Jason June 26, 2023 for Model Number WM0642HW Hi-- It says part# 5220FR2008C (cold water inlet valve) has been discontinued, but there's no cross-reference to an alternate part that replaces this one? Can you please help direct me to the correct part? All the problem descriptions are the same as mine and indicate this part needs to be replaced. Thanks! --Jason
1 Answer Hello Jason, once a manufacturer discontinues a part there is no substitute part that is available that will work. Read More...
Pg March 19, 2018 for Model Number WM0642HW We are getting an FE code (LG washer) and washer stops, always at about 31 minutes on a full cycle. It appears water continues to run, and is being pumped out. I am thinking it could be the cold water inlet valve but want to make sure before buying. Is there a way to determine if it is this valve malfunctioning? Water also continues to run after turning off the washing machine. It only stops when we turn water off at the wall. Thank you.
1 Answer PG, If the water will not shut off when you shut the unit off then this will be a water valve issue. You will want to turn the hot water off first and see if the water continues to run then the cold water valve would be the issue. Read More...
Andrew August 22, 2014 for Model Number LG WM3677HM Replaced inlet valve with 5220FR2008C and start getting fault message IE. It stopped drying. I have been wondering if I actually should have put 5220FR2008E. Comments? Thanks.
1 Answer Andrew, The 1E error code is a water inlet error. This means the correct water level is not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water level within 25 minutes. The first step is double check the water supply is turned on. Since the water valve is new you will want to check to make sure that there is 120 vac getting to the valve when calling for water. If not then check the electrical connection between the main board and the water valve and if it checks ok then replace the main board. Read More...

Matt G March 27, 2014 for Model Number lg wm0642h When ever we use a pre-rinse or extra rinse or heavy soiled, we get a 'FE' error and it keeps filling with water and pumping it out. In a previous question from someone else you mention blowing out a hose to the pressure switch could it be that or the valve assembly.
1 Answer Matt, You will most certainly want to check the pressure switch hose to make sure that it is not clogged. This is a common type of issue where the hose gets clogged up. The most likely cause would be either a bad pressure switch or a bad water valve. You will want to test the pressure switch to make sure that it is working properly. Read More...
Mike February 19, 2014 for Model Number lm1832cw Continue to get an IE message during wash cycle. The cold water trickles into the pre-wash and wash dispensers. The hot water flows just fine. The cold water also flows well into fabric softener dispenser. What is the fix for this?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Correct water level (2 level) is not reached within 8 minutes after water is supplied or it does not reach the preset water level within 25 minutes. It sounds like you need to order and replace the cold water valve 5220FR2008C on the unit. Read More...
Bill February 12, 2014 for Model Number LG WM1832CW Occasionally (1 ou of every 3-4 washes) we get the FE error during the normal rinse cycle before the optional "extra rinse" cycle. Cold water continues to fill the tub and the drain is pumping (but not quite keeping up). If we turn off the washer, the cold water continues to fill the tub and the drain stops. If we shut off the inlet water valve at the wall, and run a spin cycle, once the drain has pumped out all the water and the spin cycle is done; the door unlocks. At this point if we turn on the inlet water valve at the wall again, everything is normal (no running cold water). Since it is not consistently doing this I'm not sure if it is the pressure sensor switch or the inlet value assembly. Which part do you think should be replaced? Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Bill. It sounds like the unit is siphoning out the water in the unit. Check and make sure there is only 6" of drain hose in the drain pipe. Also, make sure the drain pipe is 36" off the floor in height. You will need to check and make sure the drain hose has an air gap going into the drain pipe. If it is air tight, it will siphon.

Brian September 13, 2013 for Model Number #WM0532HW I got an FE error as the door of my washer gave way and gallons of water and clothes came spilling out. I turned off the power but the water kept running so I had to cut it off at the wall. I'm assuming I need an intake valve (Part #5220FR2008C)? problem part 2: The door will not lock now and I get a DE error. Do I need a Door Lock Switch Assembly (Part #AP4441836)?
1 Answer Hello Brain. Yes, you will need to replace the water valve and the door lock assembly on the unit. Most likely when the door burst open, it damaged the lock assembly. Read More...
Rebecka W May 19, 2013 for Model Number wm0642hw I have a FE and a PE code on my washer, I recently had a drain back up, could this have caused the error, and would I have to replace both water valves?
1 Answer Rebecka, A backed up drain could potentially cause the unit to come up the error codes. The PE is a pressure sensor error and the FE is overflow error. If the water backed up into the washer it could have gotten debris into the pressure hose which would cause this issue. If that is not the case then you will want to replace the pressure switch which would be out of order. Read More...
Rick June 27, 2012 for Model Number LG wm0642hw/01 I have an FE fault. How can I tell if it is a hot or cold water valve problem.
1 Answer Hello Rick, The FE fault code indicates an overfill condition. Spin out all of the water and unplug the unit. Locate the pressure switch and blow out the hose that leads from the pressure switch to the tub.If you would like, I was sending you some service related material pertaining to your machine, but your e-mail came back as permanently failed.
