How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4671476 / AJU72992601 Primary Water Inlet Valve

Following the video, I removed the old assembly and replaced it with the new one I ordered from AppliancePartsPros.com. However, the tubing leading from the new valve to the ice maker wouldn't seat properly in the coupling; it sprayed water when I turned it on. I finally figured out that the old tubing was stiff with age (6 years). I went to Ace Hardware, bought some 5/16" tubing, a brass tubing connector and small adjustable pipe clamps. I then cut the old tubing about 2 feet downstream from the valve, used the brass connector and a couple of small pipe clamps to join the new tubing to the old, then seated the new tubing end into the valve assembly. It worked. The 2 hours of work time included the trip to the hardware store. If the old tubing hadn't been a problem it would have taken maybe 20 minutes. 

I googled the mfg part number on the internet and started searching for similiar issues on the internet. I replaced the water inlet valve after a live chat agent assisted that helped me through it. It was very conveniant and parts may have taken three days to come in. I the parts and everything seems to be working fine. 

It was real easy to do , your video help I just followed it . It took no time at all. Thank you 

I opened up the bottom back cover, and saw that the water valve assembly was leaking. I ordered a replacement part and watched the appliancepartspros.com video on how to do the replacement. A repair technician quoted me $390 to do the repair. The part only cost $85 and the repair took a total of 8 minutes to complete. 

Checked water flow from input line { tested ok good flow} Replaced input fill valve . Easy install All OK . 

Removed and replaced the water inlet valve. 

I noticed a water leak in my basement and traced it to the fridge area. Upon sliding my fridge out, I realized the floor was completely soaked and the linoleum was even peeling up. There was a steady drip coming from the bottom of the water line connection. I tried to simply put new plumbers tape on the connection, but it continued to drip. I capped off the line and came here to see if there was a part that needed to be replaced. I ordered the water valve assembly. Installation was super easy, and the video on the page was very helpful. Just turn off power and water, take off the bottom panel, unplug the old module, put in the new one, and it's ready to go. I also ordered a new plastic water line, as some reviews stated it was too short. My replacement part looked identical and the water line didn't need to be replaced. I turned the water on and monitored for leaks for a bit. It seems to be fixed with no leaking or dripping. It's not easy to monitor for leaks behind the fridge. So fingers crossed that I don't see water dripping in the basement anytime soon! 

Followed the directions in Appliance Parts Pros video and used the part purchased on Appliance Parts Pros website. Piece of cake. Thanks 

Found very slow drip coming from the water valve assembly. Googled the problem and it seems to be very common. Checked youtube and found a video of the exact same repair. AppliancePartsPros had the part and got it to me in two days as I selected. Two electrical connections that disconnect easily and one screw mounting. Easy replacement. 

My LG refrigerator had a leak in the hose leading from the water valve to the filter inside. Replaced the hose and also replaced valve because it was 15 years old. The repair videos were great and entire job took less than 35 minutes.
