XPARTCO W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) The XPARTCO W11688995 is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve designed as a direct fit for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The cold water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the cold water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for cold water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting water flow into the tub or detergent dispenser. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely as the correct fill level is reached. When this valve fails, the washer may not fill with cold water at all, fill very slowly, fail to dispense fabric softener, continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display F8E1 or LO FL error codes. Construction is blue and white plastic with metal solenoid coil, ~3"H x 4"W x 3"L, with 1/2" NPT threaded inlet for standard washer supply hose. It directly replaces W11688995, W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, EAP12711564, PD00086086, PS12711564, 4929298, and AP6835737. Often replaced as a pair with the hot water inlet valve (W11688994, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply hoses and will spill when disconnected. Pull the washer out from the wall to access the back. Remove the three 1/4" screws securing the rear edge of the top cover, push the top cover slightly back, and lift it off. Locate the inlet valves at the back of the washer — the cold valve is typically blue. Disconnect the cold water supply hose from the valve (water will drip — towels). Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the small electrical connector from the valve solenoid. Remove the single 3/16" mounting screw (or similar hardware, model-dependent) holding the valve in place, and disconnect any internal water hoses from the valve outlet (channel-lock pliers may help with hose clamps). Install the new W11688995 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the cold supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal cold water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the hot water valve (W11688994) — they share the same access and lifespan. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 3/16" nut driver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What do error codes F8E1 and LO FL mean on Whirlpool washers? Both codes indicate a water fill problem. F8E1 appears when the control board doesn't detect normal water flow during a fill cycle — typically caused by a failed inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, kinked supply hose, or restricted water supply. LO FL (low flow) appears when the washer detects that water is flowing in, but at a rate too low to complete the fill within the expected time window. When the cold water inlet valve has failed or is partially clogged, both codes can appear together. Before replacing the valve, check that the household cold water supply is on and the supply hose isn't kinked, and inspect the inlet screen on the valve for sediment buildup. If those check out, replacing the W11688995 typically resolves the codes. My washer isn't dispensing fabric softener — could this be the cold valve? Yes — this is actually a common symptom that's often misdiagnosed. The cold water inlet valve also feeds the detergent dispenser tray on most Whirlpool front-load washers, including the fabric softener compartment. If the cold valve is clogged or failing to fully open at the right moment in the cycle, water doesn't flow through the fabric softener compartment to flush it into the tub, leaving softener pooled in the tray at the end of the cycle. If you've already cleaned the dispenser tray and water lines and the problem persists, replacing the cold inlet valve (W11688995) often resolves the issue. Should I replace the hot water valve at the same time? Yes, it's strongly recommended. The cold and hot inlet valves are essentially identical components installed side by side at the back of the washer — they're the same age, are exposed to the same wash cycle stress, and have the same expected service life. When one fails, the other is typically not far behind. Since the top cover is already off and both valves are accessible during the same repair, replacing both saves you a second teardown later. The matching hot water valve is part number W11688994 (red, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit. My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — is this the valve? Yes, that's a classic sign of a failed inlet valve. When the solenoid wears out or debris keeps the valve from sealing fully closed, water leaks past it at low rates and drips into the tub even with the washer powered off — especially noticeable as a slow puddle forming over a day or two. Since both the hot and cold valves feed into the tub, you'll want to identify which one is leaking: shut off the hot water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the hot valve is at fault; if it continues, this cold valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688995 will resolve a leaking cold valve. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, electrical specifications, 1/2" NPT thread, and solenoid function of the original W11688995 cold water inlet valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and Kenmore front-load washers.

