When the control board sends voltage to the valve's solenoid coils, internal plungers lift and water flows in. What makes the 5304522535 assembly different from a basic inlet valve is its built-in flow meter — a small turbine sensor that measures the exact volume of water entering the tub and reports it back to the control board, letting the washer fill to the correct level for each cycle and load size rather than relying on a pressure switch alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"pom-desc\"\u003eThis is a genuine OEM Frigidaire part, manufactured by the same supplier that builds it for the factory assembly line. It is a direct replacement for the earlier 5304514791 valve assembly, which Frigidaire superseded with this updated version. The integrated flow meter is included — it is not sold separately on this assembly — so the entire valve-and-sensor unit installs as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"pom-qa\"\u003e\n    \u003cp class=\"pom-qa-label\"\u003eQuick Answer\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003csvg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"#1d4ed8\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" style=\"vertical-align:-2px;margin-right:4px;\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14.7 6.3a1 1 0 0 0 0 1.4l1.6 1.6a1 1 0 0 0 1.4 0l3.77-3.77a6 6 0 0 1-7.94 7.94l-6.91 6.91a2.12 2.12 0 0 1-3-3l6.91-6.91a6 6 0 0 1 7.94-7.94l-3.76 3.76z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill This Fix My Washer?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — if your Electrolux front-load washer won't fill with water, fills too slowly, overfills, leaks from the back near the hose connections, or stops mid-cycle with a water-related error, the \u003cstrong\u003eGenuine OEM 5304522535 Water Inlet Valve Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e is the most likely fix.

Have towels ready — residual water will drain from the hoses when disconnected. The valve sits at the back of the washer behind the top or rear access panel. Disconnect the water supply hoses from the old valve, unplug the wire harness connectors from each solenoid coil, and remove the mounting screws. Install the new 5304522535 valve in the same orientation, reconnect the wire harnesses to the matching solenoid terminals, and reattach the water supply hoses. Hand-tighten the hose connections first, then snug with pliers — do not overtighten or you may crack the plastic inlet ports.
