XPARTCO AJU75152601 Washer Water Inlet Valve Replaces 5221EA1008F, AJU73213301
The XPARTCO AJU75152601 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore top-load washers in the WT1, WT4, WT5, WT6, and WT7 series. This is a multi-port valve assembly that controls water flow from the household supply lines into the washer tub and dispenser compartments. The assembly contains multiple solenoid-operated valve ports: hot water inlet, cold water inlet, bleach dispenser valve, fabric softener dispenser valve, and jet spray valve — all integrated into a single assembly that connects to the washer's control board via wiring harnesses.
When the water inlet valve fails — or when one individual port fails — the washer may not fill at all, fill too slowly, fill with the wrong temperature, overfill, fail to dispense bleach or fabric softener, or leak from the valve body. The valve solenoids operate at 12V DC. This kit includes the complete valve assembly and two AGM73269501 inlet screens. It directly replaces AJU73213301, 5221EA1008F, 5221EA1008P, AGF76283896, AP6308239, TAW35618287, AH3527446, AJU75152603, EA3527446, PS3527446, and PS12374721. Installs in 15–25 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. 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.
