Water Filter for the LG LSXS263662 (LT800P)

LSXS263662 specifics — where the filter actually lives

Where the filter actually lives: at the base of the fresh-food compartment in most side-by-side builds — grille or lower rear, the same estate every side-by-side refrigerator in this family uses. This is a push-twist style bay: the cartridge locks with a short rotation after seating; if it rotates freely, it is not seated.

Order-day practicalities: the change light ignores the new cartridge until you reset it, and the first removal always takes more muscle than the manual implies. One prefix, one chassis family: LS is LG’s side-by-side designation proper, and the service literature files every one of these under the same cartridge line. The 62 suffix here is a revision index, not a different machine — trim and door hardware can shift between revisions, the filter bay does not.

LS vs LF — what the prefix tells you

LS versus LF is the first fork in the parts catalog: LS means side-by-side, LF means French-door. For filter shopping the distinction matters less than you would think — same line, different cabinet. The digits in the model number read as cabinet capacity (26 cu ft), a decent proxy for how hard the filter works in daily service.

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.
