About this cartridge

DA29-00003G is shorter and wider than the 00020B. It carries the HAFIN retail codes and is fitted to Samsung models from the late 2000s and early 2010s, many of which are still in service.

Certified to 42 and 53 at 300 gallons. The most reliable way to tell the two apart is to look at the collar: the 00003G has a wide flange, the 00020B a narrow one.

Which refrigerators it fits

Samsung has not published a model-level list for this cartridge that we can verify, so we do not publish one either. The number on the cartridge you are removing is the reliable check.

Replacing it

  1. Turn the old cartridge a quarter turn counter-clockwise and pull it straight out. Keep a towel under it — a few ounces of water will come out.
  2. Remove the protective cap from the new cartridge and check that the O-rings are seated flat in their grooves.
  3. Push it in and turn clockwise until it stops. Run two to three gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then reset the indicator.

Common questions

Does the DA29-00003G fit my Samsung refrigerator?
The cartridge fits the Samsung HAFIN housing housing. Give us the refrigerator model number and we will confirm it against the housing list.
How often do I need to replace the DA29-00003G?
Samsung rates it at 6 months or 300 gallons, whichever comes first. High-volume households usually hit the gallon limit before the calendar limit.
Is DA29-00003A the same filter as DA29-00003G?
Yes. DA29-00003A, DA29-00003B, HAFIN1/EXP, HAFIN2/EXP all refer to the same physical cartridge. The suffix tracks packaging or retail channel, not fit.
Can I use an aftermarket 29-00003G replacement?
Physically, usually yes — the housing is the same. The difference is certification breadth and seal tolerance. Check that any third-party part carries an NSF 42 or 53 mark, and on chip-equipped housings (GE XWFE, RPWFE, newer Samsung) that it includes a recognition chip.
