How to Replace the ABN73019101 LG Refrigerator Water Filter Bypass Plug
1. Locate the Water Filter Compartment
Open your refrigerator door. The water filter housing is usually in the upper right or left corner inside the fridge.
2. Remove the Existing Water Filter or Bypass Plug
If a water filter is installed, twist it counterclockwise (left) and pull it out. If an old bypass plug is in place, follow the same process to remove it.
3. Insert the New Bypass Plug (ABN73019101)
Align the bypass plug with the filter housing opening. Insert it firmly into the slot. Twist it clockwise (right) until it locks into place.
4. Check for Secure Fit
Gently pull on the plug to ensure it is properly seated. If it feels loose, remove and reinsert it, making sure it locks in place.
5. Close the Refrigerator Door & Test Water Dispensing
Ensure the fridge door closes properly. If your refrigerator has a water dispenser, test it to confirm proper functionality.
Notes:
- The bypass plug is required when using the refrigerator without a water filter.
- Make sure the plug is properly installed to avoid leaks or water flow issues.
- If you experience any leaks, remove and reinstall the bypass plug securely.
