5220FR2006Z LG Inlet Valve Assembly

The Inlet Valve Assembly is an essential part designed for LG front-loading washers, also compatible with Sears-Kenmore models. This OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) component is responsible for managing the flow of water into the washing machine's tub. It features robust solenoid valves and high-quality sealing elements that automatically regulate the entry of hot and cold water during various washing cycles.

Common issues with a faulty inlet valve may involve the accumulation of mineral deposits that block the valve ports, deterioration of the valve seals which might cause leaks, or electrical problems that affect the operation of the solenoids.

Indicators of a malfunctioning inlet valve assembly are:
- Inability of the washer to fill with water
- Inconsistent water temperatures during operation
- Leakage from valve connections
- Display of error codes concerning water level or temperature issues

Understanding these signs can help in identifying and addressing problems with the inlet valve assembly promptly, ensuring the efficient performance of your washing machine.
