Introduction
Follow this guide to replace the inlet valve filters in your LG front load washing machine.
The inlet valve filters block debris from the water inlet hoses. These filters can get clogged with sediment, which slows down the tub filling process.
This guide will work for most LG front load washing machines. This guide is written with a model WM3050CW washer. If you have a different model, you may encounter some minor disassembly differences, but the overall repair process will be the same.
