This hot water inlet valve is designed to regulate water flow into the washing machine during operation. Featuring a standard hose fitting inlet and a single water outlet, it opens as needed to allow hot water into the appliance. If the valve is defective, you may notice slow filling, no filling at all, or water leaks. A simple way to test the valve is to unplug the washer when the issue occurs—if water continues to flow, the valve is likely faulty and should be replaced. The part measures approximately 3 inches in length by 3 inches in width and is sold individually.

Easy repair
Correct part was sent easily replaced saved replacing the machine as I could not get a service company to come and look at the machine because of the age and being out of warranty.

Super easy repair, OEM part
I can’t believe how easy it was to replace this valve. The video was helpful to explain how the washer top comes off. The rest was very simple. The part was OEM and works great. It’s been a few weeks now and no complaints.

The part was perfect for my needs. It solved the leak that I was experiencing. I ordered the part one day and it arrived the next morning. I was expecting it to take a week. It blew me away. Was able to get the washer working again right away so overall it was a great experience.

Easy repair as staff is very helpful!
I replaced the cold water inlet valve a few years ago and most recently, the hot water valve. My washer is a 2005 LG HE and they have always matched the correct part to my model. Repair was easy and all is working smoothly!

Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
Water continued to fill into the drum slowly after the load was done.
Watched a you tube video and followed the instructions. Even had my 11 and 13 yo old help and do most of the work. Very easy to fix both hot and cold inlet at the same time. Didn't know which one was causing the problem so I decided to replace both.
Unplug the washer! Turn off the HOT water valve. Remove the hot water hose at the connection on the back of the washer. Remove the two Phillips head screws holding the top of the washer. Slide the lid toward the rear until you feel it disengage, then lift it off, setting it aside. Unplug the electrical connector on top of the hot water valve (just pulls off).using pliers compress the hose clamp, slide it away from the hot water valve and pull the hose off the valve fitting(it will have some water remaining so lift it up and secure it to the brace above the hoses). Remove the two phillips head screws that hold the valve in place. Pull the valve toward the front of the washer to remove it and compare it to the new valve. To install the new valve, reverse all steps insuring tight water hose clamp and electrical connection. Install hot water hose, plug it in and turn on water. Test run and check for leaks. Unplug it and reinstall top.

Water was filling the tub when washer was not in use.
I followed the video and my repair went just like the expert showed on the video. The hardest part was pulling the washer away from the wall and getting enough elbow room to be able to work on the washer. I will definitely come back to this site for my next appliance repair.
Water was building up inside drum while machine was off.
I unplugged the washer shut off the water and disconnected the hoses. Then removed the top lid and removed old valves and installed new ones. Very easy plug and play installation.
Very simple. Watched video. Pulled the washer out to get behind it. Turned off water supply, unplugged it. Unscrewed the screwesholding the top in place, slid top back, lifted it off. Used pliers to open the clamps holding the pipes to the valve - one at a time. And fitted the pipes to new valve, one at a time. SOME WATER REMAINS IN THESE PIPES, SO PUT A TOWEL UNDERNEATH TO CATCH IT. Removed the electrical connectors one at a time and fitted them to the new valve one at a time. Did same to the hot valve - not leaking but decided to replace it before it did leak. Reattached water supply hoses and electric plug. Tested the washer cycle to make sure no leaks. Put top back on and pushed washer back to wall. Apart from the testing, the whole job took 25 minutes. The parts arrived on Day 2 after the order. VERY PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING!
Water was leaking into washing machine after the washer was shut off
Removed the cover from the washing machine, the two valves(cold & hot) are located in the read top of the machine, removed the hoses to the valves, removed the nut that holds on the valve to the washer and placed new valve into washer and placed the nut back onto new valve, placed the hoses back onto the new valve.
Water was collecting in the machine after it finished its cycle.
Turned off hot and cold water supply. Pulled out machine and disconnected hoses, unplugged power.
Unscrewed 4 screws at back top of machine (holding plastic bracket to cover). Pulled out trays from front where detergent is poured, and removed small screws under trays.
Slid cover back and up. This was the only tricky part. There are pegs that must line up with large holes in cover before you can easily lift cover up. Helps to look from underneath and find pegs on each side.
Using pliers, fully open clamps holding hoses to the inlet valves, and carefully pull off hoses while keeping clamps open with pliers… making sure to keep track of which hose goes to each motor. Take a picture of electrical connectors noting color and sequence of connectors on each inlet valve motor. Pull all connectors off.
Unscrew screws holding each inlet valve to machine. Put new inlet valves in place of old, and screw in place. Reconnect hoses (using pliers to hold open clamps, then slide clamps over tubing and inlet valve connector). Reconnect electrical connectors carefulljng lining up colors of wires and sequence using picture taken in previous step.
Replace cover. Screw all screws back to secure cover. Replace trays.
w/d repeatedly fills with water during warm or hot loads
E. Z. hardest part (which isn't hard) was moving the appliance to reach the back, then putting the appliance back into place. the actual repair (swapping out valve) took less time than that to do.

