Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP Refrigerator Water Filter: DA97-17376B vs DA97-08006C, Which Fridges Take It and the 6-Month Interval
Samsung lists HAF-QIN/EXP as cartridge DA97-17376B for system DA97-08006C, rated 300 gallons or 6 months, NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 (no 401 on Samsung's page).

Short answer
The Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP is the retail name for one cartridge, and Samsung’s HAF-QIN/EXP product page prints the other two numbers next to it: DA97-17376B is the replacement cartridge code and DA97-08006C is the system model the cartridge is for use in. Samsung rates the HAF-QIN/EXP at 300 gallons or 6 months (1200 L on the Canadian page), lists it to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 with no 401, and describes the install as a 90 degree rotate-and-lock turn. Samsung publishes no flow rate and no micron rating. Samsung’s compatible-refrigerator table did not render for this brief, so the fridge models named below are cross-fit sellers’ claims, not Samsung’s. The cross-fits split on certification: AQUA CREST AQF-FF45 and ICEPURE RWF4200A list NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 per their makers, and only the ICEPURE PLUS RWF4200AH adds NSF/ANSI 53. The spec that must match is the DA97-08006C system code on the filter head.
The picks
The exact cartridge Samsung names: DA97-17376B. Skip it for the AQUA CREST cross-fit if taste and odor are the whole complaint and price matters more than NSF/ANSI 53
Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP genuine, 1-pack
300 gal or 6 months, NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 per Samsung's page; 90 degree rotate-and-lock
A year of changes on Samsung's 6-month schedule. Same skip: the AQUA CREST cross-fit costs less if you only want taste and odor covered
Samsung HAF-QIN-2P/EXP genuine, 2-pack
Same DA97-17376B cartridge, two per pack; 300 gal or 6 months each per Samsung's page
Cross-fit for taste and odor only, no NSF/ANSI 53
AQUA CREST AQF-FF45, 2-pack
NSF/ANSI 42 (C0293234) and 372 (C0145653) per the listing; 316 gal or 6 months per the listing
If the cartridge you pulled out reads HAF-CIN or DA29-00020B, you are on the wrong page: that is a different slot, and the Samsung DA29-00020B page covers it.
Which cartridges fit the HAF-QIN slot?
Samsung’s HAF-QIN/EXP page fixes the three part numbers and the two published ratings, and everything else in the table is the seller’s claim. The certification column is as listed on each maker’s page; no NSF or IAPMO database lookup was made for this page.
| Part | Sold as | Capacity and interval | NSF/ANSI (per maker) | Fits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP | Cartridge DA97-17376B, 1-pack | 300 gal or 6 months (Samsung Canada page) | 42, 53 | System DA97-08006C (Samsung’s page) |
| Samsung HAF-QIN-2P/EXP | Same cartridge, 2-pack | 300 gal or 6 months per cartridge | 42, 53 | System DA97-08006C |
| Samsung HAF-QIN-3P/EXP | Same cartridge, 3-pack | 300 gal or 6 months per cartridge | 42, 53 | System DA97-08006C; not linked, listing not checked |
The Amazon listing for the genuine cartridge shows NSF 42, 53 and 401 in its spec field. Samsung’s own pages show 42 and 53 only, so this page does not claim 401; the NSF/ANSI standards guide explains what each number covers.
Which Samsung refrigerators take it?
Samsung’s compatible-products table is JavaScript-rendered and did not load for this brief, so Samsung’s own model list is not here. The models below are what cross-fit sellers name for the DA97-08006C slot, and a seller’s list is not a Samsung confirmation.
| Series (seller claims) | Models named by cross-fit sellers |
|---|---|
| RF23 French door | RF23M8070SG, RF23M8070SR, RF23M8090SG, RF23M8090SR, RF23M8570SG, RF23M8570SR, RF23M8590SG, RF23M8590SR |
| RF24 and RF28 French door | RF24R7201SR, RF28R6201SR, RF28R7201SR, RF28R7201SG, RF28T5001SR |
| RS22 and RS27 side by side | RS22T5201SR, RS22T5201SG, RS27T5200SR |
The check that beats any list is the filter head itself. Pull the old cartridge and read the system number printed on it or on the head: DA97-08006C takes the HAF-QIN/EXP, and a different number means a different page.
What else fits the same slot?
Three cross-fit lines claim the DA97-17376B and DA97-08006C fit. They differ on certification, and the difference is the whole decision.
| Alternative | Claims to replace | NSF/ANSI (per maker) | Capacity and interval | What differs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AQUA CREST AQF-FF45 | DA97-17376B, DA97-08006C, HAF-QIN/EXP | 42 (certificate C0293234) and 372 (certificate C0145653), per the brand’s listing text | 316 gal or 6 months, per the listing | No 53: taste, odor and lead-free materials only |
| ICEPURE RWF4200A | DA97-17376B, DA97-08006C, HAF-QIN | 42 and 372, per icepurefilter.com | Not published | No 53; no amazon.com listing found, so no link |
| ICEPURE PLUS RWF4200AH | DA97-08006C, HAF-QIN/EXP | 53 (IAPMO), 42 and 372, per icepurefilter.com | Not published | The only cross-fit here with a 53 listing; no amazon.com listing found |
| Waterdrop cross-fit | DA97-17376B, DA97-08006C | Not confirmed: the product page returned 404 | Not confirmed | No usable spec, so not in the picks |
NSF/ANSI 372 is a lead-content standard for the filter’s wetted materials, not a performance claim for the water. A cartridge listed to 42 and 372 alone is certified for chlorine taste and odor and for what it is made of, nothing more.
