LG 5220FR2075L Genuine OEM Water Inlet Valve for LG Washing Machines

We have an LG WM9000HVA front loading washer that we purchased about 5 years ago. Recently we started experiencing a change in the normal sound when going through the rinsing cycle. The rinse typically uses cold water and the sound was a loud squealing sound. After cleaning the inlet filter the sound did not go away. I was worried that the valve was getting ready to fail so I ordered this one. I’ve replaced these valves before on a previous front loader we had so had a little experience for doing this. Total replacement time, including pulling the washer out and vacuuming up the dust took me about 40 minutes, very easy. We are back up and running with no noise, problem solved!

Like others here, we were seeing water leakage from the bottom right side of our Kenmore Elite washing machine that was made by LG. We couldn't tell exactly where it was coming from but eventually we were shown a FE error, which indicates the washing machine was encountering a fill error. When these valves go out, they can go out open or closed, so be very careful that you do not have an open valve that filled the drum until the washer realized what was happening and threw the error code. In this instance, which is what happened for us, if you open the door, it will send water flying everywhere and it's A LOT of water. Use the drain hose down at the bottom left of the front panel to drain the washer so this isn't a concern. In our case, we drained almost 11 one gallon buckets from ours before it was empty. I then turned off the water and disconnected the fill hoses, draining them into a bucket before removing four screws from the back of the top panel. The panel then slides right off with easy access to the inlet valves. While this cold inlet valve was what was leaking, both it and then hot water inlet valve were rusted out so we replaced both at the same time. Before beginning, I used a Sharpie to mark each hose and connector for the valves and then took a photo (attached). I find this helps with making sure everything is connected correctly after the replacement. I then placed a container on top of the drum for any water that might drain out of the hoses and began removing hoses by squeezing the hose clamps with a pair of pliers and placing the hose in the bowl. Once all were removed, I removed two screws on each valve and they came loose from the cabinet. I wrapped the new valves with some pipe dope and then slid them through the cabinet opening and secured them with the two screws. Now that the new valves were in, I reconnected the black hoses to each of the inlet valves and then double-checked the numbers for good measure. The fill hoses are next but it's important to note that its easy to damage a valve by overtightening so hand tighten and then use a pair of slip-joint pliers to tighten it another 2/3 of a turn or so. Once this was done, I turned the water back on to each and started a new cycle, leaving the top panel off for the first load to make sure there were no leaks. All in all, a very easy and affordable repair but at less than four years since they were installed, I feel the washer has had problems too quickly.

It was the exact duplicate of the original and only took about 15 minutes to replace. The original part worked but it did have a small leak and it was getting worse. All the hoses and connections fit the new part as well as the old. Very happy with product, price, and speed of delivery.

Beware, my LG Direct Drive stopped working when I bought a Chinese cheaper part. Evidently they overheat and will not function yielding a I/E error. Highly rec getting this OEM part from LG, which solved many problems trying to fix the error code.

It arrived on the estimated date and was easy to install in my machine. It works just fine. I'm so glad!

Last aftermarket didn't last but 2yrs so found this one that said factory original so paid double price hoping lasts longer. New, looked great, easy to install, worked great just slow shipping and washer down waiting.

Old valve stuck open and flooded the washer. This looked and fit perfectly. Quick repair and has worked for months just fine.

Bought this for my LG WM2277H* washer. Basically, my wife noticed that after a wash the liquid detergent was still in the compartment. Also washes were taking alot longer than normal. We primarily wash our clothes in cold and rarely do any washes in hot. After a ton of troubleshooting and Googling, I finally narrowed my problem to low or no cold water flow. I confirmed this when I pulled the detergent compartment and watched the wash cycle. This led me to suspect the inlet valve. Found this part here for a third of the cost. The fix was a breeze and I was done in about 30-40 mins. Washer was back up and was a hero for my wife. The part was high quality and OEM. It was a perfect fit. THANKS!

me llego muy bien y funciona perfecto

We were quoted about $600 to replace this valve from a technician and were debating to buy a new one. We were very happy to save so much money using this one. It was easy to install and took us a total of 10-15 minutes. We were able to learn how to remove and install it from a YouTube video.

The part was easy to install without having to call a service tech. It is great that parts are available when so many times a simple problem like this can't be fixed because appliance companies don't have parts and you would have to replace the washer for lack of an simple part. Our washer is working like new.
