These instructions are perfect. I'm waiting on the part and as a female, I feel confident that I can fix my own washer. The technician had already milked me for $100 when I told him this was the problem. He came back and wanted to charge me $300 extra dollars. I politely told him no. DIY
Danise Jackson I agree with Danise. I had the same problem with my LG and was able to replace the valve in 15 minutes. It took longer to clean the lint behind the washer than to replace the valve. I went ahead and replaced both the cold and hot valves while I had the washer torn down. Good video. I probably saved 300.00 or so like Danise. The two valves I purchased were genuine LG parts and cost about 68.00 for the two. Good job!
I had a professional assess my washer and was told the part was obsolete. I put up with the additional time it took to wash a load of laundry for almost a year. I decided to research the issue prior to buying a new washer and dryer and this video saved me a lot of money. I purchased the inlet valve for less than $15.00 and it worked!! Thanks!
Thank you so very much for these instructions! My husband and I got the part in less than 24 hours from Amazon and our washer is working again. While I have total respect for repairmen in general (as there are many repairs I have no business handing) it's nice to know that something as simple as this can be done by the homeowner.
This video was spot on! Our washer flooded our laundry room and bedroom. I found the part locally and husband followed easy video instruction. Fifteen minutes later washer was up and running with no issues. Note the part was $50-$60 range online but couldn't get it until a week later. The only local parts house that had it charged $95. So decide if you want to save money and wait for laundry to pile up. It was worth the extra cash to get washer running. At the very least we saved $$ on a technician service call. Excellent video!
WE ARE REPLACING OURS LG COMPACT THAT WORTH FIXING HUSBAND CANNOT DO WORK AND ITS 7 YRS OLD PLUS ITS LOADED IN A BROOM CLOSET VERY VERY DANGEROUS TO GE T OUT GETTING NEW MODEL LG
I had the same issue with my LG front loader. It would not stop filling with water. I took the inlet valve out, both hot and cold, cleaned out the valves and worked like a champ. Was a 10 minute fix and didn't cost me a dime.
You're welcome! We are always happy to help. If you would like to give us a review on Google, we would much appreciate it: g.page/r/CcVUrahZNozMEBM/review We hope that you have a great day!
This video only addresses the cold water inlet valve, not the hot water valve. If my LG washing machine (almost identical to the one in the video) is leaking water into the drum when not in use, how do I know if it's the cold water or hot water valve? Is it only ever the cold water side that causes this problem?
Very helpful! Was able to replace the inlet valve on my own. Replacement part on Amazon was approx. $35. The broken inlet valve was causing the washer to continue filling and then would overflow out the loader. The only trouble I had was getting the top of the LG unit off - 10 year old unit. I needed to use a pair of gardening gloves for extra leverage which did the trick with a little 'umph'. Would recommend having both a wrench and pair of pliers handy.
THANK YOU!!! Just replaced the part earlier today with the help of your EXCELLENT,easy to understand video...this coming from a guy with the most basic of tools and NOT the biggest comprehension of repair,not to mention saving me,I would say, at least $150 in labor costs...If I could do this with the help of your easy to understand video,then ANYONE can!!! Thanks Again!!!!!
Thank you! This video was perfect in helping me fix my washing machine. I was about ready to give up on it and purchase a new one when I came across this video. It was very easy to follow step-by-step. I had my laptop on the dryer next to my washing machine and played and paused each step. Again, thank you!!!
Thank you so much for this video!!! This saved us SO much time and money. We ordered the valve on Amazon prime, got it in two days, installed it in less than 15 mins and our washer is back to working again! Thank you immensely!
*** FLOODSAFE HOSES *** Make sure you also check the hoses. I had these Floodsafe hoses that worked in isolation but would "collapse inside" when connected to the washer. Replacing the hoses and keeping the old valves was the real solution for me!!!