The Icepure PLUS page publishes reduction percentages instead of a capacity: 99.80 percent Class I particulate, 99.60 percent lead, 89.30 percent mercury, 99.99 percent cysts, 97.50 percent chlorine taste and odor. These are the maker’s own figures, not a claim about the base RWF4200A.
How often does it need replacing?
Samsung’s Canadian page gives one figure and no shortening condition: 300 gallons or 6 months, whichever comes first. The fridge’s filter indicator counts time, not gallons, so a household that draws more than 300 gallons in 6 months is past the rating before the light turns.
Samsung publishes no flow rate or micron rating for the HAF-QIN/EXP, and neither does any cross-fit maker’s page opened for this brief, so a drop in dispenser flow has no published threshold.
Genuine, or the cross-fit with 53
The genuine cartridge costs more than any cross-fit, and the price buys the NSF/ANSI 53 listing on Samsung’s own page plus the exact part number your fridge’s head was built for. Buy the Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP , or the HAF-QIN-2P/EXP 2-pack for the year, if lead or cysts are on your water report.
Skip both if taste and odor are the whole complaint and price per cartridge matters more than the 53 listing: buy the AQUA CREST AQF-FF45 instead, whose listing cites 42 and 372, not 53. The ICEPURE PLUS RWF4200AH is the cross-fit with a 53 listing, and it had no amazon.com listing to link when this page was checked.
How do you check for a counterfeit?
Samsung’s counterfeit alert names five fake filter model numbers, A8441, AK27, DJ27, A5393 and A4461, and its only test is the seller: samsung.com, an authorised parts seller or an authorised service centre. The alert is general to Samsung refrigerator filters, and Samsung publishes no hologram, weight or reset-light check for the HAF-QIN/EXP.
Frequently asked questions
Is Samsung HAF-QIN/EXP the same filter as DA97-17376B and DA97-08006C?
Yes, they are three numbers for one filter slot. Samsung's HAF-QIN/EXP product page prints DA97-17376B as the replacement cartridge code and DA97-08006C as the system model the cartridge is for use in. HAF-QIN/EXP is the retail SKU on the box, DA97-17376B is the cartridge, and DA97-08006C is the filter head inside the refrigerator.
How often does Samsung say to replace the HAF-QIN/EXP filter?
Samsung's Canadian product page rates the HAF-QIN/EXP at 300 gallons (1200 L) or 6 months, whichever comes first. Samsung publishes no flow rate or micron figure for it, so the only condition that shortens the interval on Samsung's page is volume: a household drawing more than 300 gallons of filtered water in 6 months changes it sooner.
Which NSF/ANSI standards does Samsung list for the HAF-QIN/EXP?
Samsung's Canadian and UK product pages both show NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 for the HAF-QIN/EXP, and no third standard. NSF/ANSI 42 covers aesthetic effects such as chlorine taste and odor; NSF/ANSI 53 covers health-related contaminants such as lead. The Amazon listing adds NSF 401 in its spec field, but Samsung's own pages do not.
Which cross-fit filters for the HAF-QIN slot carry NSF/ANSI 53?
Of the cross-fits checked, only the ICEPURE PLUS RWF4200AH lists NSF/ANSI 53 on its maker's page, alongside 42 and 372. AQUA CREST AQF-FF45 cites NSF/ANSI 42 (certificate C0293234) and 372 (certificate C0145653) in its own listing text, and the base ICEPURE RWF4200A lists 42 and 372. Neither of those two claims 53.
How does Samsung say to spot a counterfeit refrigerator filter?
Samsung's support alert on counterfeit refrigerator water filters lists five fake filter model numbers, A8441, AK27, DJ27, A5393 and A4461, and tells buyers to purchase only from samsung.com, authorised parts sellers or authorised service centres. The alert is general to Samsung filters, not specific to the HAF-QIN/EXP, and Samsung publishes no hologram or reset-light test.
Fact sheet and how to cite this page
- Answer
- Samsung’s HAF-QIN/EXP product page names DA97-17376B as the replacement cartridge code and DA97-08006C as the system model it fits, rates the cartridge at 300 gallons or 6 months (1200 L), and lists it to NSF/ANSI 42 and 53. Samsung’s page shows no NSF/ANSI 401 listing and publishes no flow rate or micron rating.
- Applies to
- HAF-QIN/EXP (cartridge DA97-17376B)
- System: DA97-08006C
- Compatibility basis
- Samsung Canada and Samsung UK HAF-QIN/EXP product pages, spec block (system model, cartridge code, capacity, interval, NSF standards)
- Assumptions
- Samsung’s compatible-refrigerator table did not render when this brief was built, so every fridge model number on this page is a cross-fit seller’s claim, not Samsung’s.
- Certifications are as listed on each maker’s page; no NSF or IAPMO database lookup was made.
- The Amazon listing spec field shows NSF 401 for the genuine cartridge; Samsung’s own pages do not, and Samsung’s page is the one used here.
- Method
- Part numbers, interval, capacity, install action and NSF standards copied from Samsung’s HAF-QIN/EXP spec block; cross-fit certifications copied from each maker’s page or the brand’s own Amazon listing text; counterfeit numbers from Samsung’s support alert.
