- Connecting the waterline to the tap and the LG plumbing Refrigerator
Note on the filter directions!
Some external water filters do not have an arrow to guide the direction of the filter.
These filters should have water drop symbol instead. The tip of the drop is the waterline direction to the refrigerator, the rounding of the drop towards the water tap source. - Наука та технологія
Thank you SO MUCH for not over complicating this. I just wanted to confirm what I'll be doing in the next few days, and you showed me exactly what I NEEDED to see, and Nothing more! Thank you!
Bro, who has a faucet like that behind their fridge in the kitchen? plastic hose is begging for a leak in the future anyway
@@Hyack57 it's in Europe, or at least not the US, check out the electric outlet.
you are welcome

great video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is this the same steps for doing the ice cube maker ????
What about the pin like screw.. do I need to have that in the water line or because that was in the kit that was my mom bought. ??
You are a very good teacher thank you so much
You are very welcome
why you lie for
that fitting that connects to the tap just exploded and flooded my house, thanks LG
Sorry to hear that.
Should have used a water block device
And lg should suply them
Gracias por su vídeo. Bendiciones🙋
Always happy to help.
@@LGSAE Hi i have replaced the water filter with an LG replacement cartridge but the water is now cloudy. Can you help?
@@jodiewhittaker5158 Did you flush it with at least 2 liters? Sometimes you need to ensure the "carbon" is flushed. Not harmful, you can drink it.
Thank you!
Awesome video TY!
Glad you enjoyed it!
We just got our LG fridge today but we don't have the water inlet valve part, which I find very strange when it has the ice cubes/water function. We have the wireless LAN Module (LCW-010).
Are you sure you have a plumbing model or a water tank inside the fridge part?
@LG Customer Support Europe Official Hi, I just bought the non-plummed version, just for curiosity, is it possible to modulate it to have it plummed by connecting the parts like shown in this video? Thanks!
No, unfortunately not. The main electronics are not designed to treat is as plumbed model, since your unit has a tank, pump and additional valves.
BUEN VIDEO PERO DONDE PUEDO COMPRAR LAS PARTE O LA INFORMACION DE LAS MEDIDAS DEL MANGUERA Y TUERCAS, LG AYUDA POR FAVOR
What about water pressure? Do you need a valve to control pressure to the fridge?
These valves + controls are already in the refrigerator
Hi, I have seen on the instructions that a external water filter needs to be fitted between the water mains and the fridge. Is this correct? I have not been supplied with the external water filter
That is correct. In some markets the external filter may not be supplied with the standard accessories.
@@LGSAE so just to clarify, if I didn’t get one supplied, I will have to buy one? And if so, is it one specific to the model or does one type work with all that need to be plumbed in?
Hi. I just recently joined you. So can you please tell me how to hook my maytag 2 door fridge/freezer. I see the new cord piece wrapped up in my fridge. So do I take it out and hook it to what for the water and ice to work
Dear Angela, if this video does not answer your question I suggest you contact your local helpdesk.
is the grey adapter which fits to water main supplied with the fridge?
yes, it should have been supplied. If not, please contact your local LG support center.
I’m guessing that the water line is 1/4”. What size is the nut that slides over the tube and threads on to the fridge?
Mark Yuncke 1/4 compression nut
@@nickq9756 This is not a 1/4" compression nut. I'm trying to fit a 1/4" pipe to this but the 1/4" fittings I have do not fit.
@@chrispage4764 Exactly. I am wondering if it's metric, somewhere between 1/4 & 3/8
@@louisbrueggen6020 I think this is a 10mm I was also looking to use a 1/4" pipe but it doesn't fit well
Exacto. Rosca de 10 mm y tubo de 1/4 de pulgada. Es exclusiva de LG y su numero de pieza es 6631JA3003D
This should be more obvious in you installation guide... especially after I spent an hour peeling away protective tape and magnetic plastic from everywhere... (still have to do the freezer drawers yet! 🤯) So... seriously a simple arrow on a piece of tape or plastic wrap would be nice.
