What water filter for Samsung RF28HDEDTSR?
For the Samsung RF28HDEDTSR refrigerator, the correct replacement water filter is the refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A. This is the filter we list for this model; replacing it on schedule helps keep water tasting clean and protects the dispenser and ice maker from flow restrictions.
How to confirm you have the right filter
Use these quick checks before ordering:
- Match the refrigerator model number: RF28HDEDTSR
- Match the filter part number: DA29-00019A
- Confirm the filter location (most Samsung French door units use an internal, twist-in filter)
- If your old filter has a different number, compare it to the parts list for this model
- Review the replacement steps in the owner's manual
Replacement interval and what to expect
Most refrigerator water filters should be replaced every 6 months, or sooner if water flow slows or ice production drops.
- After installing, flush several gallons of water through the dispenser to clear air and carbon fines
- Discard the first bin or two of ice after a filter change
- If the filter is hard to remove, turn it slowly and keep the housing aligned to avoid cracking
Common symptoms a clogged filter causes
A restricted filter often shows up as:
- Slow water dispensing
- Hollow or small ice cubes
- Ice maker stops filling consistently
- Water tastes or smells off
- Filter indicator stays on until reset

Why is my Samsung fridge not making ice in the bottom freezer?
If your Samsung RF28HDEDTSR bottom-mount refrigerator isn’t making ice, the most common causes are the ice maker being turned off, a frozen fill tube, low water flow from a clogged filter, or a temperature/airflow problem in the freezer. We recommend checking settings first, then water supply and ice buildup.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Confirm Ice On is enabled (not in “Ice Off” mode).
- Make sure the ice bucket is fully seated and not jammed with clumped ice.
- Set the freezer to 0°F (typical target for reliable ice production).
- Look for frost or ice around the ice maker area that could block the fill tube.
- Dispense water at the door (if equipped); weak flow points to a supply or filter restriction.
Reset and restart the ice maker
A reset often clears a stalled harvest cycle.
- Remove the ice container and check for broken cubes or obstructions.
- Use the ice maker test/reset function described in the owner's manual.
- After resetting, allow 24 hours for normal production (and up to 48 hours after a full thaw or first startup).
Water supply and filter issues (very common)
Restricted water flow can stop ice production even if the dispenser still works.
- Replace the filter if it is older than 6 months or water flow is slow.
- After installing a new filter, flush several gallons of water to purge air.
- Verify the household shutoff valve is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
Helpful part for this model:
| Symptom | What it points to | Part to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Small cubes or no cubes | Low water flow | Refrigerator water filter DA29-00019A |
Cooling and airflow problems that stop ice
If the freezer is too warm or airflow is blocked, the ice maker may not cycle.
- Make sure vents are not blocked by food packages.
- If you hear unusual fan noise or the freezer temperature swings, inspect for heavy frost buildup.
- If temperatures are inaccurate, a failed sensor can mislead the control.
| Issue | What you may notice | Part that can be involved |
|---|---|---|
| Defrost problem | Frost buildup, warming | Refrigerator defrost heater DA47-00244U |
| Temperature sensing problem | Temps don’t match setting | Refrigerator temperature sensor DA32-10104N |
Why it matters
An ice maker depends on three things working together: correct freezer temperature, steady airflow, and consistent water fill. Fixing the root cause prevents repeat clogs, leaks, and ice clumping.

What are the dimensions of the Samsung RF28HDEDTSR?
The Samsung RF28HDEDTSR bottom-mount refrigerator is 35 3/4 in. wide. Depending on whether you include hinges, doors, and handles, the overall size ranges from 68 7/8 to 70 in. high and 29 3/8 to 36 1/2 in. deep; confirm clearances in the owner's manual.
Dimension options (W x H x D)
Use the set that matches how you are planning the install and how the unit will sit in your kitchen.
- With hinges, handles, and doors: 35 3/4" x 70" x 36 1/2"
- With hinge and door, no handle: 35 3/4" x 70" x 34"
- Without hinges and door (cabinet only): 35 3/4" x 68 7/8" x 29 3/8"
Weight
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Approximate weight | 390.2 lb. |
How we recommend planning your space
These checks prevent fit and clearance problems with French door refrigerators.
- Measure the opening width at the front and back; use the smaller number.
- Verify height to the lowest cabinet, trim, or soffit.
- Plan depth for door swing and the freezer drawer pull-out.
- Allow room for leveling and ventilation clearance.
- If you are moving it in, compare cabinet-only depth to doorways and tight turns.
Why it matters
Using the correct dimension set (with handles vs. without) prevents a refrigerator that sticks out too far, doors that cannot open fully, or airflow restrictions that reduce cooling performance.
