Lg 5220FR2075P Water Inlet Valve Assembly (Washer) OEM Part

Replaced the triple-solenoid cold water valve. I am 70 years old, and my washer/dryer set are 10 years old. They are LG brand. I found the model number in the owner's manual. The hardest part of the repair was moving two heavy beasts in a very confined space. I've replaced the two water pumps on the unit about 18 months ago and that was quite a challenge. This repair was a breeze. I removed the washer top, by unscrewing four screws at the back of the lid. This gave me very easy access to the solenoid valves. I decided that I would also replace the hot water solenoid at the same time, even though it wasn't leaking. If one valve wasn't sealing because it was worn or corroded from the water, I figured that the hot water solenoid would not be far behind it, and I didn't want to have to do it all again in a few months. I took a photo of the pipe connections and the wiring connections with my phone to ensure that I put it back together correctly. I worked unassisted, and it took me about 40 minutes to replace both the hot and could water solenoid valves. I literally spent more time clearing everything (baskets, clothes, cat's litter box, cat's food and water bowls, vacuum cleaners, chargers etc. etc.) from the laundry room than making the repairs. One thing worth noting - I shut off the hot and cold water faucets at the wall, and then ran a short wash cycle with nothing in the washer. After about 5 minutes I shut off the washer and unplugged it. That way I could be sure that the water pressure in the pipes and in the washer itself had been relieved and drained, and that the electricity was disconnected.

Replaced the hot and cold water intake valves. Very simple repair, hardest part was removing tubing from existing valves without breaking the water lines. Just took patience.

Wasn’t sure if it was hot or cold so I replaced both of the water inlet valves. So far all is well. Super easy repair.
