Contacted LG and they sent Technician. The first thing he did was open the water filter compartment and what he found was that there is no filter but a bye pass attachment. Where houses have there own filter system then one does not need a water filter in the refrigerator so one can attach the buy pass attachment. So I contacted Best Buy and they apologized for the inconvenience. I went and got a water filter (no charge) and attached it in the filter compartment. Now the water is fine and working perfectly. As I was new to this type of refrigerators assumed that everything comes attached. The people who came to install did not also check. So folks request the installers to open and check these items. The fridge is so far running good.

According to the American Water Works Association, if the chlorine residual level is sufficient without being excessive, water will not smell like chlorine. Yet, sensitivity to the odor of chlorine varies among consumers. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) requires treatment facilities to maintain a chlorine residual level that is chemically detectable but no greater than 4 mg/l. Most people can sense a chlorine residual around 1 mg/l. If your water smells strongly of chlorine, it is possible that your treatment facility conveys water over a long distance, requiring heavy chlorination to maintain a chlorine residual throughout the system. The chlorine residual also may be raised by treatment facilities during warm weather when chlorine dissipates readily from water. The LG 6 month / 200 Gallon Capacity Replacement Refrigerator Water Filter (Part # ADQ36006101), Model # LT700P in your ENERGY STAR® Qualified LG 24 cu.ft. 33" Wide Ultra-Capacity 3-Door French Door Refrigerator w/Door-in-Door™, Model # LFXS24663S is tested and certified by NSF International to meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standards 42 and 53 for the reduction of Chlorine. It has an operating pressure of 25-125 psi and an opearting temperature of 33-100 °F. You can have the water pressure checked to make sure that it is at the right pressure so the filter operates properly. Standard 42 filters with a Class 1 rating represent a minimum of 75% chlorine reduction. If you are bothered by the chlorine odor to your water you can also fill a pitcher of water and set it aside for several hours to let the chlorine dissipate. Transferring the water rapidly between two pitchers can accelerate chlorine dissipation...^IFV
