Introduction

This guide shows how to replace a water filter on a LG Refrigerator (Model: LFXS26973S). Replacing a water filter is important to ensure that a refrigerator continues to dispense clean water. A water filter needs to be replaced after exceeding the number of gallons which the filter is rated for. LG recommends changing the water filter every 200 gallons or every 6 months.

There are a few easy ways to know when to replace a water filter. A water filter needs to be replaced when there's a change in taste or even appearance. Otherwise, there are specialized tools to accurately measure how clean the water is.
