Samsung refrigerator identification guide

How to find your full Samsung refrigerator model number

Copy the complete model code from the refrigerator label before checking a replacement water filter. A family code, serial number, or filter part number cannot identify one exact refrigerator SKU.

Find the product label

  1. Open the fresh-food compartment and look for a label on an interior side wall above the top shelf.
  2. If it is not visible there, check the lower-left exterior near the front. Samsung US identifies both as refrigerator label locations.
  3. Photograph the label in good light, then copy the field marked model or model code exactly as printed.
  4. If the label location differs on your unit, use the official Samsung US refrigerator support page or model-specific manual.

Keep the complete US SKU, including its printed suffix

A complete code can look like RF22K9381SR/AA. The characters before the slash identify the model configuration; the printed /AA suffix is part of the US SKU used by this exact-match release.

Never guess, auto-complete, or append /AA. Include it only when the refrigerator label itself shows it. An entry such as RF22K9381SR remains incomplete for this checker even when a similar US SKU exists.

Five published exact-SKU examples

These are the only Samsung US refrigerator SKUs in the current exact HAF-CIN/EXP release. Each link opens the shared checker; it does not create a compatibility promise or infer a match for another model.

What a positive result does—and does not—mean

A positive result requires an exact full-SKU match and a live published claim that names Samsung OEM HAF-CIN/EXP. It does not approve a family-prefix match, a missing suffix, or any third-party equivalent.
