Which water filter fits Samsung RF28HMEDBSR?
Our compatibility guide associates Samsung refrigerator model RF28HMEDBSR with Samsung HAF-CIN, part DA29-00020B. This is the identifying number to compare when searching for a replacement refrigerator filter, fridge filter, or compatible cartridge.
Samsung uses multiple cartridge designs, including HAF-QIN and HAF-CIN. They are not interchangeable, so verify both the appliance model and the code printed on the installed cartridge. Do not choose a cartridge based only on refrigerator color, door arrangement, or product photography.

Open the refrigerator and locate the permanent model-and-serial label, commonly found on a side wall, ceiling, door frame, or behind a crisper drawer. Confirm that it reads RF28HMEDBSR, including the final letters and numbers.
- Use the appliance model—not the serial number.
- Compare DA29-00020B with the number on the installed cartridge.
- Open the official Samsung confirmation link before ordering.
- Stop if the old and new filter connections do not match.
How often should it be replaced?
The listed replacement interval for Samsung HAF-CIN is every 6 months or 300 gallons. Replace sooner if the refrigerator manual directs you to, the rated capacity is reached, dispenser flow drops noticeably, taste changes, or the filter indicator requests replacement.
A reset light does not renew the cartridge. Reset the indicator only after installing and flushing the correct new filter.
Installation and flushing
If the old cartridge is difficult to turn, shut off the water supply and relieve dispenser pressure before following Samsung's replacement sequence. Follow the RF28HMEDBSR owner’s manual for the exact compartment location, release method, flushing volume, and reset sequence.
Air may cause temporary sputtering during the first dispensing cycles. Continue only as directed by the manual and inspect the housing for leaks. If water continues to escape, shut off the supply and recheck the cartridge, seals, and housing.
OEM versus compatible filters
Use DA29-00020B as the reference part when comparing alternatives. A compatible cartridge should explicitly identify that OEM number and provide independent evidence for its certification claims. A similar-looking connector or a broad statement that it “fits Samsung” is not sufficient.
For the lowest-friction choice, use the manufacturer-approved filter. If considering a third-party option, confirm the exact fit, certifier listing, seller, and return policy before opening the package.