W11210459 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve The W11210459 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool top-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper models. This valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub during the fill portion of each cycle — an electrical solenoid opens and closes the valve to admit exactly the right amount of water for the selected wash setting. Over time, mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve, or general wear in the solenoid coil, can cause the valve to fail. A failing valve typically shows up as the washer not filling with water, filling very slowly, or water continuing to leak into the tub after the wash has completed. It directly replaces AP6329217, W10701459, W10838319, W11038711, 4591321, PS12349267, W10869799, W11025984, and W11210459VP. Quick Answer The W11210459 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper top-load washers that won't fill, fill very slowly, or continue leaking water into the tub after the wash has finished. Replaces AP6329217, W10701459, W10838319, W11038711, 4591321, PS12349267, W10869799, W11025984, W11210459VP. The control panel can be removed more easily with a putty knife slid under each end to release the clips, rather than removing the back panel first. Common Problems This Part Fixes Washer not filling with water Washer filling very slowly Water continuing to leak into the tub after the wash cycle has completed No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This washer water inlet valve directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: W11210459, W10701459, W10838319, W11038711, 4591321, W10869799, W11025984, 33190189, 33190190, W10423122, W10423124, W10868380, W10868381, AP6329217, AWP43369, EAP12349267, OEM18987660, PD00042885, PS12349267 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This water inlet valve is compatible with select Whirlpool top-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper washers built on the Whirlpool platform, including model numbers such as WTW5000DW1 and WTW4816FW2. Note — not the same as W11210463: A similarly-numbered valve, W11210463 (also cross-referenced as W11101906), is a separate part with its own cross-reference set (W10701461, W10883458, W10869803, W11038696, AP6329219), used on other Whirlpool washer models. The two are easy to confuse given how close the numbers are — always confirm you have the exact part number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine Whirlpool OEM part — factory-specified solenoid design and flow rate Regulates hot and cold water flow into the washer tub Resolves "won't fill," "fills slowly," and "leaks after cycle completes" symptoms caused by valve failure Factory Certified Part built to Whirlpool's engineering specifications Direct drop-in replacement — matches the original mounting and hose connections Replaces AP6329217, W10701459, W10838319, W11038711, 4591321, PS12349267, W10869799, W11025984, and W11210459VP Compatible with Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper top-load washers Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Moderate DIY repair Product Specifications Part Number W11210459 Part Type Washer Water Inlet Valve Condition Genuine OEM Brand Whirlpool Application Top-Load Washers Function Controls hot and cold water flow into the tub Repair Difficulty Moderate Quantity 1 valve Compatible Brands Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, Roper Installation Notes ⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Use A Putty Knife To Release The Control Panel Disconnect power at the outlet, or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance, and shut off both hot and cold water supplies before beginning. Wear work gloves. The top control panel can be removed more easily by sliding a putty knife under the panel on each end to release the retaining clips, rather than removing the back panel first — one customer specifically noted this trick saved considerable time after trying the back-panel approach without success. With the panel released, locate the water inlet valve and photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and the hot/cold water lines from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new W11210459 in the same position, reconnect the water lines and electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the control panel. Restore the water supply and power, then run a full test cycle across a few temperature settings to confirm correct fill behavior with no leaking. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My washer isn't filling with water. Is this the right part? Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the washer, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding. What's the easiest way to access the control panel for this repair? Try sliding a putty knife under the panel at each end to release the retaining clips, rather than removing the back panel of the washer first. One customer specifically learned this trick after trying the back-panel approach with no luck, then found the putty knife method worked cleanly after watching an online tutorial. Is this the same as W11210463? No, these are two separate Whirlpool valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close number match. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO WH12X955 Washer Lid Switch The XPARTCO WH12X955 is an aftermarket replacement lid switch assembly compatible with GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo units (including GE spacemaker and stacked laundry models). The lid switch is a safety component mounted inside the washer lid — it detects whether the lid is open or closed and signals the control that it's safe for the machine to start, agitate, and spin. When the lid closes, the switch activates and the washer can run through its full cycle. If the lid switch fails, the washer typically won't spin or drain, may not start or agitate at all, and clothes are left sitting in water. This is a complete lid switch assembly with an integrated wiring harness and ground wire. Dimensions: 1-1/4" H x 2-1/4" W x 16" D (the 16" depth is the wire harness that routes from the lid down into the washer cabinet). It directly replaces WH12X955, WH12X0955, AP2045786, 278666, AH270219, EA270219, PS270219, and OEM6137363. Installation involves accessing the lid itself — the switch mounts inside the lid with two screws plus a separate ground wire screw. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WH12X955 Washer Lid Switch fixes GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo units where the washer won't spin, won't drain, won't start, or won't agitate — leaving clothes sitting in water.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp sheet metal edges. This repair requires removing the washer lid to access the switch. Open the lid, then push it toward the back of the machine to release the plastic clips at the front that hold the lid up. Slowly lift the lid at the front — you'll see the lid switch is the only thing still connecting the lid to the washer body. Confirm the power is off, then unclip the electrical connector that joins the lid switch harness to the washer's wiring (it's typically a molex-style connector). With the connector released, you can carry the lid to a workbench or flat surface to work on it comfortably. On the underside/inside of the lid, remove the two screws on the right-hand side that hold the switch in place, then remove the screw that secures the ground wire to the inside of the lid. Lift out the old switch. The new WH12X955 switch snaps into place — seat it, reinstall the two mounting screws, and reattach the ground wire with its screw. Route the new harness cable through the same path as the old one; you can gently lift the retaining clips with a flathead screwdriver to slide the new cable through. Reconnect the electrical connector, set the lid back into position, and press it down until the front plastic clips engage. Restore power and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer agitates, drains, and spins. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, flathead screwdriver, work gloves. (Tip: if you drop the ground wire nut inside the cabinet, a magnet on a stick makes retrieval easy.) Frequently Asked Questions My washer won't spin or drain — is the lid switch the cause? Yes — this is the single most common and telling symptom of a failed lid switch. The lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents the drum from spinning while the lid is open. When the switch fails (cracked body, worn internal contacts, or broken wiring), the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin and drain phases as a safety measure — leaving your clothes sitting in water. On many GE washer/dryer combos, a failed lid switch will also prevent the machine from starting or agitating at all. If your washer fills but goes no further, or completes the wash but leaves clothes soaked, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is depressed. Why is this switch 16" long? The 16" dimension is the length of the wiring harness, not the switch body itself. The switch mounts inside the washer lid, and its harness has to route from the lid, through the hinge area, down into the washer cabinet to reach the main wiring connector. That's why the assembly comes with a long attached cable — and it's also why this repair involves removing the lid to access everything. The switch body itself is compact at roughly 1-1/4" H x 2-1/4" W. Does this fit my standalone GE top-load washer? Probably not. The WH12X955 is specifically used on GE washer/dryer combo units and spacemaker/stacked laundry models. Standalone GE top-load washers use different lid switch part numbers. Because the lid switch design and mounting vary significantly across GE's washer lineup, always search by your appliance model number to confirm the correct part before ordering. If your unit is a standalone top-loader, contact our support team with your model number and we'll identify the right lid switch for it. Do I really have to take the lid off to install this? On most compatible models, yes — the lid switch mounts inside the lid itself, so you'll need to release the lid from the washer body to reach the two mounting screws and the ground wire screw. The good news is that the lid comes off fairly easily: push it toward the back to release the front plastic clips, then lift it slowly, unclip the electrical connector, and carry the lid to a comfortable work surface. Working on the lid off the machine is far easier than trying to reach into a cramped laundry closet. Just be sure power is disconnected before unclipping the connector. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions (1-1/4"H x 2-1/4"W x 16"D), harness and ground wire configuration, connector, mounting, and lid-detection function of the original WH12X955 lid switch used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built washer/dryer combo and spacemaker units.

XPARTCO WH01X29528 Washer Door Lock The XPARTCO WH01X29528 is an aftermarket replacement door lock assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Monogram front-load washing machines — as well as select GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer units. The door lock is a safety mechanism mounted at the front of the washer where the door closes — it automatically engages when the door is shut, securing it closed for the entire wash and spin cycle so water and detergent can't spill out and cause injury. It also signals the control board that the door is safely locked, which is what allows the washer to start filling and running. When the door lock fails, the washer typically won't start, won't lock the door, stops mid-cycle, or throws a door-related error code. Rated 120 VAC, 60Hz, 16A. Failure usually comes from physical damage or normal wear over time. As a direct replacement for the GE WH01X29528, it also replaces AP6985313, EAP12749276, PS12749276, PD00060769, and 4958749 (additional production markings: ITW 12070-71, V13305, 0024000128GE).