Helpful tip for correct reassembly is to number each coil, it's wiring connector and hose on the clamp On the old valve before removal. Remove the old valve, number the new valve on each coil exactly like the old one and match up numbers on the hoses and wiring clips for fool proof reassembly.
Yep. And for any repair on any item in the house your smartphone is your backup. Take an initial photo of the current setup. Use some painters tape and number each item - as you mentioned - as painters tape pretty much sticks to anything and comes off easily with no mess.. Move something - take a photo. Makes the reassembling easy as.
Thanks for posting this video. I had to pay $100 to be sure this was the problem. They wanted to charge me another $280 to fix it. Thanks to this video, I'm only going to have to pay another $85 for the part.
My hoses weren't quite that easily removed, but otherwise these instructions were perfect! (I just used a flat screwdriver to carefully pry around the edges while pulling). THANK YOU!
Hi Repair clinic, I got the part from you and have done everything, I feel that i may have replace a hose or 2 onto the incorrect outlets... how will i know and what can i do? Thanks
I have an lg top load washer and the rare times i've used it i see water pouring in even when i select spin only mode. Does this mean I need to change the inlet valve? I also get constant UL errors when I have larger loads in tehre..
Thank you so much for posting this. It's a simple fix that takes about $23.00 and 5 minutes with a part found on Amazon. I replaced both the hot and cold, but only the cold was leaking. It seemed likely the how would leak shortly after.
Thank you for this video. I replaced the cold water valve and now the prewash tube connecting to the dispenser keeps popping off-it bulges then blows off at the beginning of the cycle. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Bought the washer at habitat 2 weeks ago and have HARD hammer pipe. I currently have 2 inline pressure valves on both hot and cold lines and still have hammer pipe. Will replacing these help or is there something else I can do?
I have a LG WM1814CW. It appears to be leaking cold water from the vicinity of the water inlet valves. Any thoughts on whether this could be a problem with one of the valves or one of the connections?
+Mikey B I have the same thing - but it's the valve [?] or whatever the part on the hot water inlet is. You can see it in this video - similar to the valve that was replaced, but much smaller. I need to figure out what the part is so I can replace it...
I have an LG Model WM2487H*MA. The washer spins dry but if it is left empty for a day it slowly fills up with a little water. The washer is not signaling anything is wrong yet but I would like to repair it before it turns into a major problem. Do you think this could be the Inlet Valve?
+Robyn Keller I could be a bad water inlet valve. The other possibility is low water pressure to the appliance. Low pressure will allow water to get through the valve when not in use.
Just had to replace the valve and you missed the most important step. After putting hoses back on the new valve and putting clamps in place attach inlet hose and pressurize lines for a few minuets and check for LEAKS, I left mine attached and under pressure for 10 min. No leaks. Installing defective dripping valve can cause damage to other components costing more.
hi, I have a WM2688HWM - randomly after a good working wash cycle we can come back to the washer and find standing water when there was none earlier. We haven't timed it but it seems like its at least an 1 hour or few hours and the washer will have standing water. Also, it doesn't do it every time. the water seems clean and I drain it every time using the drain line and filter removal and a bucket. I'm thinking its the cold water valve as this is clean water and its happening way after a cycle??? does this sound right? for the price of the part online, its worth a shot for me and I don't mind buying and trying this if it maybe the culprit.thanks in advance,-J
jasontamu did you ever fix the issue with your washer? I have the same model washer and I got the same problem, but I get an FE error and where I put the detergent there or water that is coming out of there and t won't stop unless I shut the water valve... I'm trying to figure out if this is will fix the problem as I searched the error code online and it says that the inlet water valve needs to be replaced.
my lg front load washer had IE code after chatting with LG rep we determined that it was the code water inlet . when I opened it I could see that it was corroded and the hot inlet still looks good. I turned it on and it was working fine for about 5 minutes then generated an FE code. does anybody know what could be the problem . the washing machine seems to keep filling and emptying and doesn't go into the next cycle. I read somewhere online says I have to replace both the hot and cold water inlet valve. is that correct?
