Yes newer design compared to my last one, but fits and working fine.

Was concerned about getting this due to several reviews saying that it leaked due to design changes etc. Tried anyway, happy to say all fine and working well. Purchased August 21, 2016 so the design changes may have caught up to the problems people were having. The part that is inserted into the Samsung Refrigerator is more angled than rounded as my old one was. But at the tip that actually connects the hole was the same size as the one I took out. (Some photos I saw in reviews had the hole much smaller in the newer one.) The angled cylinder top didn't seem to make any difference. It fit fine, is working fine and not leaking.

Filter went in easy, no leaks, works great.

The filter I received fits perfectly. It went in easy and I have no leaks. Water pressure and flow are good. The O-ring thickness and position on the end of the filter are exactly the same as filters I have previously bought from Lowes. I also compared the box the filter came in with a filter box bought locally. Exactly the same on all 6 sides. Both boxes state the filter came from Mexico. I have never been able to find a filter made in South Korea. I have a shutoff water valve leading to my refrigerator so I always turn off the water and release the pressure prior to changing filters as described in the filter replacement instructions. Never had a problem.

More Confidence In The OEM Brand

The Samsung brand is probably the higher in price than others. The main thing that scares me is water damage to my home which can be very expense to repair. Of course any filter can leak, but if I have to have a filter I will go with Samsung’s OEM versus a third party. My other concern is filter quality. For the average household the filter only has to be replaced every six months so the expense will not be a big deal for peace of mind. Your mileage may vary depending on the water supply quality and amount of usage. New filter tip: See photos 6 and 7. The instructions say to run five gallons of water through the filter before using the water. To make this an easy job I connected a piece of garden hose to a funnel long enough to reach a bucket setting on the floor. The bucket is three gallons capacity so it was a no brainer to run about 1-2/3 buckets full fast.

Wonderful tasting water

The water in my Samsung refrigerator tastes wonderful after being filtered by this filter. This filter fits snugly into the receptacle and was simple to install. The instruction sheet that came with the filter is very busy making it difficult to read. The font size is somewhat small because the information is published in several different languages which takes a lot of space. Recently, being game for a bargain, I purchased a inexpensive filter that was about 1/3 the price of this one. The water tasted like it was coming out of a cheap plastic hose leaving an awful taste in our mouths. We couldn't stand the cheaper filter so we went back and purchased this genuine Samsung filter. My bargain ended up costing me more because I threw the inexpensive filter away long before it was time. Learn from my experience and go ahead and buy the more expensive Samsung filter instead of trying to save a few dollars. Or don't take my word for it and go find out for yourself. I guarantee that if your experience was like mine that you will be back to purchase a Samsung filter.

Replacement filter for my French door, 2 drawer Samsung refrigerator

Late last year I bought a fancy Samsung refrigerator - the model RF4289HARS. It is the one with the 4 doors (actually two French doors on top, a middle drawer, and a bottom freezer drawer. It has the water and ice dispenser on the left French door just under the snazzy blue led lighted touch control panel. Anyway, the change filter light came on and so I removed the filter (it is really easy, just unscrew it a half turn and it comes right out) so I could see what the replacement part number on it said. It was DA-29-00020A. After looking around the internet, and looking on the Samsung website I found that there is no such part number - the closest thing I found was almost the same number only ending with B instead of A. I called Samsung and after getting bounced to 3 different customer service people who had no idea whether part DA-29-00020B was the correct replacement for part DA-29-00020A and one customer service person who did not know that the filters are supposed to be changed after a while, I found a person who was able to tell me that DA-29-00020B is in fact the correct replacement filter for refrigerator model RF4289HARS. I bought two of these filters - one to install now and one for a spare. I put one in (it takes about 5 seconds to insert it and give it a half twist to the right to install it, and then I followed the instructions of running about a gallon of water through it. You really do need to run this amount of water through it so get all of the air out of it so you get a smooth stream of filered water coming out. I then reset the change filter light - you have to do this manually but all it takes is pressing and holding for 5 seconds (not the 3 seconds they tell you) the child lock/filter reset spot on the bottom left corner of the touch control screen just above the water/ice dispenser. It works great now - tasty filtered water and flavorless crushed ice from my fancy refrigerator any time I want it.

Authentic product! Will not disappoint!

Easy to install! And genuine product! I followed directions on the box to install and let the water flow through the filter for 3 gallons of water and empty before I reset the filter button. First gallon of water contained couple of white paper like material and chlorine like smell and little bit of yucky water... but I didn't expect the filter to work right away...samething with facet filters you have to let the water run through the filter for couple gallons before it starts to work right and remove all the contaminations. I read a lots of reviews before purchasing this product and its authentic product! Make your own judgement on what people post as review and also learn to follow instructions (you know there are pieces of paper that comes with every product? That looks like a booklet? Yea! That one!) on how to use the product right way.

