LG Refrigerator Water Tasting Off or Cloudy? Water Filter ADQ36006113 — Replaces LT700P & ADQ36006101, Restores Clean Water Fast
Cloudy, bad-tasting, or odorous water from your LG refrigerator dispenser is almost always caused by a clogged or expired water filter. In most LG French-door and side-by-side refrigerators, the internal water filter is the single point responsible for removing chlorine, lead, and other contaminants from your drinking water. When it fails or expires, water quality drops immediately — taste and odour worsen, and in some cases flow rate slows noticeably. ⚡ One of the most common maintenance items in LG refrigerators built between 2010–2020. Part ADQ36006113 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full filtration performance, eliminating contaminants and returning your water to clean, fresh-tasting condition.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Refrigerator powers on and cools normally
- ✔ Ice maker and dispenser mechanism work correctly
- ✔ Water supply line confirmed connected and pressurized
- ✔ ONLY problem is poor water taste, odour, cloudiness, or reduced flow from the dispenser

- Filter change indicator light is on or overdue

✔ If these symptoms match, ADQ36006113 is the correct replacement filter for your LG refrigerator.
✔ In most cases, installing a fresh filter immediately restores water clarity, taste, and full flow rate.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: ADQ36006113
- Type: OEM Refrigerator Water Filter Cartridge
- Replaces: ADQ36006101, LT700P, LT700PC, LT700PCS, AGF80300702
- Brands: LG

Check your water supply line inlet valve screen for sediment buildup at the same time — a partially blocked inlet valve is often mistaken for a filter issue and will cause low flow even after a new filter is installed. Replacing both together eliminates the most common causes of dispenser flow problems in one visit.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 5 minutes, no tools required. Disconnect power or turn off the water supply before servicing. Locate the filter housing inside the refrigerator (typically upper-right interior or base grille depending on model). Twist the old filter counterclockwise to remove, insert the new ADQ36006113 and twist clockwise until locked. Run 2–3 gallons of water through the dispenser to flush the new filter before use. Reset the filter indicator light per your model's instructions.

💡 Pro Tip
LG's filter indicator is based on time, not actual water usage. In high-use households, the filter can be exhausted well before the light triggers. Replace every 6 months regardless of the indicator, and keep a spare ADQ36006113 on hand — filter quality degrades gradually, so many customers don't notice the difference until they install a fresh one.
