Location, indicator and reset

Model-specific details stay separate from generic cartridge instructions.

Filter location

Indicator behavior
Yes
Reset guidance
After replacement, hold Filter Reset on the main panel for 3 seconds (AA manual pages 42 and 70). Use the labeled main-panel control, not a sequence from another Samsung model.
  • Keep the /AA suffix when comparing documentation and parts records for the U.S. appliance.
  • The filter family is HAF-QIN even when a retailer lists a package code ending in /EXP or a two-pack suffix.
  • Additional documentation checked 2026-10-22; the original review date and U.S. model/market identity remain unchanged. The linked manufacturer manual is not a physical installation test.

Installation, replacement and bypass

Use the registered Samsung instructions for the HAF-QIN workflow, and keep unverified model behavior explicit.

    Replacement timing
    Replacement timing cannot be verified for this model.
    Bypass behavior
    The linked AA manual states that water is not supplied when the filter is removed, so the ice maker and dispenser do not operate (page 69). It does not specify a bypass plug; do not infer automatic bypass or a plug part number.
