and the parts question answers itself: 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. That BP suffix is trim-level shorthand. Samsung kept the DA2900003G bay common to every finish in the line.
RS vs RF — what the prefix tells you
The catalog pairs RS with RF, and the split matters at order time: RS machines are side-by-side; RF machines are French-door multi-door. Both draw from the same cartridge line, which is why fit charts list them together. read the code as 27 cubic feet of capacity, which tells you the cartridge’s real workload 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.

RS277ACBP filter questions
Samsung RS277ACBP: how do I clear the change-filter light?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after the swap; the status light clears only with a seated cartridge, and the RS277ACBP manual maps the control by panel type.
Does the Samsung RS277ACBP 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 RS277ACBP?
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.