Perfect OEM match

The filter I received was an exact replacement to the filter I originally received with my Samsung Refridferator. As you can see from the pic, I had no issue with a change in hole size or change in the nozzle size. It fit perfectly.

ANSI 53 Filtration better filter for your health and money

After doing some thorough research, I decided to get the ANSI 53 filter which really had a much better tasting water than the ANSI 42 filter that was replaced, which was the standard filter in the refrigerator. NSF/ANSI 42 covers aesthetic reduction claims while NSF/ANSI 53 covers health-related reduction claims, and thus a better tasting water. I am glad I invested a few dollars more for a better and healthier filtered water. NSF/ANSI Standard 42 covers POU and POE systems designed to reduce specific aesthetic or non-health-related contaminants (such as chlorine, taste and odor, and particulates) that may be present in public or private drinking water. The scope of Standard 42 is to establish minimum requirements for material safety, structural integrity, product literature, and aesthetic, non-health related contaminant reduction performance claims. NSF/ANSI Standard 53 addresses POU and POE systems designed to reduce specific health-related contaminants that may be present in public or private drinking water. Standard 53 establishes minimum requirements for material safety, structural integrity, product literature, and health related contaminant reduction performance claims. NSF tests and certifies under Standard 53 if a filter system reduces a significant amount of a specific harmful contaminant from drinking water. Such hazardous contaminants may be microbiological (including filterable cysts), chemical (including disinfection byproducts, pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides), or particulate in nature. NSF may certify that a DWTU may be effective in controlling one or more of the health effects contaminants. By carefully reviewing the performance data sheet for a product, you will be able to determine whether the device is effective in reducing many pollutants or just a few. Hope the above details clarifies the difference between the two carbon filtration systems and explains why I chose the latter. As for replacing the filter it took less than 20 seconds, just remember to remove the seal at the end of the filter before snapping it in and turning it to lock it in place.

Way too expensive, but I was having water flow issues with the generic type filters. This was the cure

I hated to pay the price for this filter. $33 for a water filter you can buy for $17. I mean come on. But sadly, i have purchased a few of the off brand replacements. I was so frustrated with my fridge, I was contemplating calling a repairman. The water was just so slow to come out. I do not know why the cheap filters would slow the water down, but they did. Even a brand new off brand filter was slow. I finally thought I would replace my filter with the Samsung brand. If that did not work, I would call the repairman. Well, two notable things. It fits the socket properly. the off brand filters fit, but they did not fit perfectly. There was a large gap around the filter. This filter looked just like the one that came with the fridge. Probably because it was the same filter. Second, and most importantly, the water came out of the fridge so fast you could fill cups easily. The old filters had made this process so annoying that we dreaded filling water cups. I actually think we were drinking less water, just to avoid the hassle. This problem is solved. Before you say, well you just needed to replace your filter with a new generic filter and you would have seen the same results. Well, I replaced the first filter when the fridge told me to. I immediately noticed a reduced flow with the new replacement generic filter, form the old Samsung filter (that the fridge just told me to replace). I bought a multi-pack, so I figured I would use them. I also questioned if the reduced flow was just my imagination. But it got more annoying as time went on. It even became a point of contention with other family members. This problem has been fully solved with the Samsung filter. The few dollar saving s is not worth the hassle of the generic filters. I did only try one brand, so maybe you can find a generic brand that will work for you. My plan is to use the Samsung filters, and ignore the filter change light. I will replace the Samsung filter whit a new filter when the water flow actually slows down. I would guess they could go a year or more in my area. One of my neighbors has a 2 year old fridge. I noticed how fast their water came out. I asked what kind of filter they had. They said, "these have filters?" SO my assessment is buy good filters. Replace them when they need it, not when the calendar tells you. that way you can spend a little extra for a good one.

Works Beautifully

At first, it puzzled me as the one I was replacing had on one O-ring at the top, while this one had two O-rings at the top. Also, the locking dial was skinnier. I actually went an ask for a return and refund. But after thinking about it for a moment, and comparing the two, I concluded that it ought to fit even with 2 O-rings because the length and shape of the filters were a pretty close to a twin match. So I gave it a try. It slid in easily, and locked down effortlessly, quickly, and securely. I am impressed and very happy, I quickly canceled the return and refund. And apologize for my earlier misjudgment. It's a great product, and it works beautifully. Thank you. Starjet
