This Part Fixes These Problems

Washer Not Filling

Drum does not fill with water or fills extremely slowly at the start of a cycle due to a stuck-closed or clogged solenoid coil.

Continuous Water Fill

Water keeps trickling into the tub even when the machine is switched off, caused by a solenoid coil that fails to fully close.

Water Leaking at Valve

Water drips or pools behind the machine at the valve body due to deteriorated internal seals or a cracked valve housing.

Wash Cycle Errors / IE Code

Control board detects insufficient water supply and throws an inlet error (IE) because the faulty valve cannot deliver adequate flow within the allotted fill time.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 5221EA1009C Water Inlet Valve Assembly?

🔧
Built to OEM Specifications5-way (5 inlet ports) solenoid valve assembly matching OEM part 5221EA1009C / 5221EA1009R. Operates at 220V AC, cold water only — engineered to the same flow and pressure ratings as the original USEONG-ECO IV-15S-3 valve.
💧
Intelligent Water ControlAutomatically adjusts water intake according to the selected wash program and shuts off the moment the target water level is reached — preventing overflow and reducing water waste every cycle.
⚡
Millisecond-Level ResponseSolenoid core opens the moment current is applied and resets instantly on power cut-off — delivering the fast, precise on/off cycling demanded by modern front-load wash programs without lag or dripping.
🛡️
Leak-Proof Fully Enclosed DesignReinforced seals and a fully enclosed valve body maintain a watertight closure even under fluctuating supply pressure, keeping your laundry room dry and your machine safe from water-damage claims.
🔩
Direct Plug-and-Play FitIdentical mounting footprint and wire-harness connectors to the original LG valve — no drilling, splicing, or adapter required. Compatible with LG front-load washers including F1103RDP, WD11VBS6, WD11DBS6, WD12VCS6, and WD13VCS6.
💰
Significant Cost Savings vs. OEMGet the same function and fit as the genuine LG part at a fraction of the OEM price — a smart choice for budget-conscious DIYers and professional technicians who repair multiple machines.

💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Inlet Valve Has Failed

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

⚠️ Washer drum fills very slowly or does not fill with water at all

⚠️ Water continues to trickle into the drum when the machine is powered off

⚠️ Error code related to water supply appears on the control panel display

⚠️ Visible water drips or puddles around the valve area at the rear of the machine

🔎 Diagnostic tip: With the washer unplugged, use a multimeter set to resistance (Ω) and probe each solenoid coil terminal pair on the valve. A healthy coil reads roughly 200–500 Ω. An open circuit (OL) or a short (near 0 Ω) confirms the solenoid has failed and the valve must be replaced — do not attempt to clean or disassemble the valve body as this risks internal seal damage.

Questions & Answers

Is this valve compatible with my LG WD11DBS6 front-load washer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The 5221EA1009C is a direct replacement for LG front-load models including the WD11DBS6, WD11VBS6, F1103RDP, WD12VCS6, and WD13VCS6. Always verify your model number on the label inside the door frame before ordering.
My LG washer shows an IE error code. Will replacing this valve fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
An IE (Inlet Error) code means the drum did not reach the required water level within the fill time. The inlet valve is the most common cause — test each solenoid coil with a multimeter for continuity first. If any coil reads open circuit (OL), replace the valve. Also check that the supply tap is fully open and the mesh filter screen at the inlet port is not blocked with sediment.
What is the voltage and configuration of part 5221EA1009C?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
This is a 5-way (5-port) solenoid valve operating at 220V AC, designed for cold water only. It uses the USEONG-ECO IV-15S-3 solenoid block. It is also cross-referenced as 5221EA1009R — both part numbers refer to the same valve.
Water keeps running into the drum even when the washer is off. Is that the inlet valve?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Yes, that is a classic symptom of a failed-open solenoid coil or a debris-contaminated valve seat that prevents the solenoid from closing fully. Replace the entire valve assembly — do not attempt to clean the internals, as disassembly risks damaging the internal seals and the problem typically recurs quickly.
How difficult is it to replace the 5221EA1009C myself, and what tools do I need?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
This is a moderate DIY repair that most homeowners can complete in 20–35 minutes. You will need a Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, a multimeter for pre-diagnosis, and a towel to catch residual water. The key steps are: unplug and isolate water supply → remove rear panel → disconnect hoses and wiring → swap the valve → reassemble and test. Photographing hose positions before removal is strongly recommended.
