How do I find the right water filter for my refrigerator?
For your Samsung refrigerator model RF28HDEDBSR, the right water filter is the one that matches your exact model and filter housing style. We recommend confirming the model number on the rating label, then cross-checking the current filter’s markings and the filter section in the RF28HDEDBSR owner's manual.
- Check the rating label inside the fresh food compartment for RF28HDEDBSR.
- Remove the existing filter and note any part number printed on the filter body.
- Look at the filter head/housing (twist-in vs push-in styles are not interchangeable).
- Confirm whether your refrigerator uses an internal cartridge or an inline filter on the water line.
- If the dispenser flow is weak, replace the filter first; a clogged filter can mimic a water supply problem.
Most Samsung French door and bottom-mount refrigerators place the water filter in one of these spots:
| Common location | What you’ll see | Typical access |
|---|---|---|
| Upper right interior | Round cartridge or cap | Twist and pull down/out |
| Lower interior (near crisper area) | Filter cover or housing | Open cover, twist out |
| Back of refrigerator (inline) | Small cylinder on water line | Shut off water, replace inline filter |
Using the correct filter helps protect the water inlet valve, improves dispenser flow, and keeps taste and odor performance consistent. The wrong style can leak, fit loosely, or restrict water flow.
Use the model number RF28HDEDBSR and compare the old filter’s printed markings to the replacement listing before ordering. If your refrigerator has low water flow even with a new filter, the issue is often upstream (house shutoff valve, kinked line) or a component such as the refrigerator water inlet valve DA62-04027A.

What are the dimensions of the Samsung RF28HDEDBSR?
The Samsung RF28HDEDBSR is typically about 35 3/4 inches wide and about 70 inches tall (with hinges). Depth varies by configuration: expect roughly 36 1/2 inches deep with handles or about 34 inches deep without handles. For the exact configuration callouts, use the RF28HDEDBSR owner's manual.
Use a tape measure and confirm which configuration matches your install:
- Width: measure the cabinet at the widest point (usually the case)
- Height: measure floor to top of hinge cover (or top of case if hinges removed)
- Depth with handles: front of handle to back of cabinet
- Depth without handles: front of door skin to back of cabinet
- Depth without doors: front of cabinet to back of cabinet (used for tight entries)
These are the most commonly used planning dimensions for this model family.
| Measurement setup | Approx. size (W x H x D) | Best used for |
|---|---|---|
| With hinges, handles, and doors | 35 3/4" x 70" x 36 1/2" | Final fit in the kitchen opening |
| Without hinges and doors | 35 3/4" x 68 7/8" x 29 3/8" | Moving through doorways and tight turns |
| With hinges and doors, no handles | 35 3/4" x 70" x 34" | Fit when handles are removed |
Refrigerator dimensions affect more than the opening width. Depth determines whether doors and drawers clear surrounding cabinets, and the “without doors” depth is often the deciding factor for getting the unit through an entryway.

What part number is the Samsung RF28HDEDBSR water filter?
For the Samsung RF28HDEDBSR refrigerator, the correct water filter part number depends on the filter style your unit is set up to use (cartridge in the fresh food compartment vs. an inline filter in the water line). We match the exact filter by confirming the filter housing and the part number printed on the old filter; see the RF28HDEDBSR owner's manual for your model’s filter location and replacement steps.
- Remove the current filter and read the part number printed on the label.
- Check where it installs: inside the refrigerator (twist-in cartridge) or behind the unit (inline).
- Compare the shape: quarter-turn “bottle” style vs. push-in or inline cylinder.
- Confirm your dispenser type (water only vs. water and ice); it affects the plumbing path.
- If the filter is missing, inspect the filter head/housing for a sticker with the filter number.
These are the most common configurations we see on Samsung bottom-mount and French door models; use them to narrow what you have before ordering.
| Filter setup | Where it installs | What to verify before buying |
|---|---|---|
| Internal cartridge filter | Inside fresh food compartment | Old filter part number and cartridge shape |
| Inline water filter | In the water line behind the refrigerator | Inline filter size, fittings, and flow direction arrow |
A new filter does not always reset the indicator automatically.
- Reset the filter indicator using the control panel steps in the manual
- Dispense and discard several gallons of water to purge air and carbon fines
- Check for slow flow; a partially closed shutoff valve can mimic a clogged filter

Using the correct Samsung water filter keeps water flow strong, helps protect the water inlet valve and dispenser system, and prevents leaks caused by mismatched seals or fittings.
