Jeremy for Model Number WM2301HR LG Washer, bad rear bearing, bought the parts from your site, wasn't the easiest job but wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. Video was a lifesaver. I am reassembling the washer and I have 2 parts that I didn't notice while taking apart. I have discovered they are water inlet controls, or Floats. Kind of looks like a mushroom. I found the parts diagram for my washer, they are not shown in the diagram. I do not know where they go, and I'm pretty sure they are important, so i stopped and checked your forums and cannot find anything on this, thoughts? Thanks
Answer Hello Jeremy, These are called the "mushroom valves". As you stated this is what they look like. They go into the outer tub assembly where the hoses connect. Their purpose is to "pop" bubbles to prevent them from getting out of the tub as dripping water during the wash. They seem to be useless until the unit has a bit too much soap added. At this time they are worth their weight in gold to prevent water damage to the unit and home. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Friday, January 20, 2017
