Great VIDEO - WOW - quickly go through what could go wrong. In our case, it was the cold water inlet valve (the one with three connections). The top right solenoid had discoloration and slight warping at the top - sure enough it leaked quite bad during operation. Just ordered the OEM version from Amazon about $23 - Thanks again for this instructional video!
Wow, nice job👍
Hey, I just wanted to extend my gratitude and appreciation for this video. My LG was leaking for about 2 wks (it’s only 5 yrs old-possibly less than), and I like to fix things myself as a single woman with Zero knowledge on fixing these types of issues. After watching this video, to determine the source of the leak, this video was EXACTLY what I needed. I followed your vid and found my leak from the part where you tapped your finger. I went to my local plumbing store with the part and I gave them the serial number of my washing machine and they ordered a new part. It was approximately $56. Canadian and I came home and installed it. I ran a cycle, and I am happy to say the leak is gone. I do most of my fixes off of TH-cam videos and yours was perfect. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
I love that, congratulations on fixing it yourself ❤️😊👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance ☺️ Thank you so much 😁
I am so grateful to you sir for posting this video. You saved me much money in repair bills! My cold water inlet valve was the leaky culprit and I replaced it with a genuine LG valve from Reliable Parts for $55. Thank you so much!!
Easy, simple fix for my LG Washer. I did have to put a dry paper towel under the valve and run for a few minutes (with the top off) to confirm the leak location. Ordered an OEM "scratch and dent" pulled valve from eBay for $5. Many thanks
Fixed the cold water inlet. Appreciate this video, thanks a million!
You’re very welcome 👍
Thank you so much. this should fix my problem but if it doesn't, videos like this are valuable!
Please let us know how it goes👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance I believe this did fix my issue. There was water and corrosion on one of the cold water lines. I replaced both the hot and cold water and hopefully I will get another 10 years from this unit!
Wow, exactly my problem. It really helped that you showed that you can tap on the water in the top of the valve to determine that it was leaking. That is exactly what I had, and on the hot water valve. You actually only have the only video I have seen on TH-cam showing how to replace the hot water valve. Anyway I’m very grateful. Thank you so much for this helpful video. Now I just have to figure out what the part number is. 😛
Thanks so much, if you can put your model number in a search with the word hot water valve, you’ll see a lot of places that sell it.
Hi
This was an amazing video. Thank you so much for posting. My LG was leaking. My poor husband was working in it for almost 2 hours when I discovered your video. After watching this, we had it fixed in 15 minutes. You saved us lots more time, money and frustration.
Awesome, thank you
Where was your leak showing up?? I’m having a problem with my LG washer :(. Thank you in advance…
@@daakrolb water was on the floor around the base of the washer. Since we followed this video, we haven't had a problem
@@melissaclapper158 Well I just got done popping the lid on mine & found the leak! But instead of the hot water solenoid, it is the 3-in-one solenoid contraption including the cold water. My leak was showing on the bottom front edge, despite starting on the back. Great video, & thank you for your time! Now to look up the part…
Huge thanks to the video maker on this one! I popped my lid, and saw the cold side solenoid assembly leaking! Now I just gotta track down the part & we will be back in business! Thanks man!!! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you also.
Can you try putting your model number in a Google search for cold water inlet.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance I tracked it all down & the parts are on their way. You have made our lives a little better! Thank you very much again!
Perfect! Thank you! I used this and now my valve is replaced. Hurrah!
Excellent News

Thanks so much for this video! Helped a ton. I ordered the wrong part at first but my washer is working now! Wahoo! Thank you! For one of my thoughts for what I am thankful for this Thanksgiving - I am thankful to have a working washer! Again thank you!
Thanks so much Susan, Happy Thanksgiving to you❤️😊
Pretty cool how you did the repair with one hand.
Thanks so much😊👍
Very well done. I pulled the washer out from its cubby and took the back off, then puzzled over how the top came off, but I could see that it was designed to open somehow. Then my wife said, “aren’t you going to watch TH-cam on this?” …Hmmm. Well Yeah !!! Your video came up first. We’ve had the washer off for a few weeks but I see water stains on the cold water valve. Need to reconnect the pressure lines and open the valves (it’s double pull valve so it does both H&C). Thanks for the information!!
You are the man. Mine was the cold valve. Ready to chunk it but your vid saved me hundreds on a new machine!
Great vid. Thank you. I had water on one of the blue ones two spots over from the red. Actually has electrical wires and not a hose connected to it. Any thoughts?
Yep,
I’d say that fill module needs to be replaced 👍
Thank you very much. This helped.
You're welcome!
