AJU72912231 Genuine Dual Inlet Valve Assembly for LG Top Load Washing Machines WTG6520 WTG7520

This genuine LG dual inlet valve assembly, part AJU72912231, controls water entering the WTG6520 and WTG7520 top loaders. Being a dual valve, it handles both tap connections in one body, so if either side has failed the whole assembly is replaced. When you remove the old valve, look for the part number on its label to confirm you've got the match.

Fill faults on an LG WTG top loader

Each side of the valve has its own coil, which opens when the control board calls for hot or cold water. When a coil burns out, that side stops delivering, so you may find the washer only fills with cold water, fills painfully slowly, or stops at the fill stage with an inlet error. If water keeps trickling into the tub with the machine switched off, a side is stuck open and the valve should be replaced before it floods the laundry. Checking the tap screens for grit is a quick first step.

Fitting the dual valve

Turn both taps off, unplug the machine and unscrew the fill hoses from the back. Lift the top panel or control console to expose the valve, photograph the wiring and internal hose, and remove the screws holding the valve to the cabinet. Fit the new valve, reconnect the wiring exactly as it was, reattach the hoses with their washers, then open the taps and check for leaks.

Questions about this part

Do I need a new valve if only the hot side has stopped working?

Yes. Both sides share one body and come as a single assembly, so a fault on either side means replacing the whole valve. Check the hot tap is on and its hose screen is clear before deciding the valve is at fault.
