LG Washer Water Inlet Valve 5220FR2008E

The LG 5220FR2008E Water Inlet Valve is designed to control water flow into the washer drum during fill cycles.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar valves may differ in solenoid count, hose port positions, electrical connectors, or flow rate ratings.

Common Symptoms

• Washer not filling with water — valve solenoid failed or stuck closed
• Slow or incomplete fill — partially blocked or weakened solenoid
• Washer overfilling — valve stuck open, not shutting off water
• Water leaking from the back of the machine near the inlet hoses
• IE error code — inlet error, water not detected within time limit

Check Before Replacing

• Verify water supply hoses are fully open and not kinked
• Check inlet screens on the valve for sediment or debris — clean before condemning the valve
• Confirm household water pressure is within the required range (typically 14–90 psi)
• Test the solenoid coils with a multimeter for continuity — an open circuit confirms valve failure

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect power and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves.
2. Photograph wiring harness connections and hose routing before removal.
3. Compare the new valve with the original — confirm port count and connector match.
4. Inspect inlet hose washers and replace if cracked or worn.
5. Restore water and power, run a fill cycle, and check for leaks at all connections.

Use a qualified technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience.