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a failed lock, you may need to access the manual release. Peel back the rubber door boot/gasket from the front panel edge near the lock to expose the door lock assembly — on some models this requires releasing the spring-loaded wire clamp that secures the boot with needle-nose pliers. Photograph the wire harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the door lock assembly to the front panel. Reach in and pull the assembly out through the door opening far enough to access the wire connector. Disconnect the wire harness plug from the old assembly (no wiring modifications are needed — it's a direct plug connection). Snap the new WH01X29528 assembly onto the wire harness plug until it clicks firmly, position it in the front panel opening, and secure it with the mounting screws. Press the rubber door boot back into its groove and reinstall the spring-loaded wire clamp if applicable. Restore power and test by closing the door and starting a cycle — confirm the door locks, the washer runs, and the door unlocks at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My GE washer won't start and shows a door error — is this the part? Very likely, yes. GE front-load washers won't start unless the control board receives confirmation from the door lock that the door is closed and locked — it's a safety interlock. When the door lock fails, the washer either won't lock the door, won't start, or displays a door-related message on the panel. If your door appears to close normally but the washer won't begin the cycle (or stops shortly after starting), the door lock is the most common cause. Replacing the WH01X29528 typically resolves it. If you've already replaced the door lock and the problem persists, the issue may be the main control board instead. I replaced the door lock and it worked briefly, then failed again — what's wrong? If a new door lock works for a short time (seconds to minutes) and then the washer goes back to showing a door error, the problem may not be the lock itself but the main control board that powers and monitors it. A control board with a failing door-lock circuit can damage or fail to properly drive the lock, causing repeated symptoms even after replacing the lock. Some customers report an electrical smell or humming from the lock in these cases. If you've replaced the door lock (especially more than once) and the door error returns, the main control board is the next component to investigate. Contact our support team with your model number for the correct control board part. Does this fit the GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer? Yes — the WH01X29528 is used on select GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer units (such as the PFQ97HSPV0DS) in addition to standalone GE front-load washers. The combo units use the same door lock design as the front-load washers in the GFW/PFW families. As always, confirm your specific model number against the compatibility list before ordering, since GE uses different door locks across different washer generations. How do I open the door if it's stuck locked and the washer won't run? If the door is stuck in the locked position because of a failed lock, first make sure there's no water in the drum (run or complete a drain cycle if possible). Then unplug the washer and wait a few minutes — some GE models release the lock after power is removed. If it's still stuck, most front-load washers have a manual release mechanism accessible from behind the lower kick panel at the front of the machine — a tab or cord you pull to manually disengage the lock. Consult your model's manual for the manual release location. Once the door is open, you can proceed with replacing the lock. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured from durable, moisture-resistant materials to match the electrical specifications (120 VAC, 60Hz, 16A), connector configuration, mounting, and door-locking function of the original WH01X29528 door lock used in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, and related front-load washers and combo units.

XPARTCO WH01X20826 Washing Machine Shock Absorber The XPARTCO WH01X20826 is an aftermarket replacement shock absorber (damper) for GE front-load washers. The wash tub inside a front-load washer hangs suspended inside the cabinet, and a set of these shock absorbers is what controls that movement — dampening the tub's vibration and motion during spin so it doesn't bang against the cabinet or shake the whole machine. These washers typically use four shock absorbers working together around the tub, and this listing is for a single individual shock absorber. Over time the internal damping material in these shocks wears out, or the shock can physically separate from its mounting point — something that can also happen if the washer is moved or shifted without the tub properly secured first. Because all four shocks on a given washer are typically the same age and under the same stress, if one has failed the others are often not far behind — many technicians recommend ordering four of this same part and replacing the full set together as a preventative measure. A worn or detached shock absorber produces a very recognizable symptom: excessive vibration, shaking, or banging noise during the spin cycle, sometimes strong enough that the washer visibly moves or "walks" across the floor. It directly replaces WH01X20826, AGE25988, AP5982139, AGE25988, EAP11701130, PD00037528, PS11701130. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WH01X20826 Washing Machine Shock Absorber fixes GE front-load washers (and select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, and Kenmore models built on the GE platform) that vibrate, shake, or bang excessively during spin, or seem to "walk" across the floor. Sold as a single individual shock absorber.

