Frequently asked
What water filter does a RS261MDBP/XAA refrigerator use?
The RS261MDBP/XAA uses the DA29-00020B water filter.
Does the DA29-00020B remove lead?
Yes - the DA29-00020B is NSF/ANSI 53 certified to reduce lead.
Should I buy the OEM filter or an aftermarket one?
The OEM DA29-00020B is the safe, exact-fit choice. A cheaper aftermarket filter can fit the same slot too - just confirm it carries its own independent NSF certification for the contaminants you care about, since a generic aftermarket filter without certification isn't proven to remove anything.
How often should I replace the DA29-00020B?
Most refrigerator filters are replaced every 6 months regardless of the exact model - use your fridge's filter-change indicator as the trigger if it has one.
Where is the water filter on a RS261MDBP/XAA?
Location varies by fridge design - commonly inside the fridge compartment (upper right or lower kickplate/grille) or in the water line behind the unit. Check your owner's manual for the exact spot on this model.
