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.
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
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
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.
- 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.
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).
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 |
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 |
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.
For model-specific steps and control panel options, follow the owner's manual.

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.
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"
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Approximate weight | 390.2 lb. |
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.
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.
