- Samsung's replacement guide says to replace the filter every six months; the filter light runs on a six-month timer. [S3]

Certified alternatives
We didn't find a Waterdrop HAF-QIN replacement, and we haven't confirmed any third-party HAF-QIN replacement in NSF's database. Samsung says to avoid third-party filters because they may cause leaks and damage the fridge. [S3]
How to tell HAF-QIN from HAF-CIN
Samsung says its fridges take one of three filters: HAF-CIN, HAF-QIN or HAFCU1. The model number printed on your existing filter tells you which. [S3] Samsung uses the same replacement steps for HAF-CIN and HAF-QIN, so the install feels the same even though the filters are different. [S3]
If your old filter says HAF-CIN or DA29-00020B, see the HAF-CIN guide instead.

What we could not verify
- Which older filter HAF-QIN replaced. We didn't find a Samsung source that says, so we left it out.
- HAF-QIN-specific NSF/ANSI 401 certification. Samsung Canada lists NSF 42 and 53 for this filter; Samsung's US guide says its water filters meet 42, 53 and 401 without naming each filter.
- NSF database confirmation (we haven't checked NSF's listings for DA97-17376B yet).
