[LG Refrigerator] Water From Dispenser Not Cold Enough

Troubleshooting

Let's find out more.

The temperature of water dispensed from a standard water purifier and a refrigerator water dispenser may differ due to the appliance's different cooling methods.

Wait! Here are more tips.

How a Water Purifier Cools Water

Water purifiers use a cooling unit and a coil (water path) that surrounds a cold water reservoir.
Filtered water flows through this coil, becoming chilled. This process allows the water to cool down within 30 minutes after dispensing.

How a Refrigerator Water Dispenser Cools Water

Refrigerator water dispensers use a stainless steel water tank located inside the refrigerator compartment.
The water inside the tank cools down over time due to the refrigerator's temperature.
If a large amount of cold water is dispensed, the tank refills with filtered water, and it takes time for this newly added water to be chilled.
Therefore, if you frequently dispense large amounts of cold water, the water temperature may not be as cold as expected due to the different cooling mechanism compared to a standard water purifier.
Also, the water temperature in a refrigerator dispenser can fluctuate depending on the refrigerator's temperature setting, how often the door is opened, and the amount of food stored inside.

Try this.

If the water is not chilled after some time, check the refrigerator's temperature setting and usage environment, such as how often the door is opened.
