Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This is an authentic LG water inlet valve for a top-load washer. It is designed to control the flow of water into the washer. If your washer is filling slowly, making loud noises, overflowing, or stopping in the middle of a cycle, you may need to replace the water inlet valve. Be sure to disconnect the power and water supply before you begin this repair.

Easy repair
The part was easy to install only because I saw the repairman do it about six months ago. I watch him closely and was able to instruct my husband on what he should do. The washer works like normal for a week.
Unfortunately, the pulsator decided to malfunction a week later, sliding off at the end of wash cycle,no fault of the other repair and had to clean drain pump. Now it’s needs a new pulsator plate with cost of approx $70-$80.I am not willing to spend anymore money on repairs. So I’m junking the LG washer and buying something new. The time and money that will be spent on repairs I may as well buy a new one. Thank your service Ed great and part in excellent condition when I received it.

Quick removal and installation.
This part was listed as a replacement with a new part number but cost was higher than at another site for the original part, the extra cost was worth it. The construction appears to be used with higher quality parts compared with flimsy parts on the original part. It took less than 20 minutes (The first time ever installed).

Water inlet was leaking
I noticed that my washer was leaking water into the tub. It was dripping, very slowly, but it was dripping. I noticed first, because it was starting to smell, and I didn’t understand why. Once I noticed that it was dripping, I checked online and noticed that the solenoid water inlet is most likely the problem. I found the part on parts, s
... Read moreelect, and confirmed with my model. The pictures were very close and similar, so I was pretty sure I was getting the cracked part. Once I received the part, it was time to fix it. You just have to turn the water supply off, remove the inlet lines with a adjustable wrench, if necessary, and then get to the washer. Make sure you also unplug the washer. There are only two Phillips head screws to remove to get the vanity cover off of the back. For whatever reason my removal was a little bit difficult for this. There are some plastic clips that hold the front portion on of the vanity plate. These were very tight, and I was afraid I would break them, but eventually they came loose with gentle upward pulling. Once this was off, it was super easy to identify the part that needed replacement. There are two hose clamps that you just need a pair of pliers to squeeze in slide off the hose. Then you remove three additional Phillips head screws, and the other connections pop out on their own. The solenoid plugs are very simple to slide off, and it is really difficult to put them on any other way. If you need to, you can take a few photos of the installation. Once you have the old one out, hook up the hoses first, and slide the hose clamps back to their original position. Once you have the two black hoses back on, reposition the new valve body, and slide the additional three prongs into the inlet soap dispenser. Make sure that the fit is snug. Don’t over push, the parts are plastic. Once this is done, reinsert, the three Phillips screws into their holes. Then you can reconnect the solenoids. At this point the replacement is done, and all you have to do is replace the vanity cover. Take time to ensure that you’ve done this correctly. I left the vanity cover off and ran a test load of dirty clothes to make sure that there were no leaks. Once I assure, there were no leaks, I put the vanity cover back on and put the two screws on. This was a very easy fix. Again, just go slow removing the vanity plate so you do not crack or break the tines in the front.

Washer Hot water valve did not shut off ever
After getting the model info from the back of the washer control panel, I searched Partselect for the water valve part. Easy process, It was here in 2 days.

I removed the 3 screws holding the valve assy to the deck and with pliers disconnected the 2 clamped rubber lines and then with just finger pressure wiggled the valve from the remaining pipe connections. I swapped the 5 wire connectors to the new valve and wiggled it back into place. Clamped the 2 rubber lines again. and then connected the water inlet hoses to the new valve. Closed it up and called the laundry lady ( sorry honey) 30 minutes to Household harmony again!!

Water leaking into drum
Figured out how to remove the top door and the top panel that covered the solenoid bank. That was the hardest part. Swapping out the solenoid bank and the connector was easy. No more water leaking.
The old water assembly valve split on the bottom and started leaking.
After unplugging the washer I cut the water off. I took the water hoses off, then the back top panel using a phillips head screw driver. I then used a pair of pliers to take off the two hoses and clamps. I unplugged the electric connection on each solenoid, took out 5 screws replaced the part and did everything in reverse order.

