Samsung HAF-QIN (DA97-17376B) Refrigerator Water Filter: Specs, Compatibility & Wholesale

The Samsung HAF-QIN (DA97-17376B) is the genuine OEM refrigerator water filter used across contemporary Samsung French-door and side-by-side models, and Safe Appliances supplies it wholesale at dealer pricing, in bulk, with OEM quality and a low return rate. This guide covers what the HAF-QIN is, full specifications, what it reduces, its OEM cross-reference numbers and compatible models, how to install and maintain it, and why genuine OEM matters for resellers.

HAF-QIN, DA97-17376B and the DA97-08006C housing

HAF-QIN and DA97-17376B refer to the same genuine Samsung cartridge. The filter sits in the DA97-08006C filter-system housing inside the refrigerator. It is a twist-and-lock cartridge used on Samsung models from about 2017 onward. Important: the HAF-QIN is designed for HAF-QIN housings and is not compatible with the older DA29-00020B / HAF-CIN system – always match the housing before ordering.

Full specifications

What the HAF-QIN reduces

The genuine cartridge is certified to four NSF/ANSI standards and reduces a broad range of contaminants:

• NSF/ANSI 42 – aesthetic effects: chlorine taste and odor, and Class I particulates.
• NSF/ANSI 53 – health effects: over 99% of lead, plus mercury, benzene, asbestos and cysts.
• NSF/ANSI 401 – emerging contaminants: trace pharmaceuticals, BPA, herbicides and pesticides.
• NSF/ANSI 372 – lead-free material compliance.

Its high-grade activated carbon block delivers cleaner, better-tasting water and ice without stripping out beneficial minerals.

How to install or replace the HAF-QIN

1. Locate the cartridge – usually inside the fresh-food compartment (upper area) in the DA97-08006C housing.
2. Turn the old cartridge about a quarter turn and pull it straight out.
3. Insert the new HAF-QIN and twist until it locks into place – no tools needed.
4. Run about 2-3 gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines and clear trapped air.
5. Reset the filter indicator (hold the filter or reset button on the control panel for about 3 seconds).

When to replace and maintenance

Replace about every 6 months or 300 gallons, whichever comes first – the control panel’s filter indicator turns red when the threshold is reached. Replace sooner if you notice:

• Reduced water or ice dispenser flow;
• A returning chlorine taste or odor;
• The filter-status indicator turning red;
• Cloudy or off-tasting water.

An exhausted carbon block stops reducing contaminants effectively and can restrict flow. The regular 6-month cycle also makes the HAF-QIN a strong repeat-order item for resellers.

Why genuine OEM

Genuine OEM HAF-QIN cartridges guarantee exact fit in the DA97-08006C housing and the full NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401 and 372 performance. For retailers and repair companies, that keeps returns and callbacks low, which protects margin on volume and builds repeat trust with end customers.

Troubleshooting

• Filter will not lock: confirm you have a HAF-QIN for the DA97-08006C housing – it will not fit the older HAF-CIN system.
• No or slow water after replacement: make sure the cartridge is fully seated and locked, then flush trapped air by running the dispenser.
• Sputtering or air in the line: normal for the first minute or two after a change – keep flushing until the stream is steady.
• Cloudy water: usually trapped air, which is harmless and clears after flushing.
• Leaking: re-seat the cartridge, confirm it is the correct model, and check the seal.
