[LG refrigerator - water purifier] Cold water dispensed by the refrigerator with water purifier is not cold.

Troubleshooting

Water purifiers and the refrigerator with water purifier differ from each other in the way of making cold water and thus the cold water temperatures may differ.

How the water purifiers cool water

The water purifier has a coil (a flow path) around the water tank that is cooled by a cooler.
Because cold water is made by passing the purified water through this coil (flow path), fresh water is cooled within 30 minutes after you have consumed the stored cold water.

How the refrigerator with water purifier cools water

The refrigerator with water purifier has a stainless water tank inside the fridge compartment, and as time elapses the temperature inside the fridge compartment cools water in the water tank.
If you have taken out a large amount of cold water, then a reasonable time must pass after refilling the water tank with fresh purified water before this water can be cooled sufficiently.
Therefore, if you have taken out lots of water continually, the cold water may not be cold enough compared with water purifiers that run on a different mechanism.
In addition, the refrigerator with water purifier may have a water storage temperature that is subject to change in accordance with the fridge temperature setting, frequency of door opening, and the amount of food stored.

If water does not cool after a long time has passed since the last use of water, check if the temperature of the fridge compartment is normal and whether the door has been frequently opened/closed.
