5220FR2006X Genuine Single Inlet Valve for LG Washing Machines, 1 Way Water Inlet Solenoid Valve, LG Washer Fill Valve

Part 5220FR2006X is a genuine LG one-way inlet valve, made for LG washing machines. A single valve has one outlet controlled by one solenoid coil, opening to let tap water into the machine when the control calls for it. It's not on file against any models, so make sure the number on your old valve matches 5220FR2006X, including the final letter, before you order.

LG washer not filling, or filling when it's off?

The inlet valve is the gate between your tap and the washer. When the control sends power to the coil, the valve opens and water flows in, and when the power stops it springs shut. A failed coil or blocked filter screen means slow filling, no water at all or a fill error. A valve that won't close properly is more serious, as it can let water trickle in even when the machine is off, sometimes enough to overflow. Low water pressure or a kinked hose can mimic a valve fault, so rule those out first.

Fitting the inlet valve

Turn off the tap and unplug the machine before you start, then disconnect the inlet hose and let any trapped water run into a bucket. Photograph the wiring and the hose on the valve outlet. Swap the valve, check the small filter screen at the inlet is clean, and reconnect everything firmly. Turn the tap on slowly and check for drips before running a cycle.

Questions about this part

Can I use a valve with a different letter at the end?

Not without checking. LG valves with the same main number can differ in voltage, outlet angle or fittings depending on the final letter. Match 5220FR2006X exactly, or send us your model number through the parts enquiry form.
