Water Inlet Valve - Hot – Part Number: 5220FR2006H
$35.80

Water Inlet Valve - Hot
★★★★★
★★★★★
(94)
Part #5220FR2006H
The hot water inlet valve on your washing machine controls the water flow into the washer. This inlet valve has a standard hose fitting inlet and one water outlet. The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the washing machine. If the water inlet valve is defective, the washer may leak, fill slowly, or not fill at all. To test your valve, unplug the washer when the symptom occurs. If the washer continues to fill, then your inlet valve is defective. This part is approximately 3 inches long x 3 inches wide.

★★★★★
★★★★★
(78)
Part #AGM73610701
This magnetic door plunger, also known as the magnet holder, is built for your washer. When you order this part, you will receive the plastic housing and a spring that goes with it. The magnetic door plunger attaches to the inner door panel of the washer. It holds the door open when the washer is not running, and allows the door and tub seal to dry. This prevents mold and mildew from building up. Occasionally, the plastic tabs on the housing can break, and when this happens the part will need to be replaced. You may also notice that your washer lid or door will not close; this can also be a sign of a damaged magnetic door plunger.

This is a seal for a washer tub. It creates a seal between the front and rear halves of the washer tub to prevent the appliance from leaking. If you notice leakage between the two sections of the tub, you may need to replace this part. Seals can get dry and brittle over time which compromises the integrity of the part and may cause your appliance to leak. This is a genuine replacement part sourced from the original manufacturer. You will need to disassemble the outer panels of the washer to access the tub seal.

Tub Bearing
Part #4280FR4048L
The tub bearing supports the spin basket shaft at the back of the washing tub. If your washing machine will not spin, is leaking water, or if there is a loud screeching noise during the wash cycle, there could be an issue with the tub bearing. This genuine OEM replacement bearing has a 3-inch outer diameter, and is used to help the tub spin smoothly and to stop the washing machine from shaking during the cycle. NOTE: This part is very difficult to install. The manufacturer recommends replacing the complete rear tub and bearing assembly at the same time.

Drain Hose Assembly
★★★★★
★★★★★
(3)
Part #5215ER2002G
The drain hose assembly is a genuine OEM assembly supplied directly by LG for use in washing machines. The assembly includes the hose, connector, elbow fitting, and metal clamp. It is responsible for directing wastewater from the washing machine tub to the household drain or plumbing system. It allows the water to exit the washer efficiently and prevents it from pooling inside the machine at the end of the cycle. If the hose can no longer stay attached to the washer or drainpipe, water is leaking from the hose, or the hose has visible damage such as cracks and splits then you will need to replace it before you can resume using your washer.

Washer Hinge Spring – Part Number: 4970FR2084Z

Washer Hinge Spring
★★★★★
★★★★★
(11)
Part #4970FR2084Z
This is a suspension spring for models of LG washing machines. This spring, along with the shock absorbers, is the entire suspension of the washing machine. If your washing machine is having spinning issues, or if you are noticing an excessive amount of banging, this spring may be damaged or worn out and in need of a replacement. Replacing this spring will require you to gain access to the interior of the washer cabinet. This spring attaches to the frame of the washer cabinet and to the tub of the washer itself. Since there are normally two springs in each washer, they will likely wear down at the same rate and if you are replacing one, it is normal to replace both. However, this spring is sold as an individual OEM part, so consider that before ordering.

★★★★★

(2)
Part #ACA56078801

LE Error Message and won't spin drum properly

I first tested the motor per the service manual. I checked the resistance between the terminals of the 3 pin connector. It's supposed to be 5-15 ohms. The motor checked out so I replaced the main electrical board. It turns out that wasn't the problem. After a brief web search I found out that the hall sensor (which is attached to the motor stator) was the likely cause of the failure. I replaced that and everything works great now. And now I have a spare main board in case that ever fails. I also want to mention that I took the time to remove the dispenser box (where the water comes in and is directed to the different cleaning products) and cleaned it with a very strong bleach solution. It got rid of the mildew and funky smell. It seems that the fabric softener caused a lot of mildew to form inside the dispenser directly above the fabric softener tray. The bleach took care of that. This is probably something that should be done routinely to keep the mildew from forming.

Door would not close

  • Omnitech from Warrenville, IL
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
There is a magnet at the bottom of the door which allows the door to be held ajar when the washer is not in use to allow the tub and gaskets to dry. A tab on the plastic housing which retains the magnet broke which allowed the housing to pull free of the door and stick itself to the machine preventing the door to close. Easy fix to replac e the magnet was $18. Instructions were included in the box. Part number on the drawing was A165. PS3618292 Magnetic Door Plunger