My front load LG washer ,at the end of a cycle the water will start to run and won't stop until i turn the cold water valve to off pos.
For model number Wm0642hw
Hi Jim, Thank you for the email. This sounds like an issue with the Water In let valve. If the valve is stuck open and defective it will allow water to flow through after the cycle ends. Hope this helps!

Water start to fill up the soap despener with those short blast of water that fill the cup about 3 times and then it stops and water stops going in the cup.So the soap is still left in the dispenser. The tub still fill with water. I can hear it going in
For model number WM2455HW
Hi Gerry,
Thank you for your inquiry. There are some parts that you will need to check to see which one is causing the issue. You will need to check the pressure switch, the water inlet valve, the detergent box assembly and softener cap. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

What about the cold side. Our washer keeps filling when unplugged and will stop when you turn the cold side off. You don't have to touch the hot shut off. Yes I did check to make sure washer hoses were hooked up correctly.
For model number WM2487HRM
Hi Gary, Thank you for the question. It sounds like the water inlet valve is stuck open on the cold side and is letting water through. To fix this the Inlet Valve Assembly,PartSelect Number PS3527431 will need to be replaced.Hope this helps!
Is the install for hot and cold inlet valve the same install?
For model number WM2016CW
Hello Richard, Thank you for your inquiry. There are installation videos available for both parts on our website. It appears the installation process is similar for both, but since the cold water valve has different solenoids, we would recommend watching the videos for both. I have included the links. Hope this helps!

Hello, the water sometimes flows into the washing machine and sometimes doesn't. This happens with both hot water and cold water. When the water doesn't flow it gives the error message ie, which according to the manual means not enough water pressure. We have excellent water pressure. Why would it be working sometimes and not other? Is this most likely an electrical current issue or defective pump (or something else)?
For model number WM3431HW
Hi Dasha,
Thank you for your question. If you are having an issue with water flowing into the washer, the issue is likely with the water inlet valve and it will need to be replaced. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

No hot water filling machine. Confirmed water is hot from wall supply. Replaced hot water inlet valve. Still no hot water filling machine. What else could it be and what should i try next? Thanks.
For model number WM3670HVA
Hi Christine, thank you for your question. If you have replaced the valve and you are still having the issue, then it is likely your electronic control board that is the problem. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Based on the troubleshooting info, i think that my inlet valve on my cold water line is defective. Is it a seperate part for the cold and hot water valve, or will the same valve work on both?
For model number WM0642HW!
Hello Lisa, Thank you for the question. The PartSelect Number PS3527429 is for the Cold water and the PartSelect Number PS3527427 is the Hot water. Hope this helps!
My cold water continues to fill even when the machine is off. The hot water does not. Will the valve replacement for hot water fit on the cold water side too?
For model number WM2501HWA
Hello Michael, Thank you for the question. This sounds like the cold water side of the valve is defective so the valve will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

No matter the setting machine only dispenses cold water. What part would you think needs replacing?
For model number kenmore 600
Hi Rob, thank you for your question. It is likely you would need to replace your water valve if you are not getting hot water to your appliance. If you would like to test the part the valve can be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
