5220FR2008F LG Water Inlet Valve

The Water Inlet Valve is a genuine OEM part designed for LG washing machines, and it is also compatible with Sears-Kenmore models. This component is crucial for regulating the water flow into the washing machine during its various cycles. It ensures that the right amount of water is filled into the drum to maintain efficient washing results. The valve operates through solenoids which respond to commands from the machine’s control board, opening and closing as needed.

It is advisable to replace the inlet valve assembly if you notice any malfunctions or damage. Common issues that may necessitate a replacement include mineral deposits from hard water, electrical problems, or general wear and tear. A faulty valve can disrupt the water flow, which might compromise the washing machine's performance.

Signs that the inlet valve assembly may need attention include:

- No water entering the washing machine
- Slow or inconsistent water flow
- Incomplete filling of the washing machine
- Water leakage around the valve area

Regular maintenance and timely replacement of the inlet valve can help ensure your washing machine operates smoothly and efficiently.
