LG Refrigerator Water Filter Head Assembly AKN72949003

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Water leaking from the filter housing/filter area.
• Water dispenser not working or no water passing through the filter path.
• A water filter that will not seat or lock properly when the filter-head mechanism is damaged.

Check Before Replacing

• Inspect the filter-head housing and visible connections for cracks or other physical damage.
• Verify the installed filter’s protective cap was removed and that its O-rings are not cracked, stretched, or incorrectly seated.
• Confirm the filter is installed by rotating it clockwise until it locks; do not force it straight into or out of the mount.
• After correctly seating a known-good, approved filter, check whether water dispenses and inspect the filter area for leakage.

Installation Notes

• Use the filter’s specified rotational removal and installation method; forcing the filter can damage the mount.
• Keep the connected water line free of excessive tension or kinks, which can reduce water pressure.
• After installation, verify the filter locks correctly and inspect the filter area and connections for leaks.
