Replacing the Water Filter

• Replace the water filter:

  • Approximately every six months.

  • When the indicator turns on.

  • When the water dispenser output decreases.

• To purchase a replacement water filter:

  • Visit your local dealer or distributor

  • Search using "water filter" on lg.com

  • Use replacement cartridge: ADQ72910906

• To remove the old water filter, turn the filter counterclockwise and then pull down and out. Make sure to rotate the filter down completely before pulling it out of the manifold hole.

  Caution

  • Make sure to turn off the household water supply.

  

  Note

  • Replacing the water filter causes a small amount of water (around 1 oz. or 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.

• To replace with a new water filter, remove the red cap from the new filter.

  

  Note

  • The substitute cap must be retained for the future. If the filter is removed and not replaced, it is necessary to reinstall the substitute cap to prevent water leaks from the filter housing.

• Insert the filter into the filter receptacle on the left side of the refrigerator compartment.

  

• Push the water filter up into the filter receptacle and rotate it clockwise to lock it into place. Once installed correctly, you should not be able to rotate the filter clockwise any more.

  

• After the water filter is replaced, dispense 2.5 gallons (10 liters) of water (flush for approximately 5 minutes) to remove trapped air and contaminants from the system.

  Note

  • Do not dispense the entire 2.5 gallon (10 liters) amount continuously. Press and release the dispenser pad for cycles of 30 seconds ON and 60 seconds OFF.
