LG ADQ36006102 Water Filter: The LT700P Explained — ADQ36006101 vs ADQ36006102 Resolved (2025)
ADQ36006101 vs ADQ36006102 — What Actually Changed?
LG introduced the ADQ36006102 as a minor revision to ADQ36006101 in approximately 2016. The change involved a marginal refinement to the outer housing plastic composition — not the filtration media, not the O-ring profile, not the thread pattern, and not the filter dimensions. LG did not change the consumer retail name (still LT700P) because there was no functional difference to communicate.
LG refrigerators manufactured and shipped before approximately mid-2016 will have the ADQ36006101 label. Those manufactured after mid-2016 will show ADQ36006102. Both are the same filter and use the same compatible replacements. If you are ordering a compatible filter, any listing that cross-references LT700P, ADQ36006101, or ADQ36006102 will fit your refrigerator regardless of which version you currently have installed.
Despite both being LG refrigerator filters, the LT700P (ADQ36006101/02) and LT1000P (ADQ74793501) are different filter generations introduced 4 years apart. They have different dimensions and thread patterns. If your fridge was made from 2018 onwards and uses the LT1000P — ordering an LT700P will not fit. Always confirm from the label on your installed filter. For the LT1000P guide: LG ADQ74793501 / LT1000P Complete Guide.
Physical size difference: The LT1000P is visually slightly shorter and slimmer in diameter than the LT700P. If you hold them side by side, the LT700P has a taller profile and wider body — a difference noticeable by eye once you know what to look for. In a housing designed for LT700P, the LT1000P would rattle with play and fail to engage the thread lock. In a housing designed for LT1000P, the LT700P body is too wide to insert at all. Neither combination produces a partial-seal scenario — the wrong filter simply will not enter the housing, making the mismatch physically obvious before any damage can occur.
