Replacing the water filter in the LG refrigerator ensures that water and ice taste fresh and free from contaminants. Over time, the water filter can become clogged with impurities, affecting the quality of your drinking water and ice cubes. Frequently replacing the filter ensures that the contaminants are removed effectively, ensuring that your water and ice maintain a fresh and crisp taste. The steps to change the water filter vary slightly depending on your LG refrigerator model.
Always use genuine LG-brand filters and ensure they are not expired. Avoid using third-party filters or keeping the same filter for longer than the recommended six months. LG advises replacing the water filter every six months, as any issues caused by exceeding this timeframe are not covered under warranty.
