Replacing the Water Filter

The filter must be changed every 6 months or when the water filter indicator on the control panel lights turns on or the water dispenser output decreases.

• To purchase a replacement water filter:

  • Use replacement cartridge: LT1000P, LT1000PC, LT1000PCS or ADQ747935**

  • Visit your local dealer or distributor or contact the LG Electronics Customer Information Centre. For Further assistance, visit our website at lg.com.

• If the top shelf, located below the water filter, is in the highest position, it will need to be removed prior to replacing the water filter.

  • To remove the shelf, lift the rear of the shelf and pull it out.

  

• Remove the old water filter.

  • Lower or remove the top left shelf to allow the water filter to rotate all the way down. Pinch the sides to open the water filter cover.

  

  Note

  • Replacing the water filter causes a small amount of water (around 25 cc) to drain.

  • Wrap a cloth around the front end of the water filter cover to collect any leaking water. Hold the water filter upright, once it is removed, to prevent any remaining water from spilling out of the water filter.

• Pull the water filter downward and turn it counterclockwise before pulling it out. Make sure to rotate the filter down completely before pulling it out of the manifold hole.

  

• Replace with a new water filter.

  • Take the new water filter out of its packing and remove the protective cover from the o-rings. With the water filter tabs in the horizontal position, push the new water filter into the manifold hole and turn it clockwise until it stops.

  

• Close the water filter cover. The cover will click when closed correctly.

  

• After the water filter is replaced,

  • Models with water dispenser: dispense 10 liters of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system.

    Note

    • Do not dispense the entire 10 liters amount continuously. Press and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.

  • Models without water dispenser: dispose of the first full bucket of ice produced.

• After changing the filter, press and hold the Water Filter button for three seconds to reset the indicator light.
