LG LT700P

Genuine OEMRefrigerator water filter·LG LT700 vertical twist-lock

Twisting a water filter cartridge into its housing at the base of a refrigerator

The cartridge LG used across its 2010–2016 French door range, and still the most common LG filter in older homes. It is taller and narrower than the LT1000P.

About this cartridge

LT700P is sold as ADQ36006101 or ADQ36006102 depending on the batch, and Kenmore lists the same part as 9690 or 46-9690. The body is longer than the LT1000P, with a narrower neck — a difference that is obvious once both are on a table but invisible in a product photo.

It carries NSF/ANSI 42 and 53 certification. Unlike the LT1000P it is not certified to 401, so it makes no pharmaceutical-reduction claim. If that matters to you, the LT1000P housing is the newer design.

LG rates it at 200 gallons or six months. Because these refrigerators are now seven to fifteen years old, the housing O-rings are the usual failure point: a new filter that drips is almost always a worn ring, not a defective cartridge.

These part numbers refer to the same physical cartridge. If the number on your old filter is in this list, this is the right replacement.

Do not confuse

A common and expensive mistake is ordering LT1000P for an LT700P housing. Measure the old cartridge: LT700P is roughly 7.9 in tall, LT1000P about 6.2 in.

Which refrigerators it fits

LG has not published a model-level list for this cartridge that we can verify, so we do not publish one either. The number on the cartridge you are removing is the reliable check.

Replacing it

  1. Turn the old cartridge a quarter turn counter-clockwise and pull it straight out. Keep a towel under it — a few ounces of water will come out.
  2. Remove the protective cap from the new cartridge and check that the O-rings are seated flat in their grooves.
  3. Push it in and turn clockwise until it stops. Run two to three gallons through the dispenser to flush carbon fines, then reset the indicator.

Common questions

Does the LT700P fit my LG refrigerator?
The cartridge fits the LG LT700 vertical twist-lock housing. Give us the refrigerator model number and we will confirm it against the housing list.
How often do I need to replace the LT700P?
LG rates it at 6 months or 200 gallons, whichever comes first. High-volume households usually hit the gallon limit before the calendar limit.
Is ADQ36006101 the same filter as LT700P?
Yes. ADQ36006101, ADQ36006102, 46-9690, 9690 all refer to the same physical cartridge. The suffix tracks packaging or retail channel, not fit.
Can I use an aftermarket 700P replacement?
Physically, usually yes — the housing is the same. The difference is certification breadth and seal tolerance. Check that any third-party part carries an NSF 42 or 53 mark, and on chip-equipped housings (GE XWFE, RPWFE, newer Samsung) that it includes a recognition chip.
