LG LSC27911** Refrigerator
Frequently Asked Questions (10)
How do I set up the icemaker after connecting the water line?
Set the icemaker power switch to the I (On) position after the water line is connected. The icemaker will not begin to operate until it reaches its operating temperature of 15°F (-9°C) or below, then it will begin operation automatically. A newly-installed refrigerator may take 12 to 24 hours to begin making ice, and you should throw away the first few batches to allow the water line to clear. (Page 22)
How often does the water filter need to be replaced, and how do I reset the filter light?
The water filter needs replacement once every six months. A filter indicator light on the dispenser will come on to let you know when it's time to replace it. After replacing the filter, press and hold the Lock button for more than 3 seconds to reset the filter light. (Page 11)
What should I do if the refrigerator is not making ice or ice production is slow?
Wait 24 hours after hook-up for ice production to begin, as the freezer needs time to reach the proper temperature. Also check that the icemaker power switch is in the I (On) position, the water supply is turned on and connected, and that nothing is holding the door open. If cubes are piling up in the storage bin and causing the icemaker to shut off, level the cubes by hand or shake the bin occasionally. (Page 25)
What electrical requirements does the LG LSC27911 refrigerator need?
The refrigerator should be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for 115V / 60Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes. A separate circuit serving only this appliance is recommended, and you should not use an extension cord. The outlet must not be one that can be turned off with a switch or pull chain. (Page 4)
How do I adjust the temperature if the refrigerator or freezer is too warm or too cold?
Adjust the refrigerator control first, then wait 24 hours before checking the freezer temperature and making further adjustments. If the refrigerator section is too warm, turn the refrigerator control to the next highest level; if too cold, set it to the next lower level. Always wait at least 24 hours between adjustments, and also check that air vents are not blocked by food packages. (Page 12)

What should I do if the refrigerator door alarm keeps sounding?
The door alarm sounds 3 times at thirty-second intervals if either the refrigerator or freezer door is left open for more than 60 seconds. Make sure the door is fully closed and that no food packages or misaligned bins are blocking it from closing completely. If the warning tone continues to sound even after closing the door, contact your local service center. (Page 11)
How do I clean the inside of the refrigerator to remove odors?
Wash the inside of the refrigerator with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of baking soda to 1 quart of water (26g soda to 1 liter water) to help remove odors. Make sure the baking soda is completely dissolved so it does not scratch the surfaces. Because air circulates between both sections, you must thoroughly clean both the refrigerator and freezer sections to eliminate odors. (Pages 10, 17)
What is the proper installation temperature range and clearance requirement for the refrigerator?
Install the refrigerator in an area where the temperature is between 41°F (5°C) and 110°F (43°C), as temperatures outside this range may adversely affect cooling ability. For proper air circulation, best cooling, and energy consumption results, maintain a minimum distance of 2 inches (5.08 cm) from adjacent items and surfaces. The refrigerator must be installed on a solidly constructed floor; carpeting and soft tile surfaces are not recommended. (Page 6)
What should I do to prepare the refrigerator if there is a power outage?
If the power will be out for 24 hours or less, keep all refrigerator doors closed to help foods stay cold and frozen. If the power will be out for more than 24 hours, either remove all frozen food to a frozen food locker, or place 2 lbs. (1 kg) of dry ice in the freezer for every cubic foot of freezer space, which will keep food frozen for two to four days. Do not refreeze frozen foods that have thawed completely. (Page 18)
How do I install or replace the water filter?
For first-time installation, remove the filter substitute cap by turning it counterclockwise a quarter turn and pulling it down; for subsequent replacements, remove the old filter the same way. Insert the two tabs on the new filter tip into the two slots in the refrigerator filter receptacle, then turn the filter clockwise a quarter turn to lock it into place. After installation, dispense 2.5 gallons (9.46 L) of water to purge the system, and check the shelf area for leaks. (Page 16)
