LT1000P: the LG cartridge with two ratings
Three standard numbers and two ratings, which is more than any other listing here gives.
What the listing names
Named on the listing: NSF/ANSI 42, 53, 401.The genuine listing names 42, 53 and 401. The aftermarket combination pack on this page names no certification at all, and its own chip shows three empty cells.
Genuine listings
Sold as original parts by the appliance manufacturer or under its brand.
Only listing here stating a gallon figure200 gallons, and it is the one fridge filter listing in this category that states gallons rather than months alone.

View the listing on AmazonA genuine LG cartridge that names all three standard numbers and states both a six month interval and a 200-gallon capacity. Stating both is the correct way to rate a filter, and it is why this listing is the one the filter life tool has the most to work with.

Aftermarket listings
The contrast here is the sharpest on the site: the genuine cartridge names three standard numbers, and the aftermarket pack that is stated to replace it names none. That is a difference in what has been written down, and it is the difference this whole site is about.

Claims beyond the certification

- An included air filter on the aftermarket pack, which has nothing to do with water
Codes the listings name
The aftermarket listing names these two cartridge codes. It also refers to several LG refrigerator models without naming them, and this page does not fill that gap with guesses.
- LT1000PC
- LT1000P/PCS
How to check yours
- Pull the cartridge currently in the refrigerator and read the code molded or printed on its body, not the code on the box it came in.
- Find the same code in the refrigerator documentation, which lists the cartridge the appliance was designed for.
- Compare that code against the code on the listing you are about to buy, character for character, including any suffix.
- If a listing states it replaces your code, treat that as the seller's statement about their own product and check it against your documentation rather than instead of it.
- Keep the old cartridge until the new one is installed and running, so there is something to compare against if the fit is wrong.
Notes
Stating both months and gallons is the honest way to rate a cartridge, because the two bind under different households. Replace at whichever arrives first.
This listing is the only refrigerator cartridge in the catalog that states a gallon figure, which is why the filter life tool has so few fridge options to offer.