Common Problems This Part Fixes Excessive vibration or shaking during the spin cycle Loud banging or knocking noise from inside the cabinet during spin Washer that seems to "walk" or move across the floor during operation Tub striking the cabinet frame or nearby panels Shock absorber that has visibly separated or detached from its mounting point Noise or vibration that started or worsened after the washer was moved or relocated Visible wear, cracking, or looseness in the shock absorber material Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Access to the shock absorbers typically requires removing the top and/or front panel of the washer to reach the tub suspension points — check your model's service diagram, since access varies. Photograph how each old shock absorber connects to the frame and the tub before removing anything, since these components are symmetrical around the tub and easy to reverse or mismatch. Disconnect the old shock absorber from its mounting point at both the frame and tub ends, and remove the mounting pin. Install the new shock absorber in the same position with its mounting pin, matching the original orientation. If you're only replacing one shock, be aware the remaining three original shocks are the same age and under the same stress — many technicians recommend ordering three more of this same part and replacing all four together to avoid reopening the washer again soon after. Once installed, gently rock the tub by hand to confirm even resistance at each corner before reassembling the panels. Restore power and run a full spin cycle to confirm the vibration, shaking, or banging noise has resolved. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to order more than one of these? This listing is for a single shock absorber, but GE front-load washers use four of them working together around the tub. If one has failed, it's strongly worth ordering four total and replacing the full set, since all four are typically the same age and have been under the same stress — replacing just one risks having to reopen the washer again soon after for the next one. My washer started shaking right after I moved it to a new spot. Is that related? Yes, this is a documented cause of shock absorber problems on this platform. If the tub wasn't properly secured or the washer was tilted significantly during a move, one or more shock absorbers can separate from their mounting point. Check that all four shocks are still properly connected at both ends before assuming a shock itself has failed — sometimes reseating a separated shock is all that's needed, though if it shows wear it's worth replacing regardless. How much vibration is normal, and how do I know it's actually the shocks? Some vibration during high-speed spin is normal, especially with an unbalanced load. But vibration strong enough to move the washer across the floor, or accompanied by a banging or knocking noise from inside the cabinet, points to a suspension problem rather than a simple unbalanced load. Try redistributing the laundry evenly in the drum and running the spin cycle again — if the shaking persists with a balanced load, inspect the shock absorbers for wear, cracking, or separation. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the dimensions, mounting configuration, and damping performance of the original WH01X20826 shock absorber used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café, and Kenmore front-load washers.

Pull the washer away from the wall to access the back panel. The water inlet valve assembly is mounted on the upper rear of the washer — the external supply hoses connect to the hot and cold inlet ports. Photograph all wire harness connections and hose routing before disconnecting anything. Before installing, install the new inlet screens (AGM73269501) included in the kit into the hot and cold inlet ports of the new valve. Disconnect the old valve's external supply hoses, internal hoses, and wire harness connectors. Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the old valve. Install the new AJU75152601 valve, reconnect all hoses and wire harnesses in the same positions as documented in your photos, and secure the mounting screws. Reconnect the external supply hoses, restore water supply and power, and run a fill cycle to verify proper filling, confirm all dispenser ports activate at the correct cycle points, and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between AJU75152601, AJU73213301, and 5221EA1008F? These are all part numbers for the same LG washer water inlet valve assembly used across different production runs. 5221EA1008F was the original part number, AJU73213301 was an updated version, and AJU75152601 is the current part number. All three are interchangeable. If your washer's documentation, parts diagram, or old valve label shows any of these numbers, this replacement is the correct current part to order. My washer won't dispense fabric softener — is this the right part? Yes — the fabric softener dispenser solenoid is one of the ports integrated into the AJU75152601 valve assembly. When the fabric softener dispenser fails to activate at the right point in the rinse cycle, it is almost always because the solenoid valve controlling that port has failed. Since it is part of the same multi-port valve assembly, replacing the AJU75152601 resolves fabric softener, bleach, and jet spray dispenser issues in the same repair. Individual ports cannot be replaced — the complete assembly must be replaced when any one port fails. What are the AGM73269501 inlet screens included in the kit? The AGM73269501 screens are small mesh filters that install inside the hot and cold water inlet ports of the valve. They trap mineral deposits and debris from the household water supply before they can reach the valve seats and solenoid mechanisms. The kit includes two screens — one for the hot inlet and one for the cold inlet. Installing these fresh screens with the new valve helps extend valve life, especially in areas with hard water. If the old valve failed due to mineral clogging rather than solenoid failure, cleaning the supply hoses before installation is also recommended. How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed vs. the control board? You can test the valve solenoids with a multimeter. Disconnect the harness from a solenoid coil and probe both terminals — a working solenoid coil shows a resistance reading (typically 200–500 ohms); an open circuit confirms the solenoid has failed. If all solenoid coils test good but the valve still does not operate, the control board may not be sending the correct 12V DC signal to the solenoids — this requires checking voltage at the solenoid connectors with the washer powered and in a fill cycle, which is a more advanced diagnostic step. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from ABS plastic and stainless steel to match the port configuration, solenoid specifications, and dimensions of the original AJU75152601 water inlet valve assembly.

