LG5221ER1003A Genuine OEM Water Inlet Valve Assembly for LG Washing Machines

When I saw water leaking out from under my LG washing machine, I was riddled with anxiety. Yet another costly repair in an unending series of issues related to home ownership. But instead of immediately calling the repair guy and spending hundreds of dollars on a repair, I googled around, opened up the top of the machine and saw that this is an insanely common issue with these front load LG washers (LG WM3370HWA). I watched about 10 youtube videos on replacing this part and found it here on Amazon for $26. I ordered it, it came early the next morning, I braced myself and started my attempt to repair (sure that I would screw it up). Incredibly, I was able to remove and replace the part and put everything back together in under 30 minutes! I saved a ton of money, accomplished something, and gave myself a nice little boost of confidence! If you can use a screw driver and have enough strength to move the washing machine away from the wall, you too can do this! My machine is running great and the leak is gone! Highly recommend you try this before hiring a repairman or buying a new machine.

VERY economical buy and superior fit into our LG TROMM washer unit. This was a refresh of the module on a 18 year old unit. It's best to replace hot AND cold while you're in the machine. Works great.

It was very easy to install and it works fine! Highly recommend!

All went well. Fit, works, and does not leak.Unlike some of the negative reviews the hose threads were English not metric and all fit fine. Exact replacement even though the newer part number was different from the original. See the side by side photo and the photo showing the original part number.

Functioned as needed

Easy and perfect instructions and installation.

We began to notice our 8+ year old LG WM4270HVA washing machine had some water start coming into the tub after running cycles. The longer the washing machine sat without use, the more water would be in the tub. After doing some digging, the issue was this cold water inlet valve or the hot water inlet valve (we replaced both inlet valves). The cold water inlet valve had some fine sand in it.After replacing, no longer do we have any water issues coming into the tub water running cycles. The part was an exact fit. The inlet valve when opening and closing however is much louder than the original valve. Makes a pretty solid bang/clank sound (water hammer). Will see if this has a long term concerns or if the valve opening/closing sound improves over time. Update - we installed two Sioux water arrestors on the back of the washing machine, the water hammer noise is now unnoticeable.The inlet water replacement doesn't take more than 10 to 20 minutes. It's quite easy. There are YouTube videos on how to do it.

Fixed my LG that was (original part) leaking. Looks authentic (it's Amazon...so that's a problem) and installed very easily.