Apologies. Sometimes videos assist the user better than a written manual, but either way the instructions should always be clear. The latest filter have a water drop instead of an arrow, with the point directing to the water tap side and the rounding of the drop towards the refrigerator.
Totally agree
do we need any external pipe or something or we can directly just start the fridge and start using it.
you need the water pipe that was supplied with the box, together with the water tap connector. When all is connected you can simply start using it. It is advised to flush the system by tapping and throwing away a few liters of water before using it.
Is the waterline feature available for the instaview model?
We have several Instaview models, some with fixed waterconnection, some without. Please contact your local LG Call Centre to see what is available in your country.

Hi thank you so much for this video. Really helpful .. i accidentally dropped that rubber cap into the adjacent space inside. Is this a concern ?
You're welcome!
Como faço prá compra essas conexões
How long is the waterline poly tube from the factory?
Depends on the product, anything from 4m to 6m.
Can I do same like this for copper water line? Will that freezer inlet will corrode copper line?
you cannot attach a copper pipe to that inlet, and it is not a freezer inlet, it is a water valve.
Oh. I connected copper line with brass compression to connect to that inlet. am I wrong for that?
@@dechentseten2163 That is not correct. It should be our plastic tubes. The connection can corrode over time causing a leakage or bad tasting water.
Is this the delivery man’s job? I had it delivered and the water supply wasn’t working. I assumed it would take maybe a day to start working. I called the delivery man and he bluntly said he didn’t do it. Am I supposed to do it? Do I have to move the fridge?
The instructions I downloaded from LG state the copper tubing or PEX tubing should be 1/4 inch OD.
All the PEX tubing for potable water that I found are sized by nominal sizes. So if If you add 1/8 inch to a nominal size to get 1/4 inch OD you need a 1/8 inch nominal size tube. These don't exist.
What I found was Polyethylene (as opposed to cross-linked polyethylene - PEX) tubing at Home Depot with an OD of 1/4 inch. The color is a translucent white that does not match the video. The store's website states that "Potable Water" is an application of this tubing.
What are the precise specs of the tubing used in the video?
Have people used Polyethylene?
Any clarification would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I know it's been a few years - but did you ever find a tubing that works here? I have spent a crazy amount of time and bought tons of different kits that don't work
@@alexdelara8098 I'm seriously at my wit's end. Three different stores, 6 different attempts. PEX, shark bite, sizes that don't exist...still not connected.
Is any video of how to clean the dripping tray, and the pipe of it? Thx! 😊
No but it is not really clear which dripping tray you mean?
the connection in my fridge is pushed inside a cardboard plate, i cant make the connection becus of this, is this normal? do i have to remove cardboard plate in order to connect?
Can I add those 5 gallon bottle?
I accidentally cross-threaded the input. Can I replace just that part or do I have to replace the entire valve assembly?
Depends if the valve assembly threading is damaged. If so and you do not wish to completely exchange the valve assembly, you may be covered by taping the water hose on the back instead of locking it with the nut, of course at own risk. Otherwise replacing the valve is the only option.
Hey, can anyone confirm if the water coming out of the dispenser is cold (chilled) or is it the same temperature as when opening the tap? Thanks.
It should be cold as there is a (small) internal water tank inside.
So do I then turn the tap on outside once it’s screwed in? Just leave the tap on?
indeed, the tap should always be open when connected.
Does anyone know if I can swap this type of fitting to a water tank rather than mains
You could, but you do need a certain water pressure, as indicated in the manuals. In case the owners manual does not contain this info, you may want to consult your local LG Helpdesk.
what is that connector called? can you send a link to buy that?
ebay or amazon?
Not sure which connector you mean, but I think you mean the lock nut. We do not communicate part number in our comments, because they may be different depending on the model you have. Please check with tour local LG support center.
How are you people not using a sleeve?
Fairly easy to connect up, just did mine now - water at mains is on, feeding line to fridge, but no water coming out? Anything else I can check? Blocks somewhere?
