The Tier1 DA97-17376B is a high-quality comparable replacement—not an OEM Samsung filter—engineered to meet or exceed the performance of the Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP refrigerator water filter. It is designed with the exact same dimensions and push-in connection style, ensuring a precise fit in compatible Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerator models such as the RF23M8070SG, RF28R7351SG, and RF22R7351SR, without modifications or adapters.

This Tier1 replacement filter features a coconut shell carbon block with a nominal 5-micron rating, capable of trapping fine sediment, particulates, and dissolved contaminants that affect taste and odor. Its rated filtration life is 300 gallons or approximately 6 months of typical household use—whichever comes first. Households with heavy water consumption or poor source water quality should replace the filter sooner to maintain optimal flow rate and filtration performance.

The Tier1 DA97-17376B comparable filter is designed to significantly reduce chlorine taste and odor, sediment, rust particles, turbidity, and other common aesthetic contaminants found in municipal tap water. Its activated coconut carbon block media provides enhanced adsorption for a cleaner, fresher-tasting glass of water and ice directly from your Samsung refrigerator, while preserving beneficial minerals like fluoride and calcium.

The Tier1 DA97-17376B comparable filter is manufactured in an IAPMO-tested facility and is designed and tested to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 criteria for the reduction of chlorine taste and odor and aesthetic effects. This ensures the filter meets rigorous industry standards for material safety and structural integrity, delivering reliable performance at a fraction of the cost of the branded Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP.

Installation is tool-free: simply twist the old filter a quarter turn counterclockwise, pull it out, and push the new Tier1 DA97-17376B straight into the housing until it clicks into place. Flush approximately 1 gallon of water through the dispenser to clear any carbon fines and air. To reset the filter indicator light on your Samsung refrigerator, press and hold the "Ice/Water Filter" or "Alarm/Hold 3 Sec" button on the control panel for 3 seconds until the light turns from red/orange back to blue or off.
