Samsung RF23A9071SR/AA refrigerator water filter: HAF-QIN / HAF-QIN/EXP
Samsung’s official HAF-QIN fit list includes the model-family pattern for RF23A9071SR; Samsung’s appliance page/support record verifies the complete model string RF23A9071SR/AA. Samsung’s exact appliance documentation verifies this model, and Samsung’s HAF-QIN page explicitly lists its RF23A9071** compatible-family entry. This record is bounded to the exact full model string shown here. Samsung lists a 300-gallon filter capacity and recommends replacing it every six months; use the exact model manual for cartridge location and reset. This entry applies only to the complete model string RF23A9071SR/AA; the filter family is not a brand-wide fit rule.
Safety boundary
- Before opening the housing, follow the exact RF23A9071SR/AA manual and Samsung replacement guidance, including shutting off the water where directed.
- Use HAF-QIN only if the full appliance model and cartridge marking agree; do not force a cartridge that does not seat and lock normally.
- After replacement, follow Samsung’s model-specific flush and filter-indicator reset instructions; inspect for leakage before continuing to dispense.
Compatibility requires a direct model listing, explicit supersession, or equivalent manufacturer evidence.
Required identifiers

Compatibility rules
- Samsung’s official HAF-QIN fit list includes the model-family pattern for RF23A9071SR; Samsung’s appliance page/support record verifies the complete model string RF23A9071SR/AA.
- The official HAF-QIN list uses a wildcard family pattern; this exact appliance string is the only model covered by this record. Verify the old cartridge marking and the exact regional suffix.
- Samsung’s official HAF-QIN fits-model field includes the exact appliance model’s RF23A9071 family pattern; the model sheet plus Samsung warranty support identify the complete /AA appliance string. A family wildcard on the filter page is not a universal Samsung fit rule.
Never assume
- The HAF-QIN/EXP fits every Samsung refrigerator or another model just because its number looks similar.
- HAF-QIN is not interchangeable with HAF-CIN, HAF-CU1, HAF-DIN, or other Samsung filter families based on brand alone.
- A certification or contaminant-reduction claim covers only the contaminants and conditions listed by the manufacturer; it does not make unsafe or unknown-quality water safe.
- A bypass plug, filter housing, head, or manifold is a different part from the replaceable cartridge.

Cartridge specifications and limits
Samsung lists 300-gallon capacity for HAF-QIN and recommends a six-month replacement interval. Use only the cartridge family stated in the appliance’s official compatibility documentation; the page’s named fit models are not transferable across other Samsung families.
Replacement and fit boundary
Samsung’s replacement guide says to shut off the water supply before replacing, unlock/remove the existing cartridge as shown, install and lock the replacement, and flush the new filter. Location and indicator reset vary by refrigerator interface, so follow the exact model manual.
Samsung’s filter page uses a family-pattern fit entry. The complete appliance model is independently verified on Samsung’s model product/support record; this page does not claim universal fit for all nearby RF/RS units.
