LG Refrigerator: Water not entering water filter

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 01:26:24 -0700

Hi, I have an LG refrigerator, model LF29H8330S /00

The included LT1000P water filter is bone dry. This fridge automatically bypasses the filter if it doesn’t see one installed, so water and ice still dispense, but with unfiltered water. (Luckily not much of an issue, for we have good enough tap water, but I digress.)

Fridge is very new - installed ~1 year ago but didn’t have water hooked up until recently.

I’ve taken off the panel that covers the tank and plumbing, and I didn’t see anything obviously wrong, but I don’t know what I’m looking at, really.

I have tried:

Removing and replacing the filter with water off
Unplugging and plugging it back in
Removing and replacing the filter several times
I turn the filter until it stops.

Right now I’m thinking the included filter is faulty, incorrectly made, et cetera. Wondering if anyone else has this problem and how to fix it - I’ll try a new filter when possible.

LG Refrigerator: Ice maker not working

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 15:10:33 -0700

We have a French door refrigerator with a bottom freezer and an ice maker inside the freezer. It is less than 2 years old. The ice maker now makes a loud knocking sound and has stopped making ice. After searching online, I tried using a hair dryer on low which fixes it for about 2 days. Now LG wants to charge me a $349 fixed rate to fix it and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this flat rate program, especially with ice makers. Thanks!

LG Refrigerator: New LRFLC2716S Fridge is not cold enough.

Wed, 04 Feb 2026 18:26:27 -0700

My LG LRFLC2716S is two weeks old. It is not cold enough. It came set at 38 but when I checked with my infrared thermometer, everything in it was over 40%. I turned it down to the coldest setting, 33, and it's better but things are still 38-40%. It's most noticeable with milk and beverages. Is this how it is or can it be adjusted/fixed.

When ever my ice tray is filling water also is also coming out of the water dispenser on the front of the fridge. It only happens when my ice tray dumps and refills. I changed out water valve in the back os the fridge and it didn't solve the issue.

LG Refrigerator: Freezer Fluctuates 20 degrees every 6-8 hours

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 16:54:57 -0700

Have LRFCS25D3 acting very weird.

Freezer temp fluctuates from 0 to 20 degrees every 6-8 hours, while frig seems to stay in 38-45 range during same time.

Ran test with button on PCB board, evaporator fan runs during test, and have changed thermistor, but still constantly fluctuating.

Any ideas?

Possibly compressor relay?

Any advice appreciated.

LG Refrigerator LRFWS2906: The Light on my LG Water Dispenser Stopped Working

I have an LG French Door Refrigerator model LRFWS2906S. The light that used to come on, when using the water dispenser, stopped working. All the control panel lights work. Pushing and holding the Light Button turns on the display lights, but not the water dispenser light. I do not see any way to change an led bulb. Any suggestions? Thanks!

LG Refrigerator: LG Ice Maker Not Filling With Water - Dispenser Works Fine However

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 14:09:51 -0700

My LG LMXC23746S/00 stopped making ice but still dispenses water. I tried replacing the water inlet valve (the old one tested just fine for continuity across the solenoids), I replaced the ice maker itself (even tried two new parts in case I got a bad one), and then replaced the control board/PCB. None of those things resolved the issue. When I press the test/reset button to initiate the ice maker harvest cycle, the ice maker initiates the harvest cycle but then stops after the tray rotates all the way up. It stays in that position for like 15-20 min before rotating back down and water never goes in. Pressing the button should force it to rotate the tray, return it back to normal position, and then dispense water but it hangs up after rotating. The water fill tube appears to be clear and is not frozen. I am at a loss for what to do next. Any advice?

LG Refrigerator: How to remove freezer door from fridge with freezer underneath

Sat, 01 Nov 2025 14:14:03 -0700

have a french door/freezer underneath model LRFXC2606S

one of the metal slides has seized up so the freezer only partially opens, not enough to remove racks. I can see a screw on the good side rail that looks like it would disassemble the freezer door, but the seized rail is blocking the other side's screw. If I could remove the freezer door, I could get to the seized slide.

Is there other screws to remove the door from the sliding rails?

Is there another disassembly option besides me cutting through the bad rail to reach the screw?

LG Refrigerator: LG chill drawer cools but nothing works on the display panel.

LG Chill drawer cools but the display panel is inoperative like it is not getting power. I can't change the temperature and it doesn't have any illumination. Is the control board under the display panel? How do you take the panel off? Wiring harness is plugged in. It's just totally dead.

LG Refrigerator LFX28978: LG in-door icemaker won't dump ice into the bin

Wed, 08 Oct 2025 20:55:14 -0700

The tray fills up with water and freezes but won’t dump ice into the bin. Model LFX28978ST/02. The unit adds more and more water to the tray that is already filled with ice, so water runs out the door, down the side, and puddles on the floor. When I push the reset button the tray does INDEED turn, so the motor works. If I melt the ice block with a hair dryer and remove it from the tray, the icemaker seems to work in that it fills the tray with the right amount of water, it freezes, and then I can dump the normal cubes into the bin manually, using the reset button. If I don’t dump the ice manually, though, it never gets dumped, more water keeps getting added to the tray, the tray fills up to overflowing with ice, and I get water on the floor again.

LG Refrigerator LRMXS2806: The inner glass door of the right swing door shattered

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 16:30:22 -0700

As mentioned in the title, The inner glass door of the right swing door shattered

The inner glass door shattered and were unable to pinpoint how or when it happened, however we do have a toddler so it’s likely he accidently slammed the door too hard.

I’m trying to replace that part without having to buy the full door to replace it. Is this possible?

The part I found online is the full piece but I’m hoping it won’t cost this much replace the glass: https://lgparts.com/products/adc76265705

the fridge is still working fine and fully functions as is currently despite the glass being shattered.

Thanks in advance.