Thanks for this. Wish I'd watched it yesterday. My soap dispenser has a slow drip out front, so I took the opportunity to pull out the washer, take the lid off, check the hose for obstructions (none), and put on stainless burst protection hoses. Never found the cause of my slow drip from the front soap dispenser, but I'd have liked to have checked the inlets like you said. But I watched this one day too late.
Awesome repair tips. I’ll check if it’s the actual inlet that is dripping before I order. I jumped to buying a bellows drain hose with another video I watched thinking this has gotta be the fix. I need patience and a look see first. lol. Keep up the good work 🤛🏽✌️
Thanks so much,
Please let us know how it goes.
That video was PERFECT! I was exactly my situation with having to replace the valves. I had to replace all of my valves as the there all rusted and leaking. Your video was super helpful and easy to follow. I was able to do it myself without having to call a repairman or my not-handy husband!!!!😂
Thank you for the informative video. My LG washer leaks intermittently since it was brand new. It will be fine for a while and then they'll be a puddle in the front. Would that inlet valve be the problem?
I wonder if the glass door is just dirty and not making a water tight seal with the rubber gasket?
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance That's the first thing I checked, it's clean. And since this happened when it was new that's not the cause. I'll have to check the inlet valve. Where my machine is located the valve is difficult to get at. Thanks for your help!
Thank you ! I think I’ll order the part asap as I have drained the from door a few times already and it’s still leaking. I know my water is not good quality here in south Texas. And I have to hot water as my water heater broke some time ago so only cold…
Great video. Quick question. When reconnecting the power (modular connector) mine got turned around. Is there a top/bottom (one side is smooth, the other side has a ridge) or a positive/negative, left right side or does it not matter? Just plug it back in? Thanks.
Hi Ben,
Can you send a picture of that to me at: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
Thank you! I replaced the valve and leak stopped. However next day drum started to filling up on its own when machine was off. Could be faulty valve ? Or is it cold water valve now ? Thanks
I bet you also need a new cold water valve.
Great video. My LG washer has a slow leak, showing up on the front bottom edge. Would this bad solenoid leak constantly or only when operating?
Might just need to clean the bottom of the glass door that meets the rubber door seal👍
Might just need to clean the bottom of the glass door that meets the rubber door seal👍
Thanks! For me it was the cold one, and it was only leaking from the bottom of the part.
Great video!!! More people need to see this
Thanks so much Victor😊
Yep! It was what you said it might be. But it's the cold water one. My LG front load model is WM3575CW. Where do I order the part please? Amazon?
Thank you so much for the info!
Nice job,
Penny😊
Did you order the part from Amazon or did you find appliance parts place near you? It's my turn to repair now.
@@bogusienombre355 No I didn’t. I asked around on different parts websites. It seems they don’t make it anymore.
I noticed that the part only leaks when my washer is left unused, so when I’m not using it, I turn the hot and cold taps off to reduce any water pressure. So far so good.
Sounds crazy, but I am moving in 9 months and want to get a new washer then.
I also didn’t replace the screws so I can periodically check it...bone dry since doing this.
@@zoeszozo thanks. Sorry you'll have to repurchase but at least you can order new parts at purchase, throw them in your laundry room for when the time comes your prepared ! Enjoy your new home!
I have same Washer and it’s leaking from one of the other connectors. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks Sean, I hope you’ll also subscribe 😊👍
Thanks, in our case it was the hot water valve leaking around the sides of the solenoid.
Yep, very common with LG Washers.
Thanks for the video. Whats the part #
Thanks Mr master for this video…helps a lot!!
Thanks Jose😊😊😊
Mine wound up being the cold water valve but ordering both since the other will likely go at some point. Washer is 8 years old now and first issues we've had.
Nice job Sean😊
Where’s the link to purchasing it?
Thank you for such a great video! Where is the link to order the part? Again, thank you!
Thanks for the video! I have a frontload washer that leaks after the door locks and water starts to come in. Its a steady trickle at bottom of door. Thought it was boot issue but thats fine no rips at all. When I push in on the door it completely stops making me think the overall seal is compromised. Could the door be sprung outward at the bottom if so any ideas how this can be fixed? Or how it that could happen? Its a second hand machine. Thanks
Can you super clean the part of the glass door that touches the rubber boot and see if that helps😊
Our situation is, water is accumulating in the tub when it isn’t running. Pretty large amount.
How do we fix that.
Hi Irene,
Just need to replace the hot and cold fill valves.
They’re not closing all the way.
Thank you for this video!! Helped a ton!!!
Nice video! I have the same symptom (small amount of water at the bottom and back of the washer) after certain loads. Does not happen all the time. I popped the hood and no water is on any of the water valves. Safety air valve (circular valve on the upper back) is also free of water. I clean the pump filter regularly and that seems to decrease frequency of the leakage. I can't see or feel any water anywhere. Everyone seems fine from the inside! Where would you check next? Thanks for your help!
