Water Filter for the Samsung TADA29-000038 (DA29-00003G)

TADA29-000038 specifics — where the filter actually lives

The filter bay on the TADA29-000038 in the fresh-food compartment, placement dependent on the dispenser package, a deliberate placement that keeps the swap away from the door seals and drawer rails. It is a push-lock bay — the cartridge slides onto the header and latches — no tools, no housing removal, five minutes.

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. Under the cabinet differences one thing holds: the DA2900003G line — which is why fit listings key on chassis rather than door style. Revision 38 changed trim details, not the water circuit; order with confidence by model stem.

Reading the TADA29-000038 model code — what the digits tell you

The 29 cu ft in the code is the size class; households that size move enough water that the six-month interval is worth honoring. The trim walk never reaches the plumbing: whatever the door count, the cartridge answer for this chassis is the DA2900003G family.

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.
