The Samsung DA97-21261E refrigerator water filter case assembly houses and secures the refrigerator’s water filter for proper filtration system operation. Designed for installation within the refrigerator, this assembly holds the compatible water filter in position and provides the connection point for water flow through the filtration system. As water passes through the installed filter, the case helps maintain the filter’s proper placement and supports a secure connection with the refrigerator’s water line. Replacing a damaged filter case assembly can restore proper filter installation and water flow while supporting consistent operation of the filtration system. This part is suitable for repairs where the existing filter case is damaged or no longer provides a proper fit for the compatible filter.
