The effort it would take to eliminate filter would be too much. Just leave filter in place. If new house filter is working right you should never have to replace fridge filter and your water will be double-filtered :)

1. Check to see if the fridge and the freezer are overfilled Over-stuffing in the freezer or the fridge or both of these compartments will prevent the doors from closing properly and which can cause the fridge's to set off the beeping alarm.
2. Check the fridge door seals: Broken or damaged door seals may stop the fridge from closing all the way. This can also happen if the seals are dirty. Wipe clean the door seals with a soft cloth and warm and use soapy water and close the fridge doors. If the door still appears ajar then you have to replace the door seals.It is also quite possible that the inbuilt door-alarm which sets off if the fridge door is ajar for more than a few minutes has gone bad . This would need to be looked at by a qualified repair person . Until, you can call a repair person transfer all the food items to another cool place.
3. Check the fridge balance: To work correctly the fridge must be placed on a levelled surface. Even a slight tilt in the fridge structure can set off the beeping alarm. Check to see if the fridge is balanced evenly.
4. Check to see if the fridge exterior is warmer than usual: Check if there is adequate distance between the fridge and walls to allow for proper ventilation. If you have already ensured this and the fridge exterior still appears warmer than usual, have an appliance engineer to take look at the problem. If the beeping continues, switch-off the fridge.
5. Check the freezer: If your fridge does not have an auto-defrost function then excessive ice-build up in the freezer can cause the beeping alarm to go off . If you see a lot of ice build-up in the icebox or freezer, switch off the fridge and let the ice thaw. Once the fridge is thawed, the beeping should stop.
6. Have a repair person check the circuit board: It is possible that there is an issue with the appliance's circuit board. If so it will most likely need replacement.

Could be a noisy circulation fan

If this is an automatic defrost unit, the evaporation tray could be damaged or incorrectly positioned.

If the water line is copper tubing, it rattles due to action of the fill solenoid.

Dispensing valve failure

Somewhere in the back there should be a removable plate which covers the computer that makes this unit work. I have a feeling that you will find something burnt on the "solder side" of the board.

possible bad display

possible loss of freon

check capacitor to compressor if ok possible bad compressor if no voltage to compressor bad board

The solenoid controlled dispensing valve could be defective.

Could be a defective dispenser solenoid switch.

The "loud bang" is symptomatic of your compressor trying to destroy itself.

The switch and or the led light assy has ice inside of it. This is a known issue with this LG unit.

Call LG and request them to fix this under a warrranty.

Good luck.

You need to replace the light or check and make sure your switch is not frozen and being held in

I think you should just do it. Smart! Follow the instructions. Then go to and relax. Combine business with pleasure.

Check for a bad hard start cap/relay on compressor. If it is running check for ice on evaporator - if ice then the defrost mechanism is not working.

There is a communications error between the control board and the display board.  Check the connector located on the top hinge cover.  Remove the hinge cover and check to make sure the connector is tightly secured.

LG brand switch off at the wall point wait a bit start again if its not in the user manual and no one can figure out why if it still beeps some part of that unit has failed or needs to be reset no other choice but to call out a lg repair man
