Overview
Waterdrop WD-F45 is a 3-pack refrigerator water filter built to replace Samsung's DA97-17376B and HAF-QIN cartridges, matched to a long list of specific RF-series fridge models rather than sold as a universal fit.
The core decision here is compatibility, not filtration quality: this filter fits DA97-17376B (HAF-QIN) specifically and will not fit the similarly numbered DA29-00020B (HAF-CIN), so matching the part number on the old cartridge matters more than the model number on the fridge door. It carries NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 certification, and each cartridge is rated for about 316 gallons over six months.
- 3-filter pack, 6 months each
- NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 certified
- Coconut-shell activated carbon
- Rated for 316 gallons per filter
Who it's for
Fits Samsung fridge owners whose current filter is stamped DA97-17376B, HAF-QIN, or one of the listed RF-series models, who want a cheaper alternative to the OEM part. Not for anyone whose fridge takes the HAF-CIN filter, since the two look similar but are not interchangeable.
Pros and cons
- NSF/ANSI 42 and 372 certified filtration
- No-tool install matching the original filter slot
- 3 filters cover about 18 months of use
- Only fits DA97-17376B/HAF-QIN fridges, not HAF-CIN models
- Buyers under warranty may prefer OEM instead
- Fit depends on matching the old filter's exact part number
Performance notes
Filtration runs through activated carbon sourced from coconut shells, which is what reduces chlorine taste, sediment, and rust rather than the cartridge shape alone. The company states it holds up through 100,000 pressure cycles, the leak-resistance claim buyers care about most since a failed cartridge means a wet floor, not just bad-tasting water.
