No — LG documents them as two separate filters with their own schedules and their own reset buttons on the control panel. ### What does the Fresh Air Filter actually do? LG describes it as helping remove odors from inside the refrigerator, rather than affecting water or ice quality. ### What if the replace-filter light won't reset after I install a new Fresh Air Filter? LG's guide has you press and hold the Fresh Air Filter button on the control panel for three seconds to complete the reset; if problems continue, LG points to its Contact Us page for further help. --- **[Read on the site: LG French-door cold-storage unit — Fresh Air Filter replacement](https://appliancemaintenance.center/error-codes/lg-refrigerator-fresh-air-filter/)** **[Book a visit with ApplianceMaintenance.center](https://appliancemaintenance.center/schedule/)**
