LG French Door Refrigerator - Water Filter Replacement

  • Welcome to the LG customer support channel.

  • Your LG French door refrigerator comes equipped with a water filtration system which provides you with clean fresh tasting water.

  • Today we will show you how to properly replace the water filter on your LG French door refrigerator.

  • Before you start, we recommend that you replace your water filter about every 6 months.

  • Your LG French door refrigerator will indicate when the filter needs to be replaced.

  • Additionally you might want to replace your water filter, if the water pressure from your water dispenser noticeably decreases in pressure.

  • To purchase replacement water filter cartridges, visit your local appliance dealer or parch distributor.

  • If located in the USA, you can also call 1-800-243-0000

  • If located in Canada, please call 1-888-LGCANADA

  • Both numbers are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

  • When ordering, have on hand the replacement water filter cartridges part number: ADQ36006101.

  • This part number can be found on the water filter as well as in your owner’s manual.

  • To replace your water filter, follow these steps:

  • Open the refrigerator doors.

  • The filter housing is located on the far back left of the inside cabinet.

  • Remove any obstacles that impede the water filter housing’s full range of motion.

  • This may include the top left shelf.

  • Press the Push button on the filter housing and pull downward.

  • Remove the old water filter by pulling all the way downward.

  • Then gently pull towards you until it releases and pops out.

  • At this point, there may be a small amount of water drainage.

  • To catch any waste, use a paper towel or cup.

  • When you first receive your LG French Door Refrigerator, you must install the water filter located in the package.

  • When opening the filter housing for the first time, there will be a filter bypass plug used in place of the filter.

  • Keep this plug.

  • You might need it if a replacement filter is unavailable.

  • The icemaker will not operate without a plug or filter in the filter compartment.

  • Open the new water filter by removing the plastic protective coating.

  • To install the fill into the filter housing, align the tabs on the side of the water filter with the housing and push in.

  • This helps by tilting the water filter down when aligning and pushing in.

  • When popped in, lift the water filter all the way up.

  • Close the filter lid by lifting up until you hear a click.

  • After replacing the filter, we recommend you flush about 2 and 1/2 gallons or approximately 5 minutes of dispensing to remove any trapped air or contaminates from the system.

  • Do not dispense the entire 2 and 1/2 gallon amount continuously.

  • Doing so may overload the system.

  • Instead press and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds on and 60 seconds off.

  • You are now ready to enjoy clean and fresh tasting water provided by your LG refrigerator.

  • Thanks for watching the LG customer support channel.

  • We hope you enjoy your LG experience.
