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.

The drain pump and motor assembly may also be known as the washer drain pump and is a part for your washer. The drain pump helps expel water from the washing machine. The drain pump is activated after the spin cycle speed is maintained for a specific period of time. To make this installation you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a small flat-blade screwdriver, a pair of needle-nose pliers, and a pair of slip-joint pliers. Note that the pump casing is not included. This medium-difficulty repair may vary, but can generally be started by disconnecting power, then removing the top of the washer by taking out the four back screws and two small brackets. Then, remove the front panel by taking out the two screws and eight tabs that should be taken from the top. Moving down the front of the washer, remove the door, latch, tub gasket, and drain cover. Disconnect the drain hoses and clip from under the drain assembly, and install new assembly from there. Reassemble parts in direct reverse order -- taking photos during disassembly and keeping parts clearly organized can help here. Despite the number of steps, you will only need a standard Phillips screwdriver to complete this repair.

This replacement pump filter, also known as a filter assembly, is a genuine OEM part for your washer or washer/dryer combo. Before beginning this repair, turn off the power and water supply to your washer. The filter assembly may need to be replaced because it is broken or is leaking water. To locate the filter assembly, pry open the small door on the front of the washer, using a flat-blade screwdriver. Unplug the drain hose next to the filter and drain the water into a bucket. Then unscrew the pump filter, and replace with your new one.

The pump filter leaked after cleaning it out. Would work with teflon tape, but wanted to see if a new part would eliminate the need to wrap it every time.
The part worked great, but I wanted to mention how quickly I received the part!
I would definitely order from this company again!

This is a door boot seal that is designed for use with LG washing machines. This boot forms a seal between the washer drum and door to prevent leaks and ensures the washer operates efficiently. However, over time this seal can tear or rip, or become moldy due to consistent exposure to moisture and/or lack of cleaning. If you notice your washer is leaking, has significant odors, or has mold on its gasket, you will need to replace it immediately. Replacing this seal will likely need you to disassemble your washer, which will require tools such as a screwdriver, pliers, and a wrench. This seal comes as an individual OEM part and does come with any clamps or other parts.

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 washer door boot spring clamp, also known as a retaining, is compatible with various models of LG washing machines. It is an authentic OEM replacement part that is designed to fit just like the original. The spring clamp is a round, stainless steel ring that holds the washing machine door boot in place and prevents it from falling off the washer. If the spring clamp is damaged, corroded, or can no longer maintain tension, the door boot will become loose and may fall off leading to leakages and difficulty opening and closing the washer door. You will need a spring clamp removal tool to safely complete this repair.