Thanks Eric,
Sometimes when there’s too much soap used it will cause the washing machine to have a leaking problem
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance Thank you! I'll keep an eye on that. I have also noticed that it tends to leak more often on certain modes ("Towel" mode) or if the wash is sandy.
Really clear explanation, good visual demonstration. Helped a lot.
Thanks so much Caryl😊
What do you do if washer and dryer are stacked?
You can slide your dryer onto your garbage or recycling bin and wheel it away so you can get the washer top panel off.
Thanks for the video. It really helped me out. Keep up the good work. Take Care
Thanks Albert😊
Hi great video, husband is deployed so I think I’ll tackle this myself. You made it seem possible 😊 Do you have a link for the valve ?
Sure thing, can you post the model number?
A small black rubber tube near the bottom and just inside the rear access panel came detached from whatever it was supposed to be attached to ( I am not certain what it was) on our LG frontload washing machine and flooded our laundry room, hall, kitchen, and basement. Yes, one small detached rubber tube caused all of that. I did not find any clamp, so I reattached the tube (to whatever it is) and taped it for extra security.
I would go to Amazon and order a small hose clamp to secure it. That tape will fall off pretty soon.
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance I ordered a clamp. (It arrived today.) The tube stayed on since the washing machine was new for 11 1/2 years without a clamp or tape. It will be even more secure with both the clamp and the tape.
Awesome video - exact fix - ordered valve! Thank you!
Excellent , thank you
Super helpful. Thanks!
You’re welcome 😊
I replaced the water inlet valve on my washer and I still have a leak. Lifting the machine to a 45 degree angle from underneath I can see and feel water in the far left corner under the pump (I think it’s the pump) near where the hose exits the machine.
Is this a pump problem? Can I fix it myself?
My LG washing machine had a very slow leak from the right back side. It seems that the hot water valve is leaking
I have a gas dyer on top which is ver heavy. I don’t know how to move it out of the way. Any suggestions?

Great video. Thank you. Is the hot side a single valve and the cold is a triple? I've got an older LG model WM2301HW...would these be the correct replacement parts 5221ER1003A and 5220FR2006H. Thank you!!
how do i find the actual part for the cold valve?
Can you send your question to: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
awesome job, ty!
You’re very welcome Aaron 😊
SO the problem I had with my big LG Front Loader (with the sliding lid and washing powder left and bleach and softener right on top) was that my daughter loves to use excessive softener, which at the end led to the drain from teh softerner becoming plugged by this gooey gel-like substance. Same symptom, lots of water under teh machine, and dripping from the front. Luckily I diagnose without assembly. Fixed it with 15% vinegar and baking soda to get the pipe unplugged, followed by a hot water flush into the little orifice using a 1/4" fridge hose and ice maker adapter..... Result: Better then new.
Wow,
Nicely done 😊
Where's the link that you mentioned?
@Atlas Gary no
@Jorge Kaysen no
Amazing video
Thanks so Much 😊
Amazingly helpful! This comment is for the algorithm. Thank you
Thanks Marc👍
I had both broken cold water inlet and twin pump both motors gone 3 loads after replacing the cold inlet valve, then a new pump that Leaked water everywhere 😩 and a front panel screw threaded so couldn’t take it off because of the last screw at the bottom I am telling you it was sooooo close to being thrown the f*^k out 🤬💦💦🤦🏻♂️😂
But last night the 2nd new pump come and I fitted it and it’s dry and working like a dream again it’s 14 years old but it’s got a 2nd chance at life again was only 44 all in for both parts and free replacement pump as the first one was leaking. Felt happy with myself today when it was washing , jetting the water inside, draining and most of all No leaks gone through so many towels this last two weeks lol 😂🤦🏻♂️
Nice job Colin😊😊😊
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance the drum is going slowly started making noise a day or two later so getting a new factory refurbished lg washer next month. But it’s still going just a metallic noises coming out the drum especially on spin.
It’s not really bad yet but it will get there but it’s got to last till the 1st of August lol. It’s 15 years old nearly 16yrs it’s done well.👍🏻🙂
But now it’s time for a new one as I can’t be bothered to fix the drum and by the time I pay for all the parts it won’t be worth it. Could just get a new model so I am.
Easy fix, mine was the bigger cold side. The leak will be pretty obvious with the water on top.
Excellent thank you
I found my problem
Thanks Francisco😊
Could you not test the valves without removing the top by turning off the water to hot first and see if it leaks and if not turn off cold and on hot?
Yep,
That’s a great idea.
Usually the LG hot water intake solenoid is the one that leaks but at least just a tiny bit during the cycle so it may take a good 30 minutes before you see evidence of the leak down below the washer.
Very helpful!
Thanks so much😊👍
Is this a ventless dryer?
