About This Part
What it does. Why it matters. Everything you need to know for an easy fix.
Water Inlet Valve - Hot Specifications
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
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
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.
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?
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!

Dasha - For model number WM3431HW
February 22, 2018
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)?
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.
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?
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?
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?
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.
