If you have an LG fridge with a water filter, you need to reset the filter indicator after changing the filter to ensure you get accurate reminders for future replacements. The filter indicator is a light or a symbol on the fridge’s control panel that tells you when the filter needs to be changed. Resetting the filter indicator is easy and you can do it yourself in a few seconds. Here’s how to do it step by step.
To reset the filter indicator on your LG fridge, you need to locate the reset button or indicator on the fridge’s control panel and press and hold it for about 3 seconds or until it turns off. The reset button or indicator may be labeled as “Reset Filter”, “Reset Water Filter”, or have a water drop icon on it.

- To find the reset button or indicator inside the fridge compartment, open the fridge door and look for a button or a symbol that has a water drop icon or a “Reset Filter” or “Reset Water Filter” label on it. It may be on the top, side, or bottom of the control panel.
