5220FR2008F - Genuine OEM LG Washer Water Inlet Valve

5220FR2008F – Genuine OEM LG Washer Water Inlet Valve

The 5220FR2008F Genuine OEM LG Washer Water Inlet Valve is a critical water control component designed for LG washing machines (washer category – front load and select top load models). As a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, it is engineered by LG to meet exact factory specifications for safety, durability, and precise water flow control.

Available through Appliance Kingdom, a trusted Canadian appliance parts supplier based in Edmonton, AB, this part ships quickly across Canada and is widely used by homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair professionals to restore proper washer filling performance.

Function & Importance of the Washer Water Inlet Valve

The water inlet valve regulates the entry of hot and cold water into the washing machine tub during each wash cycle. It opens electronically based on signals from the washer’s control board and ensures the correct water level is reached for each program.

When working properly, it ensures:

• Accurate water fill levels for every cycle

• Proper mixing of hot and cold water (temperature control)

• Safe operation without overflow or dry cycling

• Efficient cleaning performance

OEM-grade precision is essential because incorrect water flow can disrupt cycle timing, damage internal components, or lead to inefficient washing results.

Common Symptoms of a Faulty Water Inlet Valve

If the 5220FR2008F valve begins to fail, LG washers commonly show the following issues:

• Washer not filling or filling very slowly

• Washer overfilling or water entering when OFF

• Continuous water flow during spin or idle state

• Incorrect water temperature (only hot or cold filling)

• Cycle interruptions or IE/1E water inlet errors

• Water leaking into drum when washer is not running

These symptoms indicate a breakdown in water regulation, and in many cases, replacing the inlet valve restores normal operation.

Compatibility Guidance

• Designed for LG washing machines only

• Works with select LG washer models requiring part 5220FR2008F
