Beaquicy 5220FR2075L 5221ER1003A Cold Water Inlet Valve for Washing Machine - Replacement for Kenmore LG Washer - Front Load Washer Triple Solenoid Cold Water Inlet Valve Assembly

My original part was leaking after 10 years of owning the washer. This was a great replacement. Installation was simple and is working great. Kenmore wanted $80.0 for the same part. Shipping was fast and i was washing clothes 2 days after finding the leak.

Had water puddling on floor in front of washer. Pulled off the top panel of the washer to access and discovered water leaking up from one of the solenoid housings. Ordered this part and it arrived as advertised in perfect condition. While the appearance was a bit different due to materials used, all seems ot be of equal quality as the replaced OEM part. The part fit exactly as needed with no need to modify anything. Be sure to ID the hose locations before removal. Will take any guess work off the table when installing. Part has been in service now for a few months and working fine. Would highly recommend

Short Version:Incorrect Hose Threads (but you can force the hose on, cutting new threads)Missing restrictor valve in Port #1. Too much pressure makes the hoses blow off the ports and spray water everywhere.Long Version:My washing machine started leaking after about 7 years of use. I opened it up and found this water inlet valve leaking through one of the solenoids. I went on Amazon and found this Beaquicy valve with decent reviews. It was available in one day for $15 so I gave it a try. First issue was that the supply hose threads were finer than the original part. It did thread on and seal, but really only because the metal hose fitting just cut new threads into the plastic valve. I ran a test load and with the lid open and watched it work. Work it did.... but as soon as Port #1 started flowing water, I noticed the hose would inflate and immediately start spraying water across my laundry room! I tried replacing the hose clamp with a worm type and it still sprayed water past the clamp. Next I tried closing the water supply valve down halfway and all was OK. Next I ordered the LG valve for just under $40 and 2 day delivery. This one had the correct hose threads, restrictor valve in Port #1 and works perfectly with no leaks and supply water opened fully. Should have just bought the factory LG part to begin with.

5+ year old LG washer kept having issues with FE error and leaking. Replaced with this valve and resolved issue. Only time will tell if it fails. So far so good over 3 months later.

I have an LG washer dryer combo, sold as a pair under the model "LG wd85k64100w/nz" but individually, the washer is an LG "WM3570HWA". I bought this washer in 2015, so it's barely 6 years old. I don't think I would ever recommend buying an LG washing machine, given the fact that mine already started leaking from the inlet valve solenoid.Thankfully, this product was easy to replace. I just removed the top of my washer, and could immediately see where the leak was. I bought this piece, and swamped it out. The most difficult part was getting the hoses reattached so that they would not leak. You have to attach three hoses total. Two of my hoses attached without problem, but the third one has a slight leak, and no matter how I tried it didn't quite seal perfectly on this new solenoid valve (due to the deformed end from the previous attachment). I ended up trimming off 1/4 inch of the hose, which solved the issue, and let it form a new seal. This allowed me to reuse the existing hoses and clamps. I'm hoping this lasts longer than the 6 years the original solenoid lasted. So far it's been about 3 months with no issues.

Fit perfectly no problems exactly what I ordered.

this is a direct bolt in factory replacement cold water valve. the part numbers that it'll replace are listed in the item description.

The inlet valve was easy to install and worked great I was a bit hesitant because it was much less expensive than the alternatives but it has worked great
