VERY FAST shipping, SMOOTH transaction!
The part was an exact replacement for what was needed. Website navigation was no problem and part selection was very easy. Standard shipping was incredibly fast to Southeastern U.S., and the part was packaged well. I was unsure about ordering from PartSelect until I read through what seemed like hundreds of positive reviews. With VERY FAST shipping and an overall SMOOTH TRANSACTION I highly recommend PartSelect.

Perfect fit and easy to install
This was one of the easiest repairs I have ever done. The part was a perfect replacement for the original and start to finish the repair took 10 min. About half of that time was moving the washer so I could access the back.

Water inlet was leaking
I noticed that my washer was leaking water into the tub. It was dripping, very slowly, but it was dripping. I noticed first, because it was starting to smell, and I didn’t understand why. Once I noticed that it was dripping, I checked online and noticed that the solenoid water inlet is most likely the problem. I found the part on parts, s
... Read moreelect, and confirmed with my model. The pictures were very close and similar, so I was pretty sure I was getting the cracked part. Once I received the part, it was time to fix it. You just have to turn the water supply off, remove the inlet lines with a adjustable wrench, if necessary, and then get to the washer. Make sure you also unplug the washer. There are only two Phillips head screws to remove to get the vanity cover off of the back. For whatever reason my removal was a little bit difficult for this. There are some plastic clips that hold the front portion on of the vanity plate. These were very tight, and I was afraid I would break them, but eventually they came loose with gentle upward pulling. Once this was off, it was super easy to identify the part that needed replacement. There are two hose clamps that you just need a pair of pliers to squeeze in slide off the hose. Then you remove three additional Phillips head screws, and the other connections pop out on their own. The solenoid plugs are very simple to slide off, and it is really difficult to put them on any other way. If you need to, you can take a few photos of the installation. Once you have the old one out, hook up the hoses first, and slide the hose clamps back to their original position. Once you have the two black hoses back on, reposition the new valve body, and slide the additional three prongs into the inlet soap dispenser. Make sure that the fit is snug. Don’t over push, the parts are plastic. Once this is done, reinsert, the three Phillips screws into their holes. Then you can reconnect the solenoids. At this point the replacement is done, and all you have to do is replace the vanity cover. Take time to ensure that you’ve done this correctly. I left the vanity cover off and ran a test load of dirty clothes to make sure that there were no leaks. Once I assure, there were no leaks, I put the vanity cover back on and put the two screws on. This was a very easy fix. Again, just go slow removing the vanity plate so you do not crack or break the tines in the front.

Water leaking into drum
Figured out how to remove the top door and the top panel that covered the solenoid bank. That was the hardest part. Swapping out the solenoid bank and the connector was easy. No more water leaking.
The old water assembly valve split on the bottom and started leaking.
After unplugging the washer I cut the water off. I took the water hoses off, then the back top panel using a phillips head screw driver. I then used a pair of pliers to take off the two hoses and clamps. I unplugged the electric connection on each solenoid, took out 5 screws replaced the part and did everything in reverse order.

Dear sirs, when the tub begins the fill cycle there is a leak at the connection between the fill hose(cold) and inlet valve. The hose and washer are in good condition. Could the inlet valve be causing the leak? Thank you in lodi, ca

I need help trying to figure out what part I need for my washer. It continues to fill up with water and not stop. It flooded my wash room. I have to turn off the water to the washer to make it stop but only the cold water. Can you please help me? Thank you.
For model number WT1101CW
Hi Dessie, Thank you for the question. I suggest changing the valve assembly. Sounds like the cold port is stuck open and the valve will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

My washing machine overflowed. The water is going into the tub even when the washer is off. I checked the solenoids on the water inlet valve, and all showed continuity. Could the inlet valve still be bad even if all solenoids showed continuity?
For model number WT1101cw
Hello Dan, thank you for your question. If the water is coming into the tub when the washer is off the valve would be the issue. It is possible that the valve testing is off. We would recommend starting the unit and unplugging it from the wall while it fills. If the water continues to come in, the valve needs to be replaced. I hope this helps.

Water will not shut off in the rinse cycle, even if I hit pause it still fills. Even with washer off water still fills. FYI I just replaced the water inlet valve assembly and it still does this. If you can help thanks
For model number WT1001CW
Hello Rick, Thank you for the question. If the new valve did not fix the issue, this could be a Pressure Switch Assembly Sensor issue. I looked up the part and it is listed as No Longer Available/Discontinued sorry. There are no part substitutions listed. My suggestion here would be to call the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with a substitution for these part numbers. Hope this helps!

How do you repair water inlet value
For model number WT1101CW
Hello Joe, thank you for your question. unfortunately, we do not currently have installation instructions for this particular part. However, I was able to find another video on our site that shows how to replace a similar valve. The appliance and valve may look different in the video to what you have but the installation should be very similar. I hope this helps!

Water is leaking from rear of washer while in use. I removed the back cover. It appears that there were 2 small clear water/tube lines that come out from the back of the tub - lower/middle area. One of the tubes is still attached (this tube travels up to the upper portion of the back of the unit), however the other tube is missing - appears to have broken off. Water is flowing out of this hole when the water turns on. I can not locate the other tube if there was one and cannot find where this tube may go. Any help would be appreciated.
For model number WT1201CW
Hi Mike, Thank you for the question. There is one tube that would lead up to the water lever/pressure switch and another tube that leads to the dispenser at the corner of the tub. Hope this helps!

The water fills much too high for this washer from your expertise would you say that the inlet valve or the sensor assembly is the main culprit any help appreciated, thx ----dan
For model number LG model WT5001CW
Hi Dan,
Thank you for your inquiry. The water inlet valve is one of the more common parts to fix the issue, but you may also have to check water level switch and the pressure switch to see which part is causing the issue. You will need to use a multimeter to verify which part is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