Water overflow in washer basin
I diagnosed by running a full wash. I watched it and when the water should have stopped it kept running. I unplugged the washer from the power and the water kept running. This told me the inlet valve was the issue and not an electronic issue. I stopped the water by closing the water valve manually. Replacing the inlet valve was very easy

Water tube in washer only fills with cold water on hot setting.
For model number WT5070CW
Hi Uwe, thank you for your question. Most of the time when you are having that issue, it means that there is a problem with your water inlet valve. I could suggest testing the part with a multi meter to be sure. Each solenoid on the valve should be reading somewhere between 500 - 1500 ohms to be working. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Getting code: IE. can you tell me what part I would need to order and replace? Thanks.
For model number 31552
Hello Kevin, thank you for the great question. An IE error code indicates that the washer was unable to fill with water. During cold and freezing weather conditions, an IE error code could mean the water in the water supply lines is frozen. Once the temperature increases above freezing, the water supply will resume. We recommend reinstalling the drain hose correctly, making sure the hot and cold water taps are open fully, making sure the drain hose is not kinked or damaged, and checking the inlet filter or water inlet valve for any mineral deposits or other debris that may be clogging. If it does not help, you will need to replace the water inlet valve, part number PS12374721, or the pressure switch, part number PS3526607. Customer service is available 7 days a week if you require assistance placing an order. Thanks again for reaching out!
THE WASHER MAKES A SQUEALING NOISE WHEN WATER IS ENTERING THE MACHINE, WHETHER AT START UP OR DURING RINSE CYCLES. WILL THIS BE CORRECTED BY REPLACING THE INLET VALVE?
For model number LG WT5001C
Hi Richard, thank you for your question. The issue is probably related to the water inlet valve, part number PS12374721. It controls the water flow into the washer. We hope this information helps!

Will this assembly take care of my issue: Regardless of the choice or setting i chose, if the wash selected requires water from the “hot water” inlet i get hot water only and never cold water no matter what setting. No blockage of cold water supply in any way, valve does not let cold to flow into washer.
For model number 79629002000
Hello Jay, thank you for writing. This could be due to a clogged or damaged Cold Inlet Hose, part number PS3635975 for your model. You may also want to consider this Inlet Valve Assembly part number PS12374721 as the cause. Good luck with your repair!

For model number wt4970cw
Hello Fred, Thank you for contacting us. It is possible that the solenoid for the hot water portion of the valve is not opening. You can test the water valve with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. Below is a link to our how-to video for using a multimeter. I hope this helps! Have a wonderful day and good luck with your repair!

I replaced the main control board on my LG top load washer and the cold water is still not flowing in, only extremely hot water.
What iadditional part would be required to replace the water intake valve?
For model number WT1101CW
Hello Anne, thank you for contacting us. We would recommend checking that the pressure of the main water supply is within the operational limits. If the pressure is fine, then you may need to check the water inlet valve, part number PS12374721. We also recommend checking the wire connection of the water inlet valve. We hope this solves your problem!

I have a slow leak from my washer. It appears to be at the inlet valve on the cold water intake part. I diagnosed by turning cold water off and on. When on, I see a tiny leak under the cylinder. When I look a back of the tub, I see water running down the outside of the tub.
I plan to replace the inlet valve. Any other suggestions? Thanks!
For model number WT5270CW
Hello Lori Anne, Thank you for your inquiry. We would also recommend checking the inlet hoses as well. We hope this helps you.
I want to get two mesh filters that fit into the plastic "Basket" fittings that are inserted into the HOT & COLD water intake connections. Can you provide them or provide contact information to someone who can?
For model number WT7200CW
Hello Jack, Thank you for the question. The Mesh Filters are not sold separate from the Water Inlet Valve. The Valve would need to be replaced. We hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
