HAF-QIN Refrigerator Water Filter Compatibility Finder
Buying the wrong Samsung water filter wastes money and, in some models, can damage the dispenser system if it doesn’t seat correctly. The HAF-QIN filter also sold as HAF-QIN/EXP, or printed with the code DA97-17376B fits a specific range of Samsung refrigerators, not every Samsung model. FilterFitNow verifies your match against manufacturer part-fitment data and independent retailer cross-references, not just similar-looking part numbers.

How We Verify Compatibility
Each match on this page passes through three checks before publication:

- Published compatibility lists from filter makers and retailers
- User-reported data, weighed against those two
Where the sources don’t agree, we mark it unverified instead of publishing a guess. Full verification methodology →
How Do You Replace a HAF-QIN Filter?
The process is identical to any Samsung cartridge filter: twist to release, pull out, insert the new HAF-QIN filter, twist to lock, and flush before use.
- Locate the filter housing typically inside the refrigerator compartment (upper right) for French-door models, or in the base grille for side-by-side models.
- Turn the filter a quarter-turn counterclockwise, or open the cover and pull straight out depending on your model.
- Remove the old filter and check the code printed on it to confirm your replacement matches.
- Insert the new filter and turn clockwise until it locks, or close the housing cover.
- Run water through the dispenser for 2 to 3 minutes to clear air and carbon fines before drinking.
- Reset the filter indicator light via your model’s control panel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is HAF-QIN the same filter as DA97-17376B?
Yes. HAF-QIN and HAF-QIN/EXP are the marketing/retail names Samsung uses; DA97-17376B is the manufacturer part number printed on the filter itself. DA97-08006C is an earlier cross-reference code for the same filter family. They’re interchangeable for compatible models.
What’s the difference between HAF-QIN and DA29-00020B?
These are two different filters for two different Samsung refrigerator generations. DA29-00020B (HAF-CIN/EXP) fits the RF23 to RF31 and RS25/RS27 series; HAF-QIN (DA97-17376B) fits the newer RF23M/RF28R/RF28T and RS22T/RS23A/RS27T/RS28A series. Check the code on your existing filter or your model number against the tables on this page and our main Samsung filter guide → they aren’t interchangeable.
How often should I replace my HAF-QIN filter?
Every 6 months or after 300 gallons, whichever comes first or sooner if water flow noticeably slows.
Can I use a compatible filter instead of a genuine Samsung HAF-QIN?
Compatible third-party filters exist, but fit and filtration performance vary. We only confirm a match when it passes our verification process see above.
Why is my filter light still on after replacing it?
Most models need a manual reset after a filter change check your model’s reset procedure, usually a button hold or menu option on the display panel.
