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!

Worked perfectly! No more leaking and I fixed it myself.

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.

Exact fit. Swapped a couple lines over and installed. No more leaks and washer works like new again

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!

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.

When we found water trickling out from underneath our washer, we thought we were in for an expensive repair. YouTube sleuthing wasn't much help, but did inspire me to open the top cover. Inside, I found the old inlet valve rusted and leaking. This part was an exact replacement and only required a few simple tools to install. After months of use, it's still working perfectly.

When the washing machine isn't working, far delivery of the part is critical. The last read delivered on time. The repair was a snap, and the part resolved the FE error code and the continuous filling of the machine.I usually try to get my parts from a dedicated parts supplier because of the excellent resources they provide to help with repairs. I'm usually willing to pay a premium for this. But this time it works cost $30 in shipping alone to get the part a day later than I could get it from Amazon with free shipping.
