Parts for Lg WM3477HW: Control Panel And Dispenser Parts

This is the refrigerator's water inlet valve assembly. It controls and directs household water into the dispenser and ice maker as needed, restoring proper water flow and ice production.

• Opens to supply water to the ice maker and dispenser when energized
• A common fix for no/low water at the dispenser
• Can resolve no ice production due to no water fill
• May address leaks or continuous dripping from the dispenser/ice maker
• Failure can present as buzzing or clicking with little/no water flow

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Have a towel or small container ready to catch residual water
• Note hose and wire locations or take photos before removal
• After installation, restore water and power, then check for leaks and run a test fill

The Water Inlet Valve Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines, designed to control the flow of water into the laundry tub. This part is responsible for opening and closing to allow water into the wash drum at the appropriate times during the wash cycle, providing the correct water level and temperature.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly can include mineral deposits blocking the valve, electrical failure preventing the valve from opening or closing properly, or physical damage to the valve mechanism itself.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly include:

• Inadequate filling of the washer drum
• Water entering the drum when the washer is off
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle
• Water that is too hot or too cold, indicating a failure in valve operation that controls temperature

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

This knob assembly replaces a worn or broken control knob so you can reliably set and adjust appliance settings. It restores a secure, easy-to-turn interface for the appliance's control shaft. What it does:

• Fits onto the control shaft to allow manual selection of settings and temperatures.
• Replaces cracked, stripped, or loose knobs that no longer grip the control shaft.
• Helps resolve issues where the control won't turn smoothly or slips while changing settings.
• Restores tactile feedback for accurate user control.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before removing or installing the knob.
• Pull the old knob straight off the control shaft.
• Align the knob's internal splines with the control shaft and push until fully seated.
• If knob does not seat or control still slips, inspect shaft splines and replace damaged components as needed.

This inlet hose connects your appliance to the household water supply, delivering water where needed and helping prevent leaks at the connection. Use it to restore reliable water fill and flow. What it does:

• Transfers cold (or cold/hot where applicable) water from the household supply to the appliance
• Provides a sealed connection at the inlet to prevent drips and leaks
• Restores normal water fill when a cracked or blocked hose is causing no/low fill
• Helps correct intermittent filling or water pressure issues caused by damaged hoses

• Turn off the home's water supply and unplug the appliance before replacing the hose
• Inspect the hose ends and gaskets; replace gaskets if worn to ensure a watertight seal
• Hand-tighten fittings, then give a firm quarter-turn with a wrench; do not overtighten
• After installation, restore water and power, then check connections for leaks during an initial fill cycle

The Pump Hose is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It is a flexible tube that connects the pump assembly to the internal tub and spins through the detergent dispenser area. The pump hose is responsible for circulating and removing water during the wash and rinse cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad pump hose include:

• Leaks or water not fully draining from the washer 
• Slow or inefficient filling and draining of water  
• Pump running loudly or continuously
• Wet areas under or around the washer

Causes of failure can be cracks or splits developing in the tubing from repeated bending and flexing over time, or blockages restricting water flow.

It is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This pivot hanger assembly supports and stabilizes the appliance component it mounts to, restoring smooth movement and alignment. Replace a worn or damaged pivot to reduce noise and prevent misalignment that can affect operation. What it does:

• Acts as the pivot point for the hanger to support the drum/door assembly and maintain correct alignment
• Helps eliminate squeaks, scraping, or jerky motion caused by a worn pivot
• Prevents sagging or uneven movement that can lead to rubbing or binding
• Restores proper mechanical support so the appliance operates quietly and reliably

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before beginning any repair
• Basic hand tools may be required; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly steps
• Inspect surrounding components (mounts, bearings, fasteners) and replace if worn

This spring-style hose clamp secures a washer's rubber hose to its fitting to maintain a tight, leak-resistant seal. Replacing a weakened clamp helps stop drips and keeps the hose firmly in place during operation.

• Provides constant spring tension to hold a rubber hose on its port
• Helps prevent leaks at the connection point
• Resists vibration so the hose doesn't back off the fitting
• Common signs include water at a hose joint, a loose/detached hose, or a rusted/broken clamp

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water from hoses
• Use pliers to compress the ears, slide off the old clamp, position the new clamp behind the hose bead, and release evenly
• After reassembly, run a quick test cycle and check for leaks

The Clamp is an OEM part for LG washing machines. It is used to secure the hose connections within the washer, ensuring that water flows correctly without leaks.

Over time, the clamp can become worn or damaged due to repeated exposure to water, vibration, or general wear and tear. If the clamp fails, it can lead to water leaks or hoses becoming detached.

Symptoms of a bad clamp include:

• Water leaking from hose connections
• Hoses coming loose or detaching during operation
• Visible rust or damage on the clamp
• Poor water flow or pressure issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore models.
