@David Boclair, Thank you so much for posting your solution of turning the water filter to the second click when installing to solve our toxic water taste in our LG refrigerator!!! We purchased the refrigerator in December 2022 and the store we bought it from took it back to their shop in February to check the plastic water taste, which they said they could never taste, and they finally agreed to replace the water basin and the tubing. We didn't get the fridge back from them until May 26--thankfully they gave us a loaner during that time. However, it still had the toxic plastic taste. I found your post last night and turned the filter another click to the right--I had a hard time gripping the filter to turn it because you have to really twist it hard, so I used a rubber thing you would use to help open jars--and that solved the toxic plastic taste!!! Long story, but after getting the filter in the correct position, I took it out and submerged it in water, just to make sure the air was out of it (as was also suggested). Anyway, I found that the filter was much easier to twist to the correct position after submerging it in water. So, it may be a helpful tip to submerge the filter in water first until it stops bubbling and then install it in the fridge. Thank you again for helping so many people with this horrible, but easy to solve, issue!!!
