Whoever designed that cover to be so awkward should be fired

We also had a hard time removing the cover of our LG LRMVS3006s fridge (wide rectangular cover). I'm 5'2", so I knew I was going to have a hard time reaching the top back of the fridge. I used a step ladder and the cover *would not* budge. After reading other comments, I was able to successfully remove the cover by pressing back on the right side of the cover and then pushing the right side upwards. The left side was still stuck, but was able to push back and downwards on the left side for it to release. Both made awful plastic cracking sounds. Nothing appears broken though, it was just loud 😆.
It felt rather risky to lean so far over the side of the step ladder in order to apply enough pressure 😅. But it worked!

This thing is just stupid hard to take off, you really do feel like you're going to break it. Thankfully i ress yalls comments which helped immensely

This is the worst design ever. Period. Total junk. On the video it shows twisting and it come off. No so in reality. I still cannot get it off. It barely moves when twisting. This is the last time I buy an LG product. This should be incredibly easy and intuitive. Not making a project that requires research and jumping on social media to figure out. Changing air filters and water filters should be super easy and intuitive. I can think of dozens of designs to make it easy. I am clearly angry of these incompetent LG engineers that can take something so ridiculously simple and make it so incredibly difficult and complicated.

had a bear of a time getting the rectangular cover off, tried squeezing, pushing then turning and any other solutions i read online. turned out the trick for me was to remove the two top shelves to give my arm enough 'wiggle' room to get a better grip. once i did that, in all seriousness the cover finally opened. after replacing the filter, i then opened and closed the cover several times to 'break it in' so it comes off easier the next time. i might not have to remove the shelves next time but time will tell.

Terribly hard to remove the air filter cover. I had to stand on a chair, rest my knee inside the frig, pound on the cover and twist with lots of pressure! I love my LG refrigerator, but they need an easier design to remove the cover!

The same thing that happened to @freebie... happened to me. I've done this three times and it's always the same. It's not easy getting the rectangular cover off. I thought I was going to break it too! After watching this video and reading comments, it still took work to get it off. I had to use a step stool and anchor myself with my other hand on the top of the fridge. It made a loud cracking sound but it did not break. Too bad people have to remove food and shelves to replace a simple filter. I wish they had designed this with an easier way.

Thanks so much! Like most people thought I broke it. Now I have extra filters, didn’t know this existed when I changed my first 3 pack
of water of filters, I just threw the air filters in a drawer, didn’t know where they went

What air filter do I need for LRFLC2706S? It says LT120F is my air filter but theres no way it’s going to fit? Do I need to take it out of white frame?

I have the square filter cover and if you had hard time taking off this one, try "squeezing" the sides of the cover then turn it left as strong as you can (sometimes it will not require much strength after squeezing). That was the easiest way for me. Not sure if this will work with the rectangular cover as I don't have it.

I have refrigerator model LRFLC2706S. The filter that was in the removable cover in the fridge and that came with the fridge when purchased was just the charcoal, and was not within the cardboard windowpane looking thing. Do I have to remove the carbon from inside the cardboard windowpane looking cardboard cover on the new filter I buy prior to installing in the fridge? I tried this on a new filer I purchased (model # LT120F), but the carbon is taped pretty heavily to the carboard cover and the carbon filter broke into pieces, rendering it useless and wasting my money.

Instead of a fan like shown at 0:42 I can see styrofoam there. And there is no filter either. I’m having a cooling issue in my fridge but the freezer works fine. Can that be the issue?

I am looking for the fresh air filter on a Lsxs26366d/05 REFRIGERATOR

[jules]

Got the retangular cover off just fine but the filter holder is a parallel design not square. / / new filter will not fit. one that's in there has no casing just filter material. what's up with that?

On my new LG frig with the rectangle air filter cover, and after talking to an advisor on the phone, I had to use considerable force with two hands to twist the cover off. I thought I was going to break it with the amount of force I had to use . It finally came off without breaking. Putting the filter cover back on was very easy and then taking it off a second time was easy as well . The agent and I were not sure why the first time removing the filter cover was so hard. The agent assured me that in taking it off, had it broke, LG would have replaced it under warranty without charge. The agent was very good and stayed on the line until the issue was resolved.

My filter cover on an LRF model has an angled clip that isn’t square like the filter?
Also you show the install placing the filter in and then write “front” on the side that will end up being in the rear??

I changed the rectangular air filter and the water filter yesterday and my refrigerator started making noises, could you help me and tell me why? Thanks.

[noelcheshire]

Needs a redesign. Cover is very difficult to get off. Had to take everything off the top shelves and remove them, use a ladder to have enough force to get it off & thought I was going to break the cover. Hope LG reads these comments.
Also, there seems to be a plastic film around the rectangular air filter. Should that be there?

[freebiebanditmyoplexlite]

We had a hard time removing rectangle cover. Thought we were going to break it! Read helpful comments below. We removed top shelf. Then I pushed top right corner in and twisted hard to left. It made a loud cracking noise, but was ok. I'm hoping next time will be easier
