Product review (5 stars): Factory identical valve
This is the cold water valve - I bought both the hot and cold replacements for my LG front loading machine. It is a very easy do it yourself project and saves a lot of money. The replacements were identical to the old valves minus all the calcium buildup that mine had. That was the reason for replacement. My area has very hard water and the original valves corroded so they would not work. Now, for under $50 I have a like-new washing machine again, and I have the satisfaction of having done it myself - 67 year old lady, getting mightier every day.
