This inlet hose is the internal water line for your dishwasher, routing fresh water from the fill valve into the wash system. Replacing a brittle or leaking hose restores reliable filling and helps protect floors and cabinetry from water damage.

• Channels incoming water from the inlet valve to the tub/sump
• Maintains proper fill level and flow at the start of each cycle
• A cracked, kinked, or loose hose can cause leaks or slow/no fill
• Restores correct water delivery and helps prevent water damage

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Pull the dishwasher forward for access; place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Note the original routing and clamp positions; transfer clamps and avoid kinks
• Restore water, run a quick fill cycle, and check all connections for leaks

This tub cover forms the front half of the washer's outer tub. It seals the tub and provides the mounting lip for the door boot, helping prevent leaks and keeping the spin basket properly aligned with the cabinet opening.

• Seals the front of the outer tub and provides a secure seat for the door boot/bellows
• Contains wash water during all cycles to prevent leaks and splashing
• Maintains proper clearance for the spin basket to avoid contact with the front opening
• Common failure symptoms include leaks at the front or bottom of the cabinet, visible cracks/warping, or the door boot repeatedly coming loose or tearing

• Disconnect power and water; wear gloves and protect sharp edges
• Remove top and front panels; release the outer boot clamp and peel the door boot from the front panel. Detach any hoses/wiring from the cover, remove the perimeter bolts, and transfer any fittings from the old cover
• Clean sealing surfaces; inspect/replace the tub-to-cover gasket if your model uses a separate one. Seat the new cover and tighten fasteners evenly in a crisscross pattern
• Reinstall the boot and clamp carefully, reassemble the cabinet, and run a fill/spin test to check for leaks

This base bracket mounts to the washer's lower frame to hold associated components securely in place. By keeping parts properly anchored, it helps maintain alignment and stability during operation to minimize vibration and noise.

• Supports smooth, quieter operation by reducing vibration and rattling
• Common signs of failure include a bent or cracked bracket, loose/misaligned parts, or unusual noises from the base area

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; move the appliance for safe access
• Carefully tip or lay the washer back on protective padding; use a helper for stability
• Note the bracket's orientation and reuse existing mounting hardware as applicable
• Tighten fasteners securely and verify nearby parts have proper clearance before test run

This Leg Adjusting Wrench is a simple tool used to turn and secure appliance leveling legs so washers and dryers sit flat and operate quietly. It makes adjusting legs faster and helps reduce rocking and vibration. What it does:

• Fits over standard appliance leveling legs to raise or lower each corner

• Reduces vibration and noise caused by unlevel appliances
• Useful when installing, moving, or re-leveling washers and dryers

• Turn legs slowly and adjust one corner at a time until the appliance sits level.
• Unplug the appliance (and shut off gas supply for gas dryers) before performing major moves or checks.
• Use caution to avoid pinching fingers when lowering legs; keep hands clear of pinch points.
• Check for damaged feet or mounting hardware and replace as needed.

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 Air Chamber is an OEM part for LG washing machines. This part connects to the pressure switch and ensures the washer machine fills with the correct amount of water for the selected cycle. 

Causes of a bad  Air Chamber can include clogging due to detergent residue or debris, cracks or perforations that lead to air leaks, and aging of the material, which might compromise its integrity and function.

Symptoms of a faulty Air Chamber include:

• Inaccurate water level readings leading to overfilling or insufficient water during cycles
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle, indicating air escaping
• The washing machine failing to start the wash cycle due to improper water level detection
• Error codes displayed on the machine that relate to water level issues

This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
