LSC27914ST specifics — where the filter actually lives
On the LSC27914ST, the cartridge low on the fresh-food side or behind the base grille in most side-by-side layouts, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. Mechanically it is a push-and-twist seat: the keyed entry means no cross-threading, and the locking turn is short enough to do one-handed.
Two quirks worth knowing before you order: expect dribble at the bay on removal even with the supply off, and remember the indicator will not self-clear — hold the reset control. Prefix literacy pays here: LG uses it across the side-by-side range, which means shared cartridge economics — one media family, dozens of cabinet variants, all drinking from the same parts catalog. Trim code ST: cosmetic variants of one chassis, one cartridge family.
LS vs LF — what the prefix tells you
Catalog shorthand: split by cabinet mission (side-by-side versus French-door), joined by cartridge line — that is the LS/LF story. 27 cubic feet of cabinet — the dispenser sees heavy traffic at that size, and heavy traffic ages cartridges faster.
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.

LSC27914ST filter questions
LSC27914ST filter light will not turn off — what is the reset step?
With the new cartridge seated, press and hold the filter reset until the light clears — panel placement differs, so the LSC27914ST manual’s filter section has the exact control for your trim.
LSC27914ST with no water filter installed — safe, or does it need a bypass?
No — the LT500P bay seals on the cartridge itself, so removing it just means unfiltered water until the next change, not a leak.
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 LT500P 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 LSC27914ST?
Every six months or at the rated gallon capacity, whichever comes first — the LT500P 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.
