Lg AJU72992601 Primary Water Inlet Valve OEM Part

I replaced the solenoid valve and trimmed a small amount of the tubing that serves the ice maker and water dispenser. The only problem was there is almost NO slack in that tubing. If you trim more than a half inch off, you won't have enough tubing to connect it on both ends.

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.

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.

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