Introduction
Use this guide to replace one or both inlet valve assemblies in your LG WM3050CW Washing Machine.
The inlet valves control the flow of hot and cold water into the washer. If your washer doesn't fill with water and your water supply is fine, you may need to replace these valves.
Note: this guide only shows replacing the cold water assembly. The hot water assembly is adjacent to the cold water, and the procedure is identical.