After watching this I checked these and they were fine. I decided to remove the back panel to try and video to help find the leak. Looking from the back there is a black hose that runs along the right side under the grey drain hose.
It has a hole in the side and I could see the water spraying out. Unfortunately can’t find a schematic of this area to see what hose it is. Does anyone know which one it is? Thanks
Can you send a picture of that to: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
thanks - I will try this first.
Thank you
Um there’s no link to the part. How can I look it up or is there a part number? What is it called?
Hi, what is that part called?
Thanks!
You’re welcome 👍
Can you tell me why the tube from "Y" tube conector to steam port on my LG WM3470HVA front load washer swells and leaks at the connector? It seems like there is a build up of pressure in the tube and it causes a spray at the "Y" connector. There are a series of tubes that make up that singe line with a bunch of connectors with orange and blue colored check valve or screens in the series of tubes. I tried blowing through the tube and only a little air would go through. The tube leads to the front part of the washer drum. Can't find anything about it online. HELP
Thanks,
Does the steam feature still work?
Unable to tell. This model doesn't have a steam generator like the others. It seem like when its time for the steam to kick in is when the hose swells like a ballon and cause the spray leak at the connector. Is there a way to tell if the steam is actually working? My wife uses the machine all the time, I'm just called in to fix it when it when something goes wrong. LOL Replaced inlet valve which was leaking prior to this problem. Seems as if this happened after I replaced the inlet valve but not sure. I have fixed everything so far except this problem. It's the big tube coming from the "Y" connector.
Perfect fix my problem
Thanks Daniel 👍😊
Excellent video. Thank you
Glad you liked it!😊👍
Isn't calcium deposits more likely on the hot water side?
I am having this problem. I checked the door, the rubber gasket, and the inlet valve. All are dry. The leak seems to be coming from bottom right front. Any ideas or is this something for a pro?
Can you tilt it back against the wall at 45 degrees and look through the large hole in the bottom panel to look for wet spots ?
I really hope it is one of my inlets valves. We got home yesterday and my LG washer leaked so much that flooded my laundry and part of my living room 😖
That much water is something else👍
@@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance you are correct. It was a water line connection. We didn't see it in any video. We my husband found and fixed the problem. But, it was helpful to watch your video as well, now we know the inlets valves are ok 😊
Xlent video very ezpz 2 follow along umade it luk so simpo
Ima gona try it out stepbystep

How did it go?
LG WM4270HVA this is the model I have. I cannot find the part for the valve
What is this called? Link ?
It’s the hot water inlet valve 👍
I have one for you... A nickel made it past the drum and got lodged between the drum and plastic drum housing. The drum beat it through the wall of the plastic housing creating a 4 inch crack that drains rather profusely while doing any washing! Disassembly/reassembly costs would be about $10,000 LOL! plus parts and tax...
Getting one tomorrow with the same problem 👍🇨🇦
Hello, what is this machine named?
3:30 Hot side more Prone to LEAK... from the (Heating), the parts when in use "expands" them to then the parts of valve being (Cooled) idle state or not in use "Decreases" size of parts, over and over with Time parts fail "wear out" quicker vs parts operating at a consistent temp 100% of the time. WelderX
You are so right 👍
By the way my Washer leak was on the "COLD Valve" did what You recommend went to Amazon total Part cost $23.07 was on front porch in just over 16 hrs. 40 minutes later Ran a (FULL load cycle) NO LEAK "pool of water on floor" Go to go.! My Mother Thanks YOU... I just wanted to say Thank You and I Appreciated Your Video, I'm always busy and there's always something I need to Do, Build, Fix and or attend too out in my shop. WelderX @@QuickAndEasy5MinuteAppliance
What is that called? My LG inverter is leaking.. Exactly where yours is.
I have the washer machine and is leaking water to inside the drum. The technician replaced the draining pump but it did not work. After a few days, i opened the washer door and it was full of water. What could be the problem?
Is yours leaking at the soap dispenser...? mine is and my inlets are clean, so I am hoping for some guidance as well.... Thanx Susie
It could be the inlet valve not turning off , that’s where the outside hose and the hose inside the machine meet
@@KevinBrown-le7bc you are right. The inlet hot water valve wasn't closing properly. Thank you.
The hot one leaks more because it gets hottttt 😂 lol. That’s why it fails because of the heat. Heat destroys.
Thanks Brent,
That makes sense 👍
Come to my house, please.
Thanks Terri, where do you live?
I live in SE PA. I was able to fix it today by draining the filter down front. I already knew about that technique but I thought I had done it recently. A lot of water came out. So far, I have done four loads with no problems. I am, however using much less of the “he” detergent.
Nicely done😊
Thank you !!
Thank you very much for video!
You’re very welcome 😊
