LFXS28968S/00 specifics — where the filter actually lives
The filter bay on the LFXS28968S/00 high on the fresh-food side in most French-door layouts — upper back or left wall — usually a kneeling-height or shoulder-height swap, not a teardown. This is a push-twist style bay: the short locking turn after the press is what keeps the seal honest between changes.
Two quirks worth knowing before you order: flush before the first glass — new carbon beds shed fines for the first gallon or so, which is cosmetic, not contamination. Read the prefix and the maintenance writes itself: the LF run is LG’s French-door series; across the run, the filter bay is one of the constants. Suffix 00 = production revision; filtration hardware was not part of the revision cycle.
LF vs LS — what the prefix tells you
Two prefixes, two missions: The door count differs — French-door against side-by-side — but the bay and the cartridge order do not. capacity 28 cubic feet: 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.

LFXS28968S/00 filter questions
Reset procedure for the change-filter alert on the LFXS28968S/00?
Lock in the new cartridge first, then hold the reset control for a few seconds — the LFXS28968S/00 manual documents the button for each panel variant.
Is a bypass plug required for the LFXS28968S/00 when the cartridge is removed?
No — run it empty if you like; the 1000P bay needs no bypass plug, it simply passes water through untreated.
Are off-brand filters safe for a LG refrigerator?
Certified aftermarket cartridges are built to the same NSF test standards as the OEM part, and federal warranty law (Magnuson-Moss) protects your coverage when you use them.
Why is the OEM 1000P cartridge so much more expensive?
Part of the OEM price is the badge and the distribution chain. Certified alternatives meet the same test standards at a lower unit price, especially in multi-packs.
How often should I replace the filter in my LFXS28968S/00?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the 1000P class cartridges all share that service interval.
Do I need to turn off the water supply to change it?
No — the bay is designed for a live swap. Expect a small dribble, keep a towel in reach, and flush a couple of gallons through the new cartridge before the first glass.