Same issue here
@@codyc8277 I worked it out... fairly simple, I'd forgotten to put a new filter in... lol. It won't run without one.
I’ve put the new filter in, still no water, any thoughts?
@@KhangNghi according to the manual it may be due to something in the pipe that's blocking it, could even be a build up of calcium. try blowing through the pipe at the rear? use a toothpick to ensure the inlet and outlet doesn't have anything stuck in it.
@@KhangNghi you either need to replace the little pump down there, or you need to check the wiring connecting to it.
Can I connect it to a 25litter bottle instead of a tap
No. You can only do that if you have a pump with max 5 bar pressure.
Does it HAVE yo be connected with a line!! Can't I fill it up with water!! Some models have internal 3 L tank!! True!!
This model has to be connected to the line, other wise it does not work. Other models have an internal tank that can be filled indeed.
Can u please help me with which models have internal water tank that doesn't need water connection, Thank you
@@lolo9111111 That depends on your country. Best you contact your local Call Center, and it is only on SideByside (American fridge) models.
Does it have to be connected to a cold water supply to come out cold?
If you connect it to hot water, you will for sure make the cooling process go off. the lines go through the freezer part (isolated) but still imagine 60 degrees Celsius in the Freezer, that is continuous Defrost
Don’t connect to hot water line ……. REPEAT DO NOT CONNECT TO HOT WATER.that’s a no brainer.you will void the warranty and your ice maker will bite the dust.it will fail and then you need another brand new fridge.because there will be no warranty
Idiot question
i just bought a new lg fridge gslv70pzte but lg water filter ADQ73693903 has no instructions about which must be the water flow direction at the filter! Can you help me with that??
The direction does not matter. Officially it's stated that the point of the water drop on the filter should point in the direction of the refrigerator, but the filter structure is universal (direction-wise).
Buenas tardes acabo de comprar un refrigerador Refrigerador Side-by-Side con UVnano | Door-in-Door® 27 cu.ft | Linear Inverter y quiero saber que se hace para instalar la primera vez y si es necesario algún filtro o no por que el refrigerador me llego sin ningun filtro, agradecería su ayuda
Dear Miguel, if you put your question/remark in English we can answer it.
@@LGSAE Just copy and paste the comment into an online translator! Miguel said his new side-by-side refrigerator came without the filter. He did not indicate whether this is air vs water filter…just that it did not come with a filter.
Edited to add that the mobile version of UA-cam has a translation button
The refrigerator I used did the same thing, but when I open the tap, it leaks from the filter, what can I do?
Then you may not have inserted the tube in fully and perhaps the restrictor is not present?
I just move into my first home. I purchased a LG Refrigerator and in all the videos I been watching only show how to connect the water line to the refrigerator, How do you connect the water line to the to the ting in the floor???
Not sure what your question is, there is 1 part that goes into the refrigerator and the other part has a connector that goes onto the water tap.
Stainless steel? PEX? Polyethylene? Braided nylon? Does it matter?
Stainless steel. Yes, because of regulations.
My inlet is taking water, as I can see it in the nipple once I remove the hose, but when I dispense water I am getting nothing. Does it take serval minutes to syphon thru? When I remove water line and try to dispense water it pushes the water already in the system out the nipple
Do you have a model with or without water tank? A model with tank has a pump and there may be some air trapped in the waterline, causing the water flow to get blocked. In that case, check out: ua-cam.com/video/v717fdagVbQ/v-deo.html. If you have a plumbing model, it might be a valve that is stuck, or a clogged filter, or. Other than that it's an open connection and if you get water from the tap there is not much else to advise then to get a technician visit.
@@LGSAE thank you for your response. I have the LLMXS3006S which is a supplied water line. I ordered a new inlet valve. Is there another valve within the system? Should I feel suction from the disconnected hoses while trying to dispense? I can see water in my inlet valve after disconnecting and while discharging it pushes water back out the inlet valve (while disconnected)
how long is the waterline?
