5221EN1005N Genuine Inlet Valve Assembly for LG Washing Machines, LG Washer Water Inlet Valve, Valve Assembly Inlet

5221EN1005N is a genuine LG inlet valve assembly used in LG washing machines. It sits where the tap hose connects to the washer and controls when water enters. LG's description doesn't say how many outlets this valve has, so before ordering, compare the number on your old valve and count its outlets and coils to be sure they match.

LG washer won't fill or keeps filling?

An electrically operated inlet valve opens when the control powers its coil and closes when the power stops. Faults usually show up in one of three ways, with no water entering and a fill error, slow filling that stretches cycle times, or water dribbling in when the machine should be idle. The last one can flood a laundry, so act quickly. Before replacing the valve, confirm the taps are fully open, the hoses aren't kinked and the small filter screen inside the valve inlet isn't clogged with grit.

Changing the LG inlet valve

Unplug the machine and close the hot and cold taps. Unscrew the inlet hoses and catch the water that runs out. Remove the top or rear panel as needed, take a photo of the wiring and outlet hoses, then move them across to the new valve. Tighten the hose connections by hand, restore water and power, and watch the valve for leaks on the first fill.
