LG Valve 5221ER1003A and 5220FR2075L

This cold water inlet valve fit my Kenmore Elite Model 41482 washer perfectly. Except for the color of the housing, it looks identical to the OEM LG part (P/N 5221ER1003A) and looks and feels as good as OEM. It's also working as well as the OEM part and got our washer back into service. My original valve lasted an amazing 10 years before it started leaking. I'm not expecting this one to last that long, but if I could get half that, I'd be very pleased. Great part, great price, highly recommended.

While visually different from the original valve assembly in an LG WM3250H, this functions identically and is a drop-in replacement without any fitment or operating issues whatsoever. I cannot detect any difference in opening/closing noise between the original and this one. The valve has only been in service for about a month so I cannot comment on durability (the original valve in the machine lasted over 11 years before failure due to leakage.) I can readily recommend it.

Replaced it on a kenmore washer that was not emptying softener tray.Fits and works perfectly

Works great.

Worked as expected on LG WM9000HVA washing machine.

This is not an LG factory OEM part but it is a perfect fit and function for the OEM part. It feels a bit flimsier than the original, but it is working as required for the past 5 months. Did not give it 5 stars as I do not know how long it will last vs. the OEM part.Give yourself about an hour from start to finish. Hardest part of the job is removing and re-attaching the spring clamp that attaches the rubber seal to the washer front panel. Amazon sells a tool for about $10. It is worth buying as it makes it so much easier and saves time and frustration.Search Amazon for:"Washing Machine Inner/Outer Spring Expansion Removal Tool, ,Suitable for LG and Samsung"

Works great. Looks like the oem!

Thanks for the reviews from R. Johnson and Kevin Boettcher on the water hammer issue. It did eliminate the water hammer problem of my LG WM3250Hwa, which is almost 10 years old. I bought this replacement for my LG leaking cold inlet valve. Open the top cover; you can see that the cold water inlet device has 3 valves. The most lateral one that controls most cold water loads has lots of rust, and has a slow dripping. It seems its rust started quite a while ago. The other 2 cold inlet valves remain a new look. It makes sense to me that the water hammer effect has a close correlation with this leaking.The water hammer is more than just a sound problem. It creates abruptly high pressure along the pipe and its connected device. My internet research showed that LG washing machine is infamous for its hammer sound and leaking valves, and reluctance to fix this problem. My WM3250 has a load cold water inlet hammer sound, and its hot water valve does not. And its hot water valve now still looks new.I took precautions to this hammer issue many years after the purchase by closing halfway of the cold water faucet and installing 2 water hammer arrestors for the cold inlet. 1 arrestor only works a bit, and 2 work well. 1 installed on the machine and 1 on the faucet. The 2 hammer arrestors have worked for 2 years, and I noticed the bangs coming back recently at the first few inlet shutoffs.I called the LG service, and no useful information was provided, and I prepared to buy a new one after the call. While searching for new machine, I found a video on YouTube about a hot water inlet valve replacement for a LG washing machine and learned how to open the top cover by unscrewing only 2 screws and sliding it back.Installation is easy and quick. I elevated the machine's height by putting anti vibration pads in order to slide in a water pan and easy access to the bottom, or put a flooding sensor. Let's see how long this valve and the hot valve can go.