4681EA2001T Genuine OEM LG Washer Drain Pump Motor The 4681EA2001T is a genuine LG OEM drain pump motor for LG and Kenmore front-load washers, and also fits washer/dryer combo units. This motor is responsible for removing water from the washer at the end of the wash and spin cycles, expelling it through the drain hose so the machine can move on to the next stage of the cycle. This part is the motor only — you'll reuse your existing pump housing. It includes the pump impeller, which is not sold separately. Rated 120V-127V, 60Hz, 85W, 1.4A, with a flow rate of 45L per minute. Measures approximately 6.57" x 4.29" x 3.5". As of April 2025, the design of this drain pump motor changed to a gray housing, replacing the earlier black housing — this is expected and doesn't affect fit or function. Common failure causes include a worn or seized motor and general electrical wear. Symptoms of a failing drain pump motor include the washer not draining, unusual noise during the drain cycle, an OE error code, or leaking near the pump if the motor fails while still under load. It directly replaces 4681EA2001D, 4681EA2001U, 4681EA2001N, 4681EA1007G, 4681EA1007D, LP2001T, AP5328388, 2003273, 1468049, DP040-038, EAP3523278, EAP3579318, and 5214FR4006L.

Wear work gloves. Lay towels down in front of the washer before starting, and have a pail ready. Remove the detergent drawer and check the drain filter (bottom lower left panel door) to confirm it's clean and the drain line isn't blocked before assuming the motor is at fault. Many customers find it easier to access the pump from underneath by carefully laying the washer on its back — be prepared for a significant amount of additional water to drain out onto the floor once you do this, so keep towels close by. With access to the pump, disconnect the electrical connector from the old motor and separate the motor from the pump housing, which you'll reuse with the new motor. Attach the new 4681EA2001T motor to your existing pump housing, transferring the impeller setup as needed. Reconnect the electrical connector fully. Stand the washer back upright, reinstall the detergent drawer, and reconnect the water supply and power. Test the new pump to confirm it drains properly before considering the repair complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, locking pliers, needle nose pliers, small flathead screwdriver, towels, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My washer shows an OE error code and isn't draining. Is this the part I need? Likely yes. An OE error code on LG washers is commonly tied to a drain issue, and a bad drain pump motor is one of the most frequent causes. Before replacing the motor, it's worth checking that the drain filter and coin trap (if your model has one) are clean and that the drain line itself isn't blocked, since those are simpler and cheaper things to rule out first. Does this come with the pump housing? No, this is the motor only, and it includes the pump impeller, which isn't sold separately. You'll reuse your existing pump housing during installation rather than replacing it as part of this repair. The new motor's housing looks a different color than I expected. Did I get the wrong part? No, this is expected. As of April 2025, LG changed the design of this drain pump motor to use a gray housing in place of the earlier black housing. This is a normal manufacturing update and doesn't affect fit or function. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original motor design, impeller, and electrical rating of the drain pump motor originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO DC97-15459G Washer Water Valve  The XPARTCO DC97-15459G is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve assembly compatible with a wide range of Samsung top-load washers. This valve mounts at the rear of the washer and controls the flow of water into the drum, opening electronically when the control board calls for a fill and closing once the target water level is reached. It connects via five terminal connections to the wiring harness and to the hot/cold supply hoses. When this valve fails, the washer commonly won't fill with water, fills very slowly, overfills, or continues to trickle water even when powered off — the last of which points to a valve that isn't sealing properly rather than an electrical fault. It directly replaces DC97-15459G, 3276197, AP5623056, ASM1220342, EAP4220861, PD00007887, PS4220861. Sold individually; does not include wire harness or mounting screws.

