What is the part number of the Samsung RS265TDRS water filter?
For the Samsung RS265TDRS refrigerator, the exact water filter part number is not identified in the model-specific information we have for this model. We recommend confirming the filter number printed on your current cartridge or using the replacement steps in the RS265TDRS manual to match the correct filter style.
How to confirm the correct filter for RS265TDRS
Use these quick checks to avoid ordering the wrong cartridge:
- Remove the existing filter and read the part number printed on the label.
- Confirm the filter’s shape and locking style (this model uses a twist-to-lock style in the filter housing).
- Match the filter location: bottom right area inside the fresh food section (filter housing location is shown in the manual).
- If the label is worn off, match by the housing style and the way the filter turns (90° turn).
- After installing the new filter, flush water through the dispenser to clear air and carbon fines.
Replacement steps (what this model uses)
The RS265TDRS manual describes a simple 90° turn removal and install process:
- Turn the filter 90° counterclockwise.
- Pull the filter straight out of the housing.
- Insert the new filter fully into the housing.
- Turn the new filter 90° clockwise to lock.
Filter reset and flush checklist
| Task | What to do | Typical result |
|---|---|---|
| Reset filter indicator | Press and hold Water for 3 seconds | Filter light returns to blue |
| Flush after replacement | Run about 3 gallons through dispenser | Clears air and improves taste |
| Check for leaks | Inspect around filter housing | No drips or seepage |
Why it matters
Using the correct water filter helps protect the dispenser and ice maker from flow restrictions and helps maintain water taste and clarity. A mismatched filter can leak, fit loosely, or reduce water flow.
