This Part Fixes These Problems

Washer Won't Fill

Tub does not fill with water or fills extremely slowly on any cycle — solenoid coil has failed open circuit.

Continuous Water Fill

Water keeps running into the tub non-stop even when the washer is off or between cycles — valve stuck open.

Dispenser Not Flushing

Bleach or prewash detergent compartment fails to flush because the corresponding solenoid coil is not activating.

Washer Leaking at Rear

Water drips or pools behind the machine due to cracked valve body, degraded gaskets, or damaged inlet port connections.

Incomplete Fill / Wrong Water Level

Machine only partially fills, causing poor wash performance because one coil is intermittently failing.

Product Description

Why Choose Our 5221ER1003M Inlet Valve Assembly?

🔧
Built to OEM Specifications3-coil solenoid design — cold water, bleach dispenser, and prewash circuits — precisely matches the original LG engineering for correct water flow on every cycle.
🔩
Drop-In Fit, No ModificationsIdentical mounting bracket, port locations, and wiring harness connector as the factory part — installs in 20–35 minutes with basic hand tools.
💧
Restores Precise Water Fill ControlSolenoid coils open and close on command from the control board, ensuring fill levels are reached on every selected wash cycle — no more under-fill or continuous water flow.
🏷️
Wide Compatibility — LG & KenmoreConfirmed fit for LG WM3700, WM3600, WM3500, WM3400 series and Kenmore Elite 796.41782/41783 front-load washers. Replaces OEM numbers AP6334246, PS12579227, and 5220FR2075V.
🛡️
Durable ConstructionBuilt with robust solenoid coils and corrosion-resistant inlet screens to resist sediment buildup and gasket dry-out — the two most common causes of inlet valve failure.
💰
Significant Savings vs. OEMOEM list price runs $100–$108 at major retailers. Our aftermarket replacement delivers the same performance at a fraction of the cost — no service call required.

💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Faulty Water Inlet Valve

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

⚠️ Washer tub fills very slowly or not at all during any cycle

⚠️ Water keeps running into the tub continuously even when the machine is off

⚠️ Bleach or prewash dispenser compartment does not flush properly

⚠️ Visible water drips or leaks around the rear inlet valve area

🔍 Technician tip: Before replacing, check that the household water supply hoses are fully open and the inlet screens are not clogged with sediment. If flow is confirmed but the tub still won't fill, test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — an open circuit (infinite resistance) confirms the valve has failed and needs replacement. Do NOT attempt to clean a failed valve; internal damage is usually not visible.

Questions & Answers

Will this valve work on my LG WM3700HWA washer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The 5221ER1003M is a confirmed direct-fit replacement for the WM3700HWA. Always verify your full model number on the door jamb label before ordering.
My Kenmore Elite 796.41782710 keeps filling with water and won't stop — is this the right part?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
A valve that stays open and allows continuous water flow is a classic sign of a failed inlet valve. The 5221ER1003M is the correct replacement for Kenmore Elite model 79641782710. Replace the valve and the symptom should be resolved.
This is a 3-coil valve — what does each coil control?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
On LG front-load washers using this valve, the three solenoid coils typically control: (1) main cold water fill, (2) the bleach dispenser compartment flush, and (3) the prewash/detergent compartment flush. All three are included in this single assembly.
How do I know if the inlet valve is the problem and not the control board?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Set your multimeter to resistance (Ω) mode and test each solenoid coil across its two terminals. A healthy coil reads roughly 200–500 Ω. An open circuit (OL / infinite resistance) means that coil is burned out and the valve needs replacement. If all coils test good, the issue may be with the control board or wiring harness instead.
Does this aftermarket valve include the inlet screens, and do I need to transfer anything from the old part?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
Yes, the replacement assembly comes complete with inlet screens pre-installed at the hose connection ports. No parts need to be transferred from the old valve. Simply swap the hoses, harness connectors, and mounting screws as described in the installation steps.
