Description: This water inlet valve is a Genuine OEM part for select GE Refrigerator models, responsible for controlling the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. It is typically located at the back of the appliance, near the water supply line. The water inlet valve features quick-connect fittings for easy installation and ensures a reliable and steady supply of water for ice production and dispensing.
XPARTCO 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This valve sits underneath the top panel, at the point where the cold water supply hose connects, and it's the gatekeeper for cold water entering the tub. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes the valve's solenoid to open, admitting water; once the correct level is reached, it closes again. This part controls the cold water side specifically — hot fills on these washers are governed by a separate valve.
Rated 12V and terminated with small male spade connectors, this valve measures approximately 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L, with a gray plastic and metal housing. Over time, rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body — a documented failure point on this platform — can prevent it from sealing fully, which lets water continue flowing even after the valve is told to close. A washer that keeps filling even while draining, or that leaks steadily at the cold connection, is a strong sign of exactly this kind of stuck-open valve failure. Other failure modes include a burned-out solenoid coil and general wear from age. It directly replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, and EAP12587936, and is also cross-referenced to the related 5221ER1003A part number.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers where cold water won't fill, fills slowly, keeps filling continuously (even while draining), or leaks at the water connection. 12V cold water inlet valve, small male spade terminals, 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L. Replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, EAP12587936. Rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body is a documented cause of it sticking open — check for rust at the connection before you order.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't fill with cold water at the start of the cycle

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer and shut off the cold water supply valve before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the washer away from the wall for access. Unthread the cold water supply line from the back of the valve first — have a towel ready, since residual water will spill out. Unthread the two screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly underneath. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the spade terminal wire connectors from the old valve, remove its mounting screw or bracket, and pull the valve free. While it's out, inspect the area for rust or mineral scale, and clean the connection point if needed before installing the new valve. Install the new 5221ER1003S in the same position, reconnect the spade terminals, and secure the mounting hardware. Rethread the cold water supply line onto the new valve, tightening securely. Reinstall the top panel and its two screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: channellock pliers, flathead screwdriver, pliers, drill/driver with a Phillips bit, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer keeps filling even while it's draining. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a well-documented failure mode on this platform. Rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body can prevent it from sealing fully closed, so water keeps trickling or flowing into the tub even after the fill portion of the cycle has ended — sometimes enough to keep pace with draining, making it look like the washer is filling and draining simultaneously. If you open up the top panel and see rust around the valve, that strongly confirms this diagnosis.
Cold water won't fill but hot water works fine. Is this the right part?
Yes — this valve controls cold water specifically, and some LG front-load washers use a separate valve for the hot supply. If cold-specific cycles are failing while hot water fills normally, this cold valve is the correct part to replace.
I see rust on my old valve but it isn't leaking yet. Should I still replace it?
It's worth strongly considering. Rust and mineral buildup on this valve is a known precursor to it sticking partially open, which can lead to continuous filling, water waste, and potential water damage if it isn't caught. If you're already inspecting the area and see corrosion forming, replacing the valve proactively is often cheaper and easier than dealing with an active leak later.
What's the difference between 5221ER1003S and 5221ER1003A?
These are cross-referenced as the same valve — 5221ER1003A appears on some parts diagrams and listings as an alternate or prior designation for the identical part. If your washer's diagram shows either number, this listing is the correct replacement.
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 to match the 12V solenoid design, spade terminal connections, and dimensions of the original 5221ER1003S cold water valve used in compatible LG and Kenmore front-load washers.

Install the new WH13X26637 valve in the same position, reconnect all hoses and wire harnesses in the documented positions, and secure the mounting bolts. Reconnect the external supply hoses, restore water supply and power, and run a fill cycle to verify normal filling and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WH13X26637 and WH13X24058?
These are the same quad water inlet valve assembly — WH13X26637 is the current updated part number that GE issued to supersede the earlier WH13X24058. If your washer's documentation, parts diagram, or old valve label shows WH13X24058, the WH13X26637 is the correct current replacement to order. Both are quad (4-solenoid) valve assemblies with the same port configuration and function.
What does each solenoid port on this quad valve control?
The WH13X26637 quad valve has four independently operated solenoid ports. The hot water port opens to supply hot water from the household supply line. The cold water port supplies cold water. The bleach dispenser port delivers cold water through the bleach compartment at the appropriate point in the wash cycle. The fabric softener port delivers water through the softener compartment during the rinse cycle. When any single solenoid fails, only the function it controls is affected — the rest of the valve continues to work normally.
My washer won't fill and shows an error code — is it the water inlet valve?
A fill error code on compatible GE models commonly points to the water inlet valve. Before replacing the valve, confirm that both supply valves behind the washer are fully open, neither supply hose is kinked, and the household water pressure is adequate. You can test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — a working coil shows resistance (typically 200–500 ohms); an open circuit confirms that coil has failed and the valve needs replacement. If all coils test good but the washer still won't fill, the issue may be with the control board or water pressure.
My washer fills fine but won't dispense fabric softener — could it be the valve?
Yes — if only the fabric softener dispenser function is affected, the solenoid coil controlling that specific port has likely failed. Since it is part of the same quad valve assembly, replacing the entire WH13X26637 assembly resolves the failed port. Individual solenoid ports cannot be replaced — the complete quad valve assembly must be replaced when any port fails.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same quad water inlet valve assembly installed in compatible GE and GE Profile top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Store Perishable Food Separately Shut off the water supply and unplug the refrigerator before beginning, and move perishable food to a cooler for the duration of the repair. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear of the cabinet where the water supply line connects. Photograph the wiring harness and water line connections before disconnecting anything. On some installations, the wiring harness has been routed between water supply lines, which can make the connector difficult to reach and unplug — if this is the case, gently reposition or loosen a water line first rather than forcing the connector. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place, then pull it free. Install the new AJU34125552 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully — route the wiring the same way the original was routed, avoiding pinch points against the water lines if possible. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Restore the water supply and check for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place and test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the following day to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker and dispenser both stopped working at the same time. Is that normal for a valve failure?
Yes, this is actually a very telling symptom. Because one valve assembly supplies water to both the ice maker and the door dispenser, a failure inside the valve itself commonly affects both functions simultaneously. If only one of the two has stopped working while the other functions normally, it's worth double-checking the water filter and supply line for a localized restriction before assuming the valve has failed, but a simultaneous failure of both points strongly toward this valve.
The wiring harness on my old valve was hard to reach. Is that normal?
It can be, depending on how the original installation routed the wiring. Some installations run the harness between two water supply lines, which can make the connector awkward to access and unplug. If you find yourself in this situation, gently repositioning or loosening a nearby water line first — rather than forcing the connector — makes it much easier to disconnect without damaging anything.
Could hard water be why my valve failed?
Yes, this is a common and well-documented cause. Mineral deposits from hard water can build up inside the valve over time and interfere with the internal solenoid's ability to open and close properly, eventually leading to failure. If you know your home has hard water and this valve has failed, it may be worth considering a water softener or more frequent filter changes to extend the life of the replacement.
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 includes the same solenoid design and dual-function (ice maker and dispenser) configuration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your refrigerator.
