Genuine Samsung DA29-10105J HAFEX/EXP External Inline Water Filter

Replace your existing external refrigerator filter with the genuine Samsung DA29-10105J HAFEX/EXP inline water filter. Designed for compatible Samsung refrigerators with an external water-filtration connection, this cartridge filters the incoming water line before water reaches the refrigerator dispenser and ice maker.

The Samsung HAFEX/EXP is certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for the reduction of chlorine taste and odor. It is a practical replacement for households noticing an unwanted chlorine taste, unpleasant water odor, or a refrigerator filter indicator showing that a change is due.

Why Choose the Samsung DA29-10105J Filter?

Genuine Samsung HAFEX/EXP Replacement

The DA29-10105J is an original Samsung replacement cartridge manufactured for compatible refrigerators that use the HAFEX/EXP external filtration system.

Using the exact cartridge code makes it easier to confirm compatibility and avoids confusion with Samsung internal filters such as HAF-CIN, HAF-QIN, or HAF-CUI.

External Inline Refrigerator Filtration

Unlike filters installed inside the refrigerator compartment, the Samsung DA29-10105J connects to the external water supply line.

This design is commonly used with compatible Samsung refrigerators that do not have a replaceable internal filter cartridge. The filter is normally positioned behind the refrigerator, beneath a nearby cabinet, or along the appliance water-supply line.

NSF 42 Certified Performance

The Samsung HAFEX/EXP is certified under NSF/ANSI Standard 42 for chlorine taste and odor reduction.

This certification relates to improving the aesthetic quality of drinking water. It should not be presented as certification for lead, cysts, pharmaceuticals, mercury, or other health-related contaminant reduction unless separate documentation supports those claims.

Fresher-Tasting Water and Ice

Chlorine can produce an unwanted chemical taste or odor in refrigerator water. The filtration media inside the DA29-10105J helps reduce these effects, supporting fresher-tasting water, cold drinks, and refrigerator ice.

Up to 500-Gallon Rated Capacity

Samsung lists the HAFEX/EXP with a rated capacity of up to 500 gallons.

Actual filter life can vary depending on:

• Household water consumption
• Incoming water quality
• Sediment levels
• Local water pressure
• Refrigerator and ice-maker use

Replace the filter when the refrigerator indicator turns red, when the rated capacity is reached, or sooner if water taste, odor, or flow changes noticeably.

Product Specifications

Compatibility Information

The Samsung DA29-10105J fits select refrigerators designed to use an external HAFEX/EXP water-filter cartridge.

Before ordering, check:

• The DA29-10105J number on your existing filter
• The HAFEX/EXP name on the cartridge label
• Your refrigerator model-number label
• The refrigerator owner’s manual
• The direction and connection style of your existing water line

Do not order based only on the Samsung brand name. Samsung refrigerators use several different internal and external filter systems that are not interchangeable.

Is DA29-10105J an Internal or External Filter?

The DA29-10105J is an external inline refrigerator water filter. It connects to the appliance’s incoming water line instead of twisting or pushing into a housing inside the refrigerator.

This distinction is important because HAFEX/EXP should not be confused with internal Samsung filters such as:

• HAF-CIN
• HAF-QIN
• HAF-CUI
• HAFCU1

Always compare the part number and installation style before purchasing.

How to Replace the Samsung HAFEX/EXP Filter

1. Turn off the cold-water supply leading to the refrigerator.
2. Dispense a small amount of water to reduce pressure in the line.
3. Locate the existing external inline filter.
4. Note the water-flow direction before removing the old cartridge.
5. Remove any retaining clips fitted around the connections.
6. Release the existing tubing according to the connector instructions.
7. Install the new DA29-10105J in the same flow direction as the old filter.
8. Secure the water-line connections and any retaining clips.
9. Restore the water supply slowly.
10. Inspect both filter connections carefully for leaks.
11. Flush the new filter according to the instructions supplied with the cartridge or refrigerator.
12. Reset the refrigerator filter indicator when applicable.

Connection fittings and installation arrangements can vary by refrigerator model and region. Consult the appliance manual or a qualified installer when the existing tubing or connection type does not match the new cartridge.
