To remove the air filter from your LG refrigerator, you typically need to locate the filter cover and turn it.
Replacing the air filter in your LG refrigerator is a simple maintenance task that helps keep the air inside your fridge fresh and free of odors. The process usually involves locating the filter and detaching its cover.
Locating the Air Filter
LG refrigerator air filters are commonly found in the fresh food compartment. Look for a filter cover, often a round or square casing, usually located on the back wall of the refrigerator or sometimes on the side.
Steps to Remove the Filter
Once you've found the filter cover, follow these general steps to remove the air filter:
- Open the refrigerator door: Ensure the refrigerator is accessible.
- Locate the air filter cover: Identify the plastic cover protecting the filter element.
- Detach the cover: Based on the provided reference, you need to turn the filter cover to the right to unlock and remove it. Some models might use a push mechanism or a different turning direction, but for models similar to the one shown in the reference, turning right is the method.
- Remove the old filter: Once the cover is off, the old air filter element should be accessible. Simply pull it straight out.
Note: Always refer to your specific LG refrigerator model's user manual for the most accurate instructions, as locations and removal methods can vary slightly between models.
What's Next?
After removing the old filter, you'll typically insert a new replacement filter in its place and then reattach the cover by reversing the removal steps (e.g., aligning it and turning left until it locks).
Here's a simple table summarizing the key action from the reference:
| Component | Action for Removal | Direction (per reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Air Filter Cover | Turn to unlock/detatch | Right |
By turning the filter cover to the right, as shown in the reference, you can access and remove the air filter to replace it.
