Hi all,

I have a whirlpool model WTW7500GC2, this model comes with a built in water dispenser inside the washer. It's about 3 years old. It was working normal then suddenly it stopped and displayed a LF error code. I turned it off and turned it back on and did a load, the LF error code didn't show but I noticed there were barely any water come out on filling, (took a while to fill) however, i got a normal flow when i used the water dispenser inside the washer. I did some research and I have learned that it could be the inlet valve or the control board is bad. Anyway to check which is bad? Since i got a good flow with the water dispenser inside the washer, is that good enough to assume the inlet valve is working fine?
Thank you.

I'm attaching your tech data sheet below.

LF error code:
Fault is displayed when the water level does not change for a period of time OR water is present but the control does not detect the water level changing.
--->Is water supply connected and turned on?
--->Are hose screens plugged?
--->Is water siphoning out of the drain hose?
--->Check for proper drain hose installation.
--->Low water pressure; fill times longer than 10 minutes.
--->Is the pressure hose connection from the tub to the main control pinched, kinked, plugged, or leaking air?
--->See TEST #2: Valves, page 15.

Here's the water inlet valve for your model:
