To clean mold from your LG refrigerator water dispenser, follow these simple steps:
1. Unplug the refrigerator: Before starting the cleaning process, unplug the refrigerator from the power source to ensure safety.
2. Empty the water reservoir: Remove any remaining water from the dispenser by pressing the dispenser lever until no more water comes out.
3. Remove the dispenser parts: Depending on your LG refrigerator model, you may need to remove the drip tray, grille, or other parts surrounding the water dispenser. Consult your refrigerator’s manual for specific instructions on how to remove these parts.
4. Prepare a cleaning solution: Mix a solution of equal parts water and white vinegar in a spray bottle or a bowl. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant and can effectively kill mold and mildew.
5. Clean the dispenser parts: Spray the cleaning solution onto the dispenser parts or soak them in the solution for a few minutes. Use a soft brush or cloth to scrub away any visible mold or residue. Be sure to clean all the crevices and hard-to-reach areas.
6. Rinse with clean water: After scrubbing, rinse the dispenser parts thoroughly with clean water to remove any remaining vinegar solution and mold residue.
7. Dry the parts: Use a clean towel or allow the dispenser parts to air dry completely before reassembling them.
8. Reassemble the dispenser: Once the parts are dry, carefully reassemble them back onto the refrigerator.
9. Clean the exterior: Wipe down the exterior of the water dispenser and the surrounding area with a clean cloth dampened with the vinegar solution. This will help prevent any mold or mildew from spreading.
10. Regular maintenance: To prevent future mold growth, it is important to regularly clean and maintain your LG refrigerator water dispenser. Wipe it down with a mild cleaning solution and rinse with clean water every few weeks.
Remember, always refer to your LG refrigerator’s manual for specific cleaning instructions and safety precautions. If the mold persists or you have any concerns, it is recommended to contact LG customer support for further assistance.
