The Samsung HAF-QIN (sold as HAF-QIN/EXP and cross-referenced as part DA97-17376B) is the genuine refrigerator water filter for most current Samsung French-door and 4-Door Flex refrigerators. This guide covers what it does, how long it lasts, which models it fits, and how to source it in bulk.
Quick cross-reference
- Marketing name: HAF-QIN / HAF-QIN/EXP
- Samsung part number: DA97-17376B
- Replaces / supersedes: HAF-CIN (older equivalent)
- Do not confuse with: HAF-CU1 / HAF-CU1S — a different, older filter for other Samsung models
What the HAF-QIN filter reduces
Genuine HAF-QIN cartridges are tested and certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 42 (chlorine taste and odor) and NSF/ANSI Standard 53 (health-related contaminants such as lead, certain pesticides and cysts). The activated-carbon block media improves the taste of drinking water and ice while protecting the dispenser system from sediment.
Specifications
- Rated life: approximately 6 months or 300 gallons under normal use
- Media: activated carbon block
- Installation: quarter-turn twist-in cartridge — no tools required
- Location: internal, usually the upper-right or upper-rear of the fresh-food compartment
Actual life depends on local water quality and usage. The refrigerator’s filter indicator turns orange as the filter nears the end of life and red when replacement is due.
Compatible Samsung refrigerators
HAF-QIN fits most Samsung French-door, 4-Door Flex and Family Hub refrigerators from recent model years — including many RF22, RF23, RF24, RF27, RF28 and RF29 series units. Always confirm against the model number printed on the old filter or in the owner’s manual before ordering in volume.
How to replace it
The HAF-QIN is a quarter-turn twist cartridge: shut off the dispenser, rotate the old filter counter-clockwise to release it, insert the new one, turn clockwise until the lock symbol lines up with the indicator line, then flush 2–4 gallons and reset the filter indicator.
