LFXS29626W specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the LFXS29626W, the cartridge high on the fresh-food side in most French-door layouts — upper back or left wall, a spot that survives trim changes across the LF run. Mechanically the LFXS29626W uses a push-and-twist cartridge: seat the cartridge, give it the quarter turn, and the bay takes it from there.
Order-day practicalities: a first removal that fights a set o-ring, and a status light that needs a manual hold-to-reset before it acknowledges the new cartridge. Prefix literacy pays here: LG built these as French-door machines, and the filter bay inherits the geometry that implies, including where the dispenser feed runs. Finish codes such as 6W change the look, not the plumbing — order the cartridge by model, ignore the finish letter.
LF vs LS — what the prefix tells you
Two prefixes, two missions: The French-door/side-by-side split tracks the LF/LS prefixes — cartridge fit follows the water path, not the label on the door. Size class 29 cubic feet — worth knowing because a full household works a cartridge harder than the rated six months assumes.
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.

LFXS29626W filter questions
LFXS29626W filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
Hold the filter-reset control a few seconds after seating the new cartridge; placements vary by control panel, and the LFXS29626W manual’s filter-status page has the exact spot.
LFXS29626W with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No bypass needed: the LT700P bay closes on its own, and running empty simply means the water skips filtration until you seat a new cartridge.
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 LT700P 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 LFXS29626W?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the LT700P 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.
