Filter Case Assembly DA97-21797D – Fix Water Flow Fast No water from your Samsung refrigerator dispenser is almost always traced back to a failed or cracked filter case assembly. In most Samsung French door refrigerators, the filter case assembly (DA97-21797D) houses the water filter and routes pressurized water through the dispenser and ice maker system.

If the old housing cracked due to over-tightening or a stuck filter, the filter itself may be damaged. Starting with a new filter in a new housing ensures a clean seal and full flow from day one. ⚙️ Installation Skill Level: Moderate — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing. Remove the existing filter and housing assembly from the refrigerator compartment, disconnect the water line fittings, transfer any retaining clips or brackets to the new housing, reconnect the water lines, and install a fresh filter. Restore water supply and power, then run 2–3 gallons of water through the dispenser to flush the new system before use. ✓ Compatible Models Confirmed compatible with select Samsung French door and side-by-side refrigerator models.

The filter should turn only a quarter-turn to lock — if it feels stiff, do not force it. Forcing a misaligned or wrong-size filter cracks the housing locking tabs and causes exactly the failure this part fixes. Hand-tight is correct.
