5220FR2009F Genuine Water Inlet Valve Assembly for LG Washing Machines, LG Washer Fill Valve for Not Filling or IE Error

Genuine LG inlet valve assembly, part 5220FR2009F, for LG washing machines. It's the electrically operated valve at the back of the washer where the inlet hoses connect, and it opens to let water in, often routing it through the detergent dispenser on the way. LG makes several versions of the 5220FR valve and the final letters matter, so read the number off your old valve before ordering 5220FR2009F.

LG washing machine not filling with water

Each outlet on an inlet valve has its own coil, and the control board energises them in turn to send water to different parts of the dispenser. A failed coil means the washer won't fill, fills slowly or never draws in the softener or detergent, and LG machines usually show an IE error when water doesn't arrive in time. A valve that won't close properly lets water trickle into the drum while the washer is off, or causes overfilling. Clean the filter screens in the valve inlet first, then test each coil with a multimeter.

Swapping the inlet valve

Turn off both taps and unplug the washer, then disconnect the inlet hoses with a bucket ready for trapped water. Remove the top panel, photograph the wiring and the hose on each outlet, and move them across one at a time. Tighten the hose fittings firmly by hand, turn the taps on slowly and check for leaks before running a wash.

Questions about this part

Is 5220FR2009F the same as 5220FR2009S?

Not necessarily. LG uses the suffix letters to tell valve versions apart, and they can differ in outlets, connectors or mounting. Order the exact number on your old valve or in your washer's parts list.