Typically 5 meters, but you may check with your local LG support channels if there are longer ones available (if needed of course).
Hey LG.... i have the Model GSP325PZCV i install 1x waterpipe same like in the Video... cold water Works... but he make no ice...what can I do??? I have no manual and i dont found the correct manual in the www. Only this one with 10 pages...maybe you can help me or send me the manual in german on my Email... thy
Dear Chris, I would advise you to contact your local LG office to discuss your problem and provide you with the correct manual.
My fridge doesn't come with the hose, should I buy it separately?
The water hose should normally be supplied in case you have an external water connection appliance. If not, I would advise you to first consult your local LG support channel.
What is the code for that compression nut?
Please request your local LG support desk.
What model of LG fridge sir?
This video is generic. For specific instructions, please check your owner's manual.
I hooked it all up, turned the water on and I have no water coming out???
Dear, there can be numerous causes for this: a closed water tap, a kinked tube, .. do you hear a sound when pressing the lever? I suggest you contact your local
LG support channels to get this solved.
Put a video but no description of the parts used. What size fitting. What kind of connector was that?!??!?
Are you doing this is for a LG refrigerator?
It worked for mine.
Ive been trying to find those nuts for days now. No one does them
Contact the LG Customer Center, they should be able to help you on your way. It is a special spare part.

Dear John, please put your comment in English
@@LGSAE Why not translate the comment into English? What John said was “Dude, my fridge is leaking right on the blue rubber, what can I do?
BTW, UA-cam translates via the mobile app.
Already connected but the water don't came out :/
I suggest you contact your local LG Support channels to see what is wrong.
Missing to install the ferule into the hose.
Your local LG Customer Contact Center should be able to help you with this.
Sì è rotto il tubo che porta l'acqua al dispenser, in corrispondenza dell'angolo della porta, come si smonta per sostituirlo ?
If you want a response, please comment in English Alex :-)
Hallo zusammen, genau diese Überwurfmutter fehlt mir. Kann mir jemand sagen, wo ich bestellen kann und welche Größe sie haben muss ? 1/4 Zoll und welche Länge ? Vielleicht kann mir jemand vom LG Support antworten ? Das wäre echt super nett. Vielen dank !
Dear Thorsten, please write in English so others can see you comment/question. And for exact parts, you need to contact the Customer contact center.
Just had a LG refrigerator delivered today and it is missing that nut to tighten down the tube.
same here jason did you find out how to connect your's?
This can differ per country. Please contact your local LG Customer Contact Center to get the details.
Im in canada and missing that nut which is 5/16" ( odd size) and cant find anywhere, contacted LG and they couldnt tell me , anyone know where i can get one?
@@leefisher-goodchild465 Please try if you can order part 6631JA3003D
And that's why I will be buying the storage water version, no filter and those components do not look the best you can buy. Insurance claim in the making.
Why would you run it to your outside spigot??? XD
You basically forgot what i needed: the hise connection to the filter, to see its direction, as it is not clear on it
The direction should be on the filter itself.
@@LGSAE i just bought a new lg fridge but lg water filter ADQ73693903 has no instructions about which must be the water flow direction at the filter! Can you help me with that??
I like the music.
So where does the filter go??
Great video - not !!
Please specify what exactly you mean. The filter goes between the water tap on one side and on the waterline connection on the appliance on the other side.
The vid is absolute inocuous, who needs help doing that? The most important thing is how to connect the filter, you cant find a single vid on the internet showing that, the manual is horrrible. Here in Brazil its like they hide the info in order to force u to pay for the assistance. Here a fridge costs making the currency atualization 11 thousand dolars a theft.
Useless video, you did not show where to connect the water pipe!!!
We are not a plumbing company.
Hi UK customer here fridge LG GSL960PZJV
. Can you tell me what size the water tubing is? I'm going to need to get a longer amount for my installation.
Contact LG Customer Desk, they can help you out (maybe sent a tube)
