Lg Washer WM3431HS Leaking

The Water Inlet Valve Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines, designed to control the flow of water into the laundry tub. This part is responsible for opening and closing to allow water into the wash drum at the appropriate times during the wash cycle, providing the correct water level and temperature.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly can include mineral deposits blocking the valve, electrical failure preventing the valve from opening or closing properly, or physical damage to the valve mechanism itself.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly include:

• Inadequate filling of the washer drum
• Water entering the drum when the washer is off
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle
• Water that is too hot or too cold, indicating a failure in valve operation that controls temperature

This OEM LG part can also be used on Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Pump Hose is an OEM replacement part for LG washing machines. It is a flexible tube that connects the pump assembly to the internal tub and spins through the detergent dispenser area. The pump hose is responsible for circulating and removing water during the wash and rinse cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad pump hose include:

• Leaks or water not fully draining from the washer 
• Slow or inefficient filling and draining of water  
• Pump running loudly or continuously
• Wet areas under or around the washer

Causes of failure can be cracks or splits developing in the tubing from repeated bending and flexing over time, or blockages restricting water flow.

It is also compatible with some Kenmore models.

This part may be black or gray in color.
