Water Filter for the LG LFXC24726S (LT700P)

LFXC24726S specifics — where the filter actually lives

The LFXC24726S carries its water filter in the fresh-food compartment, typically the upper back wall in most French-door layouts — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. Mechanically it is a push-and-twist seat: two motions, one orientation, five minutes including the cleanup.

The recurring owner notes: flush before the first glass — new carbon beds shed fines for the first gallon or so, which is cosmetic, not contamination. One prefix, one chassis family: LF is LG’s French-door designation proper, and the service literature files every one of these under the same cartridge line. Trailing letters like 6S denote trim and finish: stainless, panel-ready, handle variants. The water path is identical across them.

LF vs LS — what the prefix tells you

The LF/LS pair divides this family by layout — LF marks French-door builds and LS marks side-by-side builds. Cross-checking the prefix before ordering is faster than returning the wrong cartridge. capacity 24 cu ft: a mid-to-full-size cabinet whose dispenser traffic sets the realistic change cadence.

Swap it in 5 minutes

• Press the release (if fitted), twist the old cartridge free, and pull it from the header.
• Wet the new cartridge’s o-ring with cold tap water so it seats without dragging.
• Push the cartridge square onto the header, then give it the locking quarter turn.
• Run two gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then hold the filter-reset control until the status light clears.
