The Filter Assembly, Head is an OEM replacement part for LG refrigerators. As an essential filtration component, the filter head houses the water filter and is responsible for dispensing clean, filtered water through the refrigerator's dispenser. It works to remove contaminants and improve taste.

Causes of a bad filter head can include normal wear and tear over time, mineral buildup within the head that impacts water flow, or damage to the head itself from accidental impact.  

Symptoms of a bad filter head include:

• Reduced or slow water flow from the dispenser 
• Noticeable declines in water filtration effectiveness
• Leaks or water damage around the filter head area

This OEM LG part is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore brand models.

This holder is a small mounting bracket that secures a mating component in place inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked or missing holder restores a firm, rattle-free fit and proper alignment.

• Provides a stable mount for the designated part

• Common signs of failure: broken tabs, stress cracks, or the attached part sagging or falling out
• When damaged, the connected component may be loose, noisy, or misaligned

• Disconnect power; if working near water tubing, also shut off the water supply
• Note the original orientation and mounting points; take a photo before removal
• Reuse existing fasteners and avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the plastic
• Ensure the attached component is secure and clears any moving parts before restoring power
