RSC6KWRS specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the RSC6KWRS 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. Mechanically it is a push-in bay: remove and replace are mirror images — straight out, straight in, click, done.
Owners of the RSC6KWRS report the same friction points: carbon fines in the first pours are normal for a fresh bed, and the filter timer only restarts when you hold the reset. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: 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. That RS 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: side-by-side on the RS side, French-door multi-door on the RF side — the parts catalog runs the same cartridge across both. The constant across every trim of this machine is the cartridge line — the DA2900003G cartridge family is what every fit listing for this chassis resolves to, OEM and certified alternative alike.
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.

Coverage above lists what the standard addresses, not a performance claim for any specific cartridge — removal claims vary by certificate, so check the NSF listing for the exact part number you are buying.
RSC6KWRS filter questions
RSC6KWRS filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
The reset is a press-and-hold on the filter control with the cartridge in place; check the RSC6KWRS owner’s manual for where that control sits on your panel.
Samsung RSC6KWRS: bypass plug needed without a filter?
No — the DA2900003G bay seals on the cartridge itself, so removing it just means unfiltered water until the next change, not a leak.
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 RSC6KWRS?
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.
