The HAF-QIN is the Samsung refrigerator water filter with part number DA97-17376B, and it fits the Samsung side by side and French door refrigerators that take this cartridge. If you find HAF-QIN or DA97-17376B on your old cartridge, this replacement is the part to order. We stock the Replacement Sam-sung DA97-17376B Refrigerator Water Filter HAF-QIN HAFQIN/EXP in packs of 1, 2, 3 and 6. Order by the number on your old cartridge, because Samsung has used several cartridges over the years.
The HAF-QIN is the slim bar in the Samsung line
Samsung refrigerator cartridges come in three shapes, and each family has its own shape. The HAF-QIN is a slim bar with a square section. It measures 2.13 by 2.13 by 8.86 inches, close to nine inches from end to end.
The two older Samsung shapes look nothing like it. The HAF-CIN, part DA29-00020B or DA29-00020A, sits inside the fresh food compartment and releases with a quarter turn. The HAFCU1, part DA29-00003G, is a short round can about 5 1/2 inches long. If your old cartridge is round or short, it is not a HAF-QIN, and our Samsung refrigerator water filter guide sorts out those two families.
Shape is the quick first check, and the part number is the final one. Take a photo of the label when the old cartridge comes out. The photo keeps the number at hand for the next order, and it helps when someone else in your home places it.
One HAF-QIN lasts six months or 300 gallons
The HAF-QIN has a filter life of 6 months or 300 gallons, whichever comes first. Count both limits from the day the new cartridge goes in.
Spread over six months, 300 gallons comes to about 1.6 gallons of filtered water a day. A home that pours a few glasses a day reaches the six month date first. A busy kitchen that fills pitchers and ice bins from the door can reach 300 gallons sooner, and that home plans its change before the six month mark.
The cartridge flows at 0.4 gallons per minute. It works at a water pressure from 30 to 125 psi and a water temperature from 34 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Each year takes two cartridges. A 2 pack covers a full year of six month changes. A 6 pack covers three years, and the next cartridge sits in your cupboard before the change date comes.
The HAF-QIN carries three NSF/ANSI standards
NSF International tests and certifies the DA97-17376B to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53. The cartridge also meets NSF/ANSI 401 testing for emerging contaminants, which turn up in drinking water at trace levels.
Standard 42 covers aesthetic effects such as taste and odor. Standard 53 covers health effects. Those three numbers are worth checking on the box, because NSF tests a cartridge against each one.
Set the next cartridge to arrive every six months
A six month change is easy to forget. With Subscribe and Save, you choose the interval once, and we ship your next cartridge on that schedule. The new cartridge arrives when the old one is due. On our HAF-QIN page, choose a delivery every six months to match the filter life. You can also choose every three months or once a year, and you can adjust the interval, pause a shipment, skip a delivery or cancel.
Check your old cartridge for HAF-QIN or DA97-17376B. When it matches, order the Replacement Sam-sung DA97-17376B Refrigerator Water Filter HAF-QIN HAFQIN/EXP in the pack size you want on hand.
