This Part Fixes These Problems

Washer Won't Fill

Water does not enter the drum or fills extremely slowly due to a blocked inlet filter screen preventing adequate flow through the inlet valve.

Slow Fill / Long Cycle Times

Partial clog causes reduced water pressure through the valve, resulting in abnormally long fill cycles and extended wash times.

Sediment in Wash Water

A torn or degraded filter screen allows rust, dirt, and debris to pass through the inlet valve directly into the washer drum and onto clothes.

IE Error Code

LG washers display an IE (Inlet Error) fault code when water intake is insufficient — often caused by a clogged or collapsed inlet valve filter screen.

⚡

✅
Reusable & Easy to CleanABS mesh design allows periodic cleaning and reuse. Regular inspection and rinsing can extend service life and maintain optimal water flow performance.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Clogged Inlet Filter Screen the Problem?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer takes a very long time to fill up with water

⚠️ No water enters the drum even though the valve opens

⚠️ Visible sediment, rust flakes, or debris in the wash water

⚠️ Error codes related to water intake (e.g. IE fault code on LG washers)

🔍 Diagnostic Tip: Turn off the water supply, disconnect the inlet hoses from the back of the washer, and inspect both screens under good lighting. A clogged or flattened mesh screen is a clear sign of failure. Always replace both hot and cold screens at the same time — they wear at the same rate.

Questions & Answers

Does this part include both hot and cold filter screens?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The AGM73269501 kit includes two screens: one orange screen for the hot water inlet and one blue screen for the cold water inlet. Both should be replaced at the same time for best results.
My LG washer shows an IE error code. Will replacing the filter screen fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
An IE (Inlet Error) code often indicates insufficient water flow, which is frequently caused by a clogged inlet filter screen. Replace both screens first — it is the simplest and cheapest fix. If the error persists, the water inlet valve itself may need replacement.
Is AGM73269501 compatible with Kenmore front-load washers?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes. This part is compatible with a wide range of Sears/Kenmore front-load washers, including models 79641072310, 79641172210, 79641182310, 79641282310, and many others. Please verify your full model number before ordering.
Can I just clean the old screen instead of replacing it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
You can try soaking the screens in white vinegar for 30 minutes and rinsing with water to remove mineral deposits. However, if the mesh is torn, flattened, or the plastic frame is cracked, replacement is necessary. Given the low cost of these screens, replacing them rather than cleaning is generally the more reliable fix.
What tools do I need to replace the AGM73269501 inlet filter screens?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
The installation requires minimal tools: a flathead screwdriver or needle-nose pliers to extract the old screens, and work gloves to protect your hands. The entire job typically takes 10–15 minutes. Always unplug the washer and shut off the water supply valves before starting.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