Pull the washer away from the wall for access to the rear panel. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses from the old valve — have a towel ready to catch residual water. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, then unplug the wire harness connectors from the old valve. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve to the cabinet and remove the old valve. Install the new DC97-15459G valve in the same position using your existing mounting screws (not included with this part) and reconnect the wire harness, matching your photos. Reconnect the hot and cold supply hoses, making sure they're threaded onto the correct ports. Turn the water supply back on and check for leaks at the hose connections before restoring power. Run a test cycle to confirm the washer fills correctly and doesn't leak. Tools needed: adjustable pliers or channel locks (for hose connections), Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers. Frequently Asked Questions My washer trickles water into the drum even when it's unplugged — is this the part? Yes, this is a classic symptom of a water inlet valve that isn't sealing properly. Since the valve is the only thing standing between your home's pressurized water supply and the drum, a valve that won't fully close will let water trickle through even with zero power to the washer. This is different from an electrical fill problem, which typically shows up as the washer not filling at all rather than filling when it shouldn't. Does this include the wire harness and mounting screws? No — this valve is sold individually. You'll reuse your existing wire harness connector and mounting screws from the old valve during installation. Will this fit my Kenmore washer? This valve fits select Kenmore washers that were built by Samsung and share this platform's water valve design. Confirm your appliance model number before ordering, since not all Kenmore washers use this valve. Do I need to shut off the water supply to replace this? Yes — always shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before disconnecting the hoses from the old valve. Skipping this step will result in water spraying from the open supply lines once the hoses are disconnected.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. The lid switch is located under the control panel at the top rear left corner of the washer. To access it, you'll need to remove the control panel: on most direct-drive washers, use a putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver to release the spring clips at the bottom edge of the control panel (typically two clips), then flip the control panel up and back on its hinges to rest against the wall behind the washer. You should now see the lid switch mounted on the left side with two screws. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting. Unplug the wiring harness from the 3 flat terminals on the old lid switch — note how the harness connects. Remove the two mounting screws holding the old switch in place. Also disconnect the green grounding wire (it's attached separately with its own screw). Remove the old switch. Install the new 8318084 switch in the same position using the two mounting screws. Reconnect the green grounding wire with its screw. Plug the wiring harness back onto the 3 flat terminals, matching your photos. Flip the control panel back down and press it into place until the spring clips snap. Plug the washer back in and test by closing the lid and running a cycle — confirm the washer starts, agitates, spins, and drains. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, putty knife or flat-blade screwdriver (for spring clips), work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My washer won't spin but still fills — is the lid switch the problem? Very likely, yes. On direct-drive top-load washers, the lid switch is a safety interlock that prevents spinning and agitating when the lid is open. When the switch fails, the control never receives the "lid closed" signal, so it blocks the spin (and often the agitate and drain) as a safety measure — but filling still works because that doesn't require the lid interlock. If your washer fills but won't advance past that point, or agitates but refuses to spin, the lid switch is the prime suspect. You can confirm by testing the switch for continuity with a multimeter when the lever is pressed — a working switch shows continuity when activated. Why would a bad lid switch cause a burning smell? This happens when the motor tries to engage but the lid switch isn't signaling correctly, causing the motor to stall or repeatedly attempt to start without completing the cycle. A stalling direct-drive motor generates heat that produces a burning smell. If you notice a burning smell AND the washer isn't spinning or agitating properly, check the lid switch first — it's far more likely (and cheaper) than a motor failure. If the burning smell continues after replacing the switch, have the motor and motor coupling inspected by a technician. What's the difference between 8318084 and WP8318084? These are the same lid switch across production revisions. 8318084 was the original part number and WP8318084 is the Whirlpool-era part number (with the "WP" prefix Whirlpool adopted). WP8318084VP is a variant packaging code. All are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows any of these numbers, this listing is the correct replacement. The many additional cross-references (AP3180933, AP6012742, ES8084, PS886960, PS11745957, etc.) are catalog identifiers from various parts distributors for the same switch. Does this fit my stacked laundry center or front-load washer? No — the 8318084 is specifically designed for standalone direct-drive top-load washers on the Whirlpool platform. Stacked washer/dryer laundry centers use different lid switch part numbers (such as the 3355806 for Whirlpool thin twin units), and front-load washers use door lock assemblies instead of lid switches. Always search by your appliance's model number to confirm the correct part. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch fits your machine. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the electrical specifications (125–250V, 50–60Hz, 1/2 HP), dimensions (3"L x 2"W x 1-15/16"H), 3-flat-terminal configuration, grounding wire, and lid-detection function of the original WP8318084 lid switch used in compatible Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Roper, Estate, Maytag, Amana, and related direct-drive top-load washers.
