This inlet valve assembly controls the flow of water into the washer so cycles fill correctly and on schedule. A direct-fit replacement that restores proper water delivery and helps prevent overfilling or no-fill conditions. What it does:

• Opens and closes to allow cold and hot water into the tub during fill cycles.
• Responds to the washer's control signals to deliver the correct water amount.
• Commonly replaces a valve that leaks, won't fill, fills slowly, or causes continuous filling.
• Helps resolve related error codes or fill/level issues when caused by a faulty valve.

• Disconnect power and shut off both water supply lines before starting work.
• Drain remaining water from hoses and use caution when handling connectors.
• Inspect inlet hoses and seals; replace damaged hoses or seals to prevent leaks.
• After installation, restore water and power, then run a short test cycle to check for proper fill and leaks.

A replacement hose clamp that secures a flexible hose to its fitting to help prevent leaks and disconnections. Restores a tight, reliable seal so hoses stay seated during normal use. What it does:

• Holds a rubber or plastic hose firmly to a pump, valve or connection to prevent leaks.
• Helps stop hose pull-off that can cause water leaks or appliance interruptions.
• Commonly replaced when clamps are corroded, bent, cracked or missing.
• Works as a low-cost repair to restore a secure hose connection without replacing the hose assembly.

• Disconnect power to the appliance and shut off the water supply before servicing.
• Use the correct tool (slip-joint pliers for spring-style clamps or a screwdriver for screw-type clamps) and avoid pinching the hose.
• Inspect the hose and fitting for damage; replace the hose if it's cracked or excessively worn.
• After installing, restore power/water and run a short test cycle or check for leaks.

This NTC thermistor is a refrigerator temperature sensor that monitors cooling system temperature and helps the control board maintain proper operation. It replaces a failed sensor to restore accurate temperature sensing and reliable cycle control. What it does:

• Measures internal temperature and sends a changing resistance signal to the control board
• Helps the fridge adjust compressor/fan cycles for stable cooling
• Common symptom fix: erratic or incorrect temperatures, frequent cycling, or temperature-related error codes
• Works as the sensor used in evaporator/air temperature sensing circuits (model-dependent)

• One NTC thermistor sensor (wiring and connector as shown)

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or damage
• Handle the sensor and wiring gently; avoid kinking or stretching the lead wires
• Mount and route the sensor per the unit's service diagram so it contacts the intended location
• Verify sensor response with a multimeter (NTC resistance should change with temperature) or follow the manufacturer's service procedure

This pump hose routes washer tub water to the drain pump, helping remove wash water during the drain cycle. Replace a cracked or clogged hose to stop leaks and restore normal draining. What it does:

• Channels tub water to the drain pump so the washer can expel water during drain/spin cycles.
• A worn or cracked hose can cause water leaks under the machine.
• Blocked or collapsed hoses can contribute to slow or incomplete draining.
• Compatible replacement for the OEM pump hose connection on qualifying LG washers.

• One pump hose (single hose as shown)

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before beginning any repairs.
• Confirm correct routing and secure clamps when installing to prevent leaks.
• Inspect adjacent clamps and fittings for wear; replace if corroded or damaged.

This protective cover shields internal components and wiring from dirt, moisture and accidental contact, helping keep the appliance safe and functioning properly. It's a small replacement panel that restores the appliance's factory protection. What it does:

• Covers and protects internal parts and wiring from debris and accidental impact
• Prevents loose components from rattling or shifting during operation
• Helps maintain proper spacing and alignment of nearby panels and clips
• Addresses symptoms like visible damage, missing cover, exposed wiring, or unusual noise from loose trim

• Disconnect power before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Typically secures with clips or a few screws; use basic hand tools and take care not to strip fasteners
• Inspect mounting tabs and surrounding trim for damage; replace any broken clips before reassembly

A replacement holder assembly that secures and supports internal components for proper alignment and operation. Restores stable mounting where the original bracket is cracked, bent, or broken so the appliance runs quietly and reliably. What it does

• Provides a secure mounting point for internal parts that rely on a fixed support
• Prevents rubbing, misalignment, and excess vibration caused by a damaged holder
• Helps restore correct component positioning to improve part interaction and operation
• Commonly used when the original bracket is cracked, worn, or no longer holds parts firmly

• One holder assembly

• Disconnect power before starting any repair; shut off water supply if the repair requires opening plumbing
• Basic hand tools typically required; handle clips and tabs gently to avoid damage
• Inspect adjacent components for wear and replace if needed for a long-lasting repair

This control panel assembly replaces the front user interface and button/touch controls so you can restore normal control of oven functions and display information. Fits the original factory mounting and connections for a direct replacement. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or unresponsive front control buttons, touchpad, and status display
• Restores the ability to select cycles, start/stop, and change settings from the console
• Common symptom fix: unresponsive or intermittent control inputs and blank or incorrect display messages
• Works with the existing wiring harness and mounting points for a straightforward swap

• Disconnect power to the appliance before accessing internal components to avoid shock or injury
• Remove any trim or access panels to reach the control assembly
• Handle the display and ribbon cables carefully; flexing or pulling can damage connectors

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.

Includes sensor probe
