RSH3KTRS specifics — where the filter actually lives
Finding the bay is the easy part — this chassis puts it behind the lower fresh-food trim or base grille in most side-by-side layouts, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. This is a push-style bay, the simplest geometry there is: the alignment is keyed, so it only goes in one way, and hand pressure is all the force required.
Order-day practicalities: plan on a towel for the first pull — sitting water in the line — and a five-second reset hold once the fresh cartridge is in. RS is not a trim code, it is a chassis statement: it places the machine in Samsung’s side-by-side family, which pins down the cartridge line, the reset behavior, and the service documentation worth consulting. The RS ending is a finish code — color and handle options, not mechanical ones. Every finish of this chassis takes the same cartridge.
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. The constant across every trim of this machine is the cartridge line — this chassis drinks from the DA2900003G family, one of the most cross-referenced cartridges in the Samsung catalog.
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.

RSH3KTRS filter questions
RSH3KTRS 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 RSH3KTRS owner’s manual page for filter status.
Does the Samsung RSH3KTRS need a bypass plug when the filter is out?
No bypass needed: the DA2900003G bay closes on its own, and running empty simply means the water skips filtration until you seat a new cartridge.
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 RSH3KTRS?
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.
