Overview
This 3-pack from Crystala Filters replaces the Samsung DA97-17376B and HAF-QIN/HAF-QIN/EXP refrigerator water filter, fitting Samsung RF23M and RF23M8570-series French-door models among others. It's an NSF 42 certified, coconut-shell carbon alternative to the OEM Samsung cartridge.
As with most third-party refrigerator filters, the value case here rests entirely on the compatibility list. Buyers should match their existing filter's part number or model number against Crystala's listed replacements, DA97-17376B, HAF-QIN, HAF-QIN/EXP, DA97-08006C among others, before ordering, since fridge filter housings vary.
- Replaces Samsung DA97-17376B and HAF-QIN/HAF-QIN/EXP filters
- NSF 42 certified, model CF17
- 97.9% chlorine reduction per independent lab testing
- Rated for 6-month or 200-gallon replacement cycle
Who it's for
If your refrigerator takes the Samsung HAF-QIN or DA97-17376B filter cartridge, including several RF23M8000-series models, this 3-pack undercuts the branded price without changing the housing fit. It's also reported to work in certain Dacor refrigerators that share the same filter design.
Pros and cons
- Reported easy, drop-in fit for compatible Samsung models
- Noticeably cheaper per filter than the Samsung branded version
- NSF 42 certified, coconut shell carbon filtration
- Outer filter handle fit reported as slightly imperfect
