LG LT500P vs LT600P vs LT700P Refrigerator Water Filter

This is the most important section if you are unsure which LG refrigerator water filter to order.

How do I check my current filter part number?

The part number is printed directly on the filter currently installed in your refrigerator. The filter housing on most LT500P compatible models is located inside the fresh food compartment or at the base grille. Remove the existing filter and check the label before ordering to avoid a mismatch.

What happens if I order the wrong filter?

An incorrectly ordered filter will not seat properly in the housing and will not deliver effective water filtration. In some cases it may appear to fit but leave gaps at the housing connection that allow unfiltered water to pass through to the dispenser and ice maker. Always order by part number rather than by appearance or size.

How Often Should You Buy a Replacement LG LT500P Filter?

Order a fresh LT500P every 6 months or 500 gallons, whichever comes first. The LT500P carries the highest gallon capacity of any filter in the LG lineup at 500 gallons, meaning most households with standard water consumption will reach the 6 month mark well before hitting the gallon threshold. A saturated carbon block past its service life stops reducing chlorine, lead, and VOCs effectively and may begin releasing previously captured contaminants back into the water. Replacing on schedule rather than waiting for taste or flow changes maintains consistent filtration performance through the full service life.

How to Install the LG LT500P Refrigerator Water Filter

1. Locate the filter housing inside the LG refrigerator fresh food compartment or base grille depending on your model
2. Twist the old filter counterclockwise until it releases from the housing
3. Pull the old LT500P filter straight out
4. Align the new filter with the housing inlet and insert it firmly
5. Twist clockwise until it locks securely into position
6. Run 2 to 3 gallons of water through the dispenser before drinking
7. Reset the filter indicator light per the LG refrigerator user guide

FAQs

Where can I buy the LG LT500P refrigerator water filter?

You can order the LG LT500P directly from the shop link on this page. Confirm the part number against your existing filter label before completing your purchase to avoid ordering the wrong filter for your model.

Is the LG LT500P the same as 5231JA2002A or ADQ72910901?

Yes. 5231JA2002A, ADQ72910901, and LT500PC are alternative part numbers that refer to the same LT500P filter format. If your refrigerator currently shows any of those codes on the existing filter label, the LT500P is the correct replacement to order.

How is the LT500P different from the LT600P or LT700P?

The LT500P has the highest rated filter capacity in the LG lineup at 500 gallons compared to 300 gallons for the LT600P and 200 gallons for the LT700P. All three filters carry NSF 42 and 53 certification and use twist-in designs but have different housing tolerances specific to their compatible model ranges and are not interchangeable.

Does the LG LT500P filter water going to the ice maker as well as the dispenser?

On most compatible LG refrigerator models the LT500P serves both the water dispenser and the ice maker from a single filter housing. Confirm this against your specific model in the LG user guide to verify whether the LT500P covers both functions on your unit.

Why is my water flow slow after installing a new LT500P filter?

Slow flow immediately after installation is usually caused by air trapped in the filter or housing during the swap. Running 2 to 3 gallons through the dispenser clears trapped air and carbon fines and typically restores normal flow. If flow remains restricted after flushing, check that the filter is fully locked and that household water pressure falls within the 30 to 120 PSI operating range.

Can I use an aftermarket filter instead of the LG LT500P?

Aftermarket filters may physically fit the housing but certification levels and contaminant reduction performance vary widely between manufacturers. Using a filter that does not carry NSF 42 and 53 certification means contaminant reduction claims are unverified. For consistent, tested performance in your LG refrigerator, a certified replacement rated for the LT500P housing is the more reliable choice.
