Enjoy fresh-tasting drinking water and ice with the Samsung DA29-00003G refrigerator water filter, designed for compatible Samsung French Door and Side-by-Side refrigerators using the short round twist-in filter cartridge.
The DA29-00003G uses activated carbon block filtration to help reduce chlorine taste and odor, particulates, turbidity, lead, mercury, asbestos, cysts, and other contaminants identified in the applicable certification data. It has a rated capacity of 300 gallons and is generally recommended for about every 6 months, depending on water quality and household usage.
The filter installs without tools using a simple quarter-turn locking mechanism, making routine filter quick and convenient.
Compatibility tip: Always check the part number printed on your existing refrigerator filter before ordering. The DA29-00003G belongs to a specific Samsung filter family and is not interchangeable with every Samsung refrigerator filter.

Discount Filter Store lists 0.4 GPM and 20–125 PSI, while Filters Fast lists 0.5 GPM and 30–120 PSI. Because the sources differ, we should verify the specifications printed on your actual inventory/packaging before publishing a single exact flow-rate or pressure figure.

The Discount Filter Store listing reports testing/certification against NSF/ANSI Standards 42, 53 and 401, while Filters Fast reports NSF 42 and 53 for its Samsung listing. Because certification claims can depend on the exact manufacturer/cartridge version, The Filter Beast should only publish the certifications applicable to the actual product being sold.
Filter Life

How to Install the DA29-00003G
Replacing the filter is designed to be simple and tool-free:
- Locate the refrigerator's water filter.
-
Turn the old filter approximately ¼ turn counterclockwise.
- Pull the cartridge straight down and remove it.
- Remove the protective cap from the new filter if supplied.
- Insert the DA29-00003G into the filter housing.
-
Push it upward and turn approximately ¼ turn clockwise until locked.
- Check that the filter is securely seated.
- Flush water through the dispenser before drinking or using the water for ice.
- Reset the refrigerator's filter indicator if your model has one.
Filters Fast recommends flushing the system for approximately 5 minutes, while Discount Filter Store provides a quarter-turn installation sequence and filter-reset instructions. The exact procedure can vary by refrigerator model, so the owner's manual should be followed where it differs.
Filter Reset
Some Samsung refrigerators use the Ice Type + Child Lock buttons to reset the filter indicator. On supported models, the buttons are held simultaneously for approximately 3 seconds.
However, reset controls vary between Samsung refrigerator models, so customers should use the reset procedure specified in their refrigerator manual.
