5220FR2006H Washer Genuine OEM Water Inlet Valve (Hot)
The 5220FR2006H is a genuine LG OEM hot water inlet valve for LG front-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore models. This valve connects to your home's hot water line and controls the flow of hot water into the tub during the fill portion of each cycle, opening as the cycle calls for hot water and closing once the correct fill level and temperature mix are reached. The valve has a standard hose fitting inlet and a single water outlet.
Common causes of failure include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body and general electrical wear in the solenoid. Symptoms of a failing valve include the washer not filling, not stopping when it should, not starting, leaking water, not washing properly, no hot water reaching the tub, or an IE error code displayed on the control panel. It directly replaces 1268123, 5220FR1280F, 5220FR2006L, 5220FR2006Q, AP4441935, ALG51717, AH3527427, EA3527427, EAP3527427, PD00001765, PS3527427.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting Turn off the water supply and unplug the washing machine from the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves. Locate the top cover of your washer — depending on your model, it may be located along the side or in the back — and use a flat-blade screwdriver to gently pry it off. Locate the hot water valve and disconnect the water supply hose from it, using locking pliers to loosen the hose clamp before carefully pulling the hose away. Unscrew the screws holding the valve in place and gently remove it from the washer. Mount the new 5220FR2006H valve in place and replace the screws. Reconnect the water supply hose to the valve and tighten the hose clamp using locking pliers. Turn the water supply back on and plug the washer back in. Test the new valve by running a load of laundry and checking for any leaks. Tools needed: flat-blade screwdriver, locking pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer isn't getting hot water. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed hot water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits hot water from your household supply into the washer, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent hot water from entering properly, even if cold water fill still works normally.
My washer shows an IE error code. Could this valve be the cause?
Yes, an IE error code on LG washers is commonly tied to a fill issue, and a failed inlet valve — hot or cold — is one of the most frequent causes. Confirm which side (hot or cold) is actually affected before ordering, since these are separate parts.
Should I replace the cold water valve at the same time?
It's worth considering, especially if both valves are the same age. One customer specifically purchased both the hot and cold water inlet valves together during a single repair, along with a new drain pump motor, rather than tackling each part separately over multiple repairs.
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 solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the hot water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.
