George April 17, 2020 for Model Number Lg washer wm2487hwm Intermittent problem. Washer keeps filling and shows an FE code. It happens occasionally, and so far only when running a warm/cold wash cycle. It hasn’t occurred when running a cold/cold cycle. Would this likely be caused by a malfunctioning inlet valve? If so, which one? From what I’ve found, this model shows two inlet valves, 5220FR2006H and 5220FR2008F.
1 Answer George, if the hot water valve 5220FR2006H is receiving 120VAC during a failure, the failure would be in the hot water valve based on the information provided. Read More...
Charlie Weber May 27, 2019 for Model Number WM1812CW Water has started appearing inside my LG front loader. We notice this after it has been sitting for several days. Could this be a leaky inlet valve?
1 Answer Charlie, With water entering the unit in the off position then check for a valve that is clogged at the inlet screens and if they are not then this would most likely be a faulty water inlet valve. Read More...
Jim May 20, 2018 for Model Number WM2016CW I bought this washer used a week ago. It works fine. But when it first starts up. It sound like water pulsating like a machine gun for a few short seconds. Then another few short second. I am assuming this is the Detergent being watered down into the tube. Then the water runs smoothly into the tube. Later when the rinse starts. The same thing happens again. I am thinking that this is the Softener draining into the tube next. My question is this. I this sound of pulsating water normal? It is rattling my water pipes and is noisy in the house when it does this. Are the solenoids dirty inside and sticking? If so. Can they be cleaned? Should I just replace the part?
1 Answer Jim, the "water pulsating like a machine gun for a few short seconds." would not be the water being directed to the detergent or softener being dispensed or "draining into the tube". You may want to replace both inlet valves 5220FR2075L / 5220FR2075L Water Inlet Valve and 5220FR2006H / 5220FR2006H Water Inlet Valve. being a "used" machine there's no telling how long the machine set before you got it. The internal diaphragms, could have deposits or gotten "stiff" and are fluctuating as the water passes through the valve body. It could also be "water hammer" in your plumbing, you'll want to check for proper water flow and pressure at the faucets, if the problem persists. Read More...
Jaquay S May 17, 2018 for Model Number WT7600HWA / DLEX7600WE What is the part / hose I need to connect from the washer to the dryer for the steam to work on the dryer.
1 Answer Jaquay, You would want to get the accessory assembly AAA75232311 which has 2 hoses and a Y coupler. Read More...
Jaquay S May 17, 2018 for Model Number WT7600HWA Water is constantly leaking from the “jet spray”. It just continues to drip out. It continues to drip until I shut the water to the washer off. What do I need to replace to fix this?
1 Answer Jaquay, This issue would most likely be caused by a faulty water valve on the unit. Read More...
Mary November 12, 2017 for Model Number WM3001HRA Water was continuously running into the dispenser tray with an FE error so already replaced the hot and cold water intake valves. That fixed the rushing water problem, but a new issue has popped up. When I use cold water in a cycle the detergent and softener dispenser do not disburse the liquids. Water rushes into the pre-wash tray but nothing is released from the detergent and softener bins. Also, now when I use hot water for a cycle there is a intermittent hissing sound when water flushes the dispenser tray and the hot water line on the back of the machine jumps every time the machine pulls in water. This did not happen before I replaced the water intake valves. The parts are from an LG authorized dealer. Why is this happening?
1 Answer Mary, Check and make sure you installed the cold water fill valve correctly, and the tubes to the dispenser housing aren't kinked, twisted, have sharp bends. The dispensers operate on cold water supply and a "syphon" process. Remove the dispenser cups, and check to make sure the tubes and caps aren't clogged with softener, detergent, etc. Recheck the cold water fill valve screen to make sure it isn't clogged with sediment, check the hose to make sure it's not kinked or twisted, etc. You may want to "flush" the cold water faucet and supply line, to make sure you have plenty of cold water supply to the washer. The hoses "jumping" is due to a pressure difference. it is possible that the new valve has a different tolerance and can open and close rapidly or more rapidly than the previous valve solenoids.

Ron October 31, 2017 for Model Number WM2487HRMA My LG washer Model# WM2487HRMA is over filling the washer to the point that it pops the door open and floods the house. Would that be the inlet values or the pressure switch?
1 Answer Ron, With the unit overfilling during the machine running you will want to check to see if the pressure hose is clogged and if it is not then the issue will most likely be the pressure switch. Also check to see if the water will stop running when the unit is unplugged. If it does not then will be a faulty valve. Read More...
Madison October 17, 2017 I just bought my LG washer off my aunt, it's around a year old, it worked for the first few days I had it hooked up then one day noticed water was spraying everywhere from the part where the hose screws on. I've tried a new hose and rubber washer but I think now that it is the part. What is the part where the hose screws on so I can order another?
1 Answer Madison, Based on your post description and information, you're on track, on target. The fill valve or water inlet valve is damaged and leaking and will need to be replaced. Unfortunately, you didn't include a model number of the washer, we won't be able to check or verify the proper part number to repair your machine. The production tag with the model and serial number is located on the right upper corner of the loading area, when the door is opened, and it usually starts with a WM**** . Thanks, Read More...
Eric September 19, 2017 for Model Number AP4440713 Is this item made by LG or aftermarket made? Thank you
Ronald K January 25, 2015 for Model Number LG WM2487H The liquid soap tray/dish does not completely empty. I have checked to hoses from the 4 station valve assembly and they are clear. The trays have been removed and cleaned. The input cold water filter is clean. I think I have two choices. Either the valve assembly is bad or the signals from the mother board to the valves are not working. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot between these two units?Ron
1 Answer Ronald, You will want to check the ports at the top of the housing to make sure that it is clear. To test the valves you would test for continuity and should have a resistance value of 0.8 - 1.2K ohms of resistance. If the resistance is incorrect then replace the valve. If they check ok then the control board would be the issue. Read More...
