When the water filter indicators turns on, you have to change he water filter. After changing the water filter, press and hold the Express Freeze / Water Filter button for three seconds to turn the indicator light off. You need to change the water filter approximately every six months.
If the water filter indicator will not reset, this may indicate that the function can only be reset every 6 months like clockwork. To reset the water filter indicator on most models, press and hold the filter button for 3-5 seconds. Refer to your owner’s manual for instructions on resetting the water filter indicator. Please find following a few illustration examples of various refrigerator control panel series of buttons.
If the control panel is locked, the water filter indicator cannot be reset. To unlock the dispenser, press and hold the lock button for 3 seconds.
If the water filter indicator has not reached zero, it may not be possible to reset the filter indicator at this time. Some models can only be reset when the filter status indicator reaches zero despite customers having been proactive in replacing the water filter inside their refrigerator in advance.
For the obvious reason of real estate limitation on an appliance’s control panel, some buttons are assigned dual functionality. There is the primary function in larger size lettering and the secondary function identified by an asterisk followed by smaller size font immediately underneath the primary function text.
To activate the primary function, simply press the button dead center on the main text. To activate secondary function, PRESS & HOLD DOWN button for 3 seconds or longer making sure your fingertip is applying pressure dead center on the main text.
Some customers have expressed concerns over inability to get button to respond successfully. Control panel soft membrane buttons are incredibly sensitive. Customers need to press button dead center else it will be unresponsive.
Reiterating the concept, illustrated in the above case and, as it applies to refrigerators, customer wishing to Increase Ice Production or Speed of Freezing would press the ICE PLUS or Express Frz. button (depending on their refrigerator model) and quickly release it. However, if the intention is about RESETTING Water Filter Indicator Light, customers would PRESS & HOLD DOWN the ICE PLUS, Express Frz. or Water Filter button (depending on their refrigerator model) for 3 seconds or longer until the Water Filter LED Light Indicator turns OFF.
Customers preferring the ease of mind and simple method can RESET either water filter or air filter directly from their LG ThinQ app as long as the refrigerator has been added to the list of ThinQ appliances in their account.