I have replaced TWO inlet valves…a “generic” part, and then in from LG directly. BOTH have had the rubber hose inside the washer from the left ballooning. It is the hose that is connected to a “crossroads” valve. I have loosened the water hose and it still wants to explode. I have video
I have an LG WM0642HW washer. Irrespective of what settings I use, the washer always washes my clothes in hot water. I even have a custom setting to use only cold water. Even if I select the custom setting, the clothes still get washed in hot water. There are no error codes on the display. Is this a inlet valve problem?
+Hemanth RC That washer has two valves. Perhaps you have the hot water supply line is hooked up to the cold valve. Under normal operating conditions the majority of the cycles will use cold water.
I HAVE LG WASHING MACHINE MODEL#: F8091MD2, IF THE WATER INLET VALVE IS OPENED FOR SOME TIME THE WASHING TUB IS FILLED WITH WATER, EVEN THE MACHINE IS NOT RUNNING. WHAT MAY BE THE PROBLEM
My lg tromm vm3677hw fills hot water very very very slowly, almost like dripping, but if i choose cold wash it does very fast. Is it possible that this is the problem?
Gustavo Bessone That model number appears to be incomplete. We recommend that you verify the model number and then enter it into our website's repair help section: www.repairclinic.com.
Mine was full of brick dust but electronic valves working fine so I disassembled and cleaned the water intake and the small piston valves which were locked by dust then I lubricate valves. Before this cleaning valves were partially open so that washing machine call always for water!
when my dishwasher is running, I am getting water leaking out the filter screen. Is this an inlet or drain issue. Not sure how it could be caused by the drain. Thanks.
Byron Godard We are not sure what you are describing as the filter screen. Leaking during the wash cycle could caused by a bad seal in the circulation motor housing or a crack in a wash arm.
Byron Godard We would remove the front panel or at least the filter cover to see if you can tell where it is leaking from. th-cam.com/video/hVQXGjmWyfE/w-d-xo.html Here is a video on an LG circulation pump.
I ha an LG Washer, Model WM2688HWMA. I recently replaced the bearings which also involved replacing the rear outer tub, the old one had cracks around where the seal should go and would not allow it to snap into place. I did clean the inlet valve filters while I had the hoses off. Within the first couple of days, we had an FE code which sounded the alarm and we caught it in time to avoid problems. Today the front door on the washer burst open with water going every where and lots of water still in the tub so I figure it over filled. There was no alarm though. Question(s), what should I check, the inlet valve(s) or the water level control or all of the above. Or just replace these items? One thing, the top hose (largest one) had a different part inline than the original which was mushroom shaped.

my washer wm2487hwma runs water into the drum during the spin cycle, which I'm assuming is why i have never ending spin cycles currently. When i unplug the water is still running... could this be a water inlet issue?
Steven Lefebvre You may be observing the rinse function of the washer. You are saying the washer takes too long to complete a load or it is getting hung up in spin? That would be a motor speed or control issue and not a water inlet issue.
Im having the same issue as Steven. it gets stuck always with 7 minutes to go on the cycle. Cycle says spin but in is adding water (rinising) into the drum. When you say motor speed or control issue. Do you mean that my problem is a bad main powerboard assembly? How do i troubleshoot this? Thanks.

How do I do this myself when I have a dryer sitting on top of the washing machine ?
I changed my inlet valve and now am getting a loud water hammer whenever I run the washer. Any idea if the two are connected?
Any tricks for confirming it isn't the hot water valve? I don't think my tub fills quickly enough to sense any temperature difference
I love it. Now how do I get rid of the mildew on the rubber ring where you open the washing machine door?
I use purple power on mine and it works great
Great video. I get an IE error code only when I use the tub clean option. So I can assume that the hot water inlet valve only needs replacing then?
