Can hear the selinoid engage when pushing water button. Tried the prescribed push for 5 seconds the release for 5 seconds and repeat over and over, but no water. Water line is fine. Water filter was in the fridge when bought used. Have ordered new filter.
Is it safe to say that the water was also shut off for some time? Did you check to make sure that it works? I usually turn it on with the tube in a bucket before hooking up to the refrigerator just to be safe! If it is a cheap saddle valve, they are known to break off in the pipe not allowing water to flow.

When the filter freezes up, the outside casing may have cracked and will leak water when you dispense water through the door. You will need to have the filter replaced and that should take care of the problem. But the filter should never have frozen in the 1st place. You will need to call a qualified LG technician to see what's going on inside the refrigerator.

I had the same problem. I coudn't get the knob to turn. I ended up taking the front grill off so I could get a better grip on the knob. Once I did that I still have to put a lot of pressure on the knob to turn it but that did the trick. When I got it turned a quarter turn then it was easy to pull the filter out. Hope this helps!

Yes....a totaly clogged filter COULD cause the problem, but the water solenoid may be the culprit. I'd call a service company to look at it.

Get part number WR49X10173 from Consumer Relations (800-386-1215. (Free; be sure they understand how long you have had to deal with this issue) ($38+ if you buy part on line)
The part includes instructions to install, but not how to remove the control panel. Here's how: Look from below the panel to observe 3 holes (aprox. 1/8" dia) located in a long narrow depression. Observe that there is the edged of a plactic tab visible partly covering each hole. Use a pointed tool such as a shish-kabob skewer to carefully probe the hole at the right or left end, and carefully pull the control panel forward on the side with the hole you are probing. This will help release the tab, allowing the panel to come off. Repeat for the opposite side.
The instructions with the part take over from here. The part is a loop of wire that provides a bit of heat to keep the area warm, and is held in place by some aluminum tape, then spliced into the red and the black/white wires on the 6-wire harness on the left side of the control. BE SURE the power is OFF!!!!
