How to Replace Your LG Refrigerator Water Filter

Welcome to the world of LG refrigerators, where clean and fresh tasting water is just a few simple steps away. In this guide, we will walk you through the process of replacing the water filter in your LG French door refrigerator. With our easy-to-follow instructions, you’ll have clean and refreshing water in no time. So let’s dive in!

Why Replace Your Water Filter Regularly?

Before we get started, let’s understand why it’s important to replace your water filter regularly. We recommend replacing your water filter every six months to ensure optimal performance. However, if you notice a decrease in water pressure from your water dispenser, it might be time to replace the filter sooner.

Step-by-Step Guide to Replacing Your Water Filter

1. Open the refrigerator doors and locate the filter housing, which is positioned at the far back left of the inside cabinet.

2. Remove any obstacles that might hinder the full range of motion of the filter housing, such as the top left shelf.

3. Press the push button on the filter housing and pull downward to release the old water filter. You may notice a small amount of water drainage, so keep a paper towel or cup handy to catch any waste.

4. When you first receive your LG French door refrigerator, it will come with a filter bypass plug. Keep this plug as a backup in case a replacement filter is not immediately available. The ice maker will not operate without a plug or filter in the filter compartment.

5. Open the new water filter by removing the plastic protective coating. Align the tabs on the side of the water filter with the housing and push it in, tilting it downwards for easier alignment. Lift the water filter up until you hear a click, indicating that it has securely locked into place.

6. After replacing the filter, we recommend flushing the system to remove any trapped air or contaminants. Dispense about two and a half gallons (or approximately five minutes) of water in cycles. Press and release the dispenser pad for 30 seconds on, and then wait for 60 seconds before repeating. This will ensure a thorough flush without overwhelming the system.
