Product review (3 stars): Misrepresented - NOT OEM part  Plus I didn't need it after all!  Don't use the flood protector hoses with this valve.
Our LG washer stopped working and after verifying good water flow, clean screens, and power to the solenoids I felt pretty confident it was this four-way water inlet valve.  This seemed a great price, and by paying a bit extra for quick delivery it arrived in three business days.  On arrival I was surprised that it was NOT an LG OEM part (as in the picture) but in a plastic bag marked "OEM equivalent".  I don't want to mess with less than first rate quality so I wouldn't have ordered this knowing it was not a genuine LG part.

It sure looked equivalent, and I installed it then ran a wash.  Prerinse and main wash flowed well, and I proudly thought I fixed the washer and saved money!  Then the cycle never finished - the rinse would not work.  Now feeling really bad about not having got the genuine OEM part.  Just to be thorough I disconnected everything and started over.  Even though I checked water flow (flowing well into a bucket) I replaced the line.  Bingo!  It was the stupid "floodsensor" feed line.  It would periodically work - something about this four way valve and the safety valve in the water line would not allow rinse to work.  I did not have to replace the valve in the first place.

So a couple of lessons.
1) If you are having water problems with your LG (or Kenmore equivalent) frontload washer, and you have the nice watersense "flood protector" feed lines - replace them with plain hoses before you try anything else.

2) Only if that doesn't work, then check to see what is going on.  I found for LG there is a simple diagnosis by doing a "water valve test"  Found this after a lot of searching. You'd think they'd put this in the owner's manual!  Here is the test:

a) Press/hold SPIN SPEED & SOIL LEVEL buttons and then press POWER button.
  Wait for the door to lock (single click sound)
b) Press START button (4) times at one second intervals--this will activate the PRE-WASH VALVE (you should hear water flow)
c) Press START button a 5th time--MAIN WASH VALVE test.
d) Press 6th time--HOT WATER VALVE test
e) Press for 7th time--STEAM VALVE test.
f) Press 8th time--BLEACH VALVE test.
If water did not flow for step b, c, e, or f you need the four way valve replaced (this part)
If water did not flow for step d, you need the separate hot water valve replaced (not this part)
I do acknowledge that the problem could also be a bad controller, or bad wire, but this is really unlikely.

3) So if you do need the four way valve, this part certainly works.  It just is NOT the original OEM part.

4) If you are replacing the valve, BEFORE you remove your old valve (easy to do), with a permanent marker mark 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the top of the solenoids, and the matching number on the electrical connectors.  PLUS put some masking tape on each of the four hoses and mark the corresponding hose number to whatever you numbered each valve.  Only after you do this then disconnect the electrical connectors and hoses.  You do NOT want to mix the hoses or wires up!

Good luck!
