About Samsung water filters

Samsung sells its fridge water filters under HAF family names (HAF-QIN/EXP and HAF-CIN/EXP), and each also carries a DA97 cartridge number; the HAF-QIN replacement cartridge is DA97-17376B. Samsung says to replace the filter every six months, and the filter light on the fridge's panel turns red when it is due. Check which HAF family your fridge uses before ordering.
