With effective adsorption technology it improves the cleanliness and purity of the output water and is suitable for LG side-by-side refrigerator-freezers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Filtration capacity:<\/strong> 500 gallons (1,893 liters) of drinking water<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong> 16 cm long with a 7.5 cm cross-section diameter (short cup form factor)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Approximate weight:<\/strong> about 240 g<\/li>\n<li><strong>Material:<\/strong> compressed activated carbon core with a 100% plant-based source and a durable, food-grade plastic shell<\/li>\n<li><strong>Filter location:<\/strong> inside LG and Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators (cup-type models with an internal housing); easy twist-lock installation<\/li>\n<li><strong>Certifications:<\/strong> holds recognized international water health and quality certifications NSF\/ANSI 42 and 53<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This filter has a direct effect on the clarity of the ice and the purity of the output water.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Install the LG Cup-Type Filter<\/h2>\n<p>The original short LG cup-type filter made in Mexico (technical ID <strong>5231JA2002A<\/strong>) is a factory-grade, high-quality part for the internal filtration of LG side-by-side refrigerators. Because of its short cylindrical dimensions, this model is known as a cup type. To replace it properly and avoid damaging the valve, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Close the water inlet valve to the refrigerator. To relieve circuit pressure and prevent water spray, press the dispenser paddle for a few seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Open the filter compartment door (usually in the upper ceiling or the inner wall). Turn the old filter a quarter turn (90 degrees) to the left (counter-clockwise) and pull it straight out.<\/li>\n<li>Remove the hygienic cap from the new 5231JA2002A filter. Insert the filter perfectly upright into the housing, push it upward and turn it a quarter turn to the right (clockwise) until you hear the tab lock.<\/li>\n<li>Open the water inlet valve. Then dispense and discard about 3 to 5 liters of water from the dispenser paddle so the air in the housing is purged and the initial activated carbon fines are flushed out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Leak test and alert reset:<\/strong> after installation, dry the area around the filter and check the connections to make sure there are no leaks. Finally, hold the <code>Filter Reset<\/code> or <code>Water Filter<\/code> button on the refrigerator&#8217;s digital panel for 3 seconds so the filter replacement timer resets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The LG cup-type refrigerator filter 5231JA2002A, made in Mexico by 3M, is designed for use in this brand&#8217;s side-by-side refrigerators.
