Worked as exspected
Part arrived as predicted.
On line repair procedure indicated it could be replaced from the top. However, the valve is held on the back wall with screws from the back. In my case this was difficult as the machine was in tight quarters and it was particularly difficult to reinstall the screws. Otherwise it was a quick repair.

No hot water on wash or rinse cycles
I read some stuff on the internet where folks with the same problem replaced the water inlet valve to repair this same problem. So I did the same. However, after I installed the new water inlet valve, the problem was still there. It was at that point I decided not to guess at the what issue was and instead test the components in the wa
... Read moresher. Yes, I am a lazy dumb ass. There are many of us out there. I decided to use a continuity tester to test all components in the hot water fill circuit and determined that the water temperature switch was bad. So I ordered a new switch from Parts Select (they rock - it showed up next day) replaced the water temperature control switch and...walla. fixed!!! Only took about 30 minutes to replace. Lesson learned: Don't be a dumb ass and guess. Test.

tub overflowed
Back of this washer did not remove, so we had to go in through the top--more restricting space. As you remove the old electrical metal contacts (two each of white and red), pay close attention to where they connect properly. Best to mark them so as not to confuse how to place new contacts. Also, we disconnected a white plastic hose on

no cold water
I pulled the top ofthe washer up, I disconnected the cold and hot water hoses, took the 2 bolts off with a socket and pulled the water valve from the top. I used the pliers to take the pressure ring off and pulled over flow hose off. I pulled the four wires off with pliers. Put the new water valve in reverse order...easy.

I have hard water and it ruined the valve so the water would not shut off
Popped the top of the washer up and on the right rear of the washer was the valve. Disconnected the hoses and removed the screws, drop the new valve in and replaced the hoses and it was done. Total time was less then 5 minutes. Any one can do it!

Fill water would not reliably shut off.
Open the top of the washing machine by using a putty knife to release the latches at the right and left side. Prop up the top so it doesn't fall while working. Remove the inlet hoses and put in bucket to catch water. Remove the two screws that hold the inlet valve in place. Remove the wires from the inlet valve. (One of t
... Read morehe spade connectors one wire broke and I had to replace it.) I used needle nose pliers to pull the spade connectors off. Remove the outlet hose. Throw out old valve assembly. Attach hose to new valve assembly. (My old valve assy outlet was slightly smaller in diameter than the new valve, but I was able to get the outlet hose to stretch enough to fit--couldn't use old spring clamp though, but new valve came with a hose clamp--worked fine.) Attach wires same way as they cam off old valve. Position and use the two screws to screw assy back into back of washing machine. (The screws had to tap the holes on the valve, so start out a little hard.) Reattach the inlet hoses and check for leaks. I also ran both the hot and cold in a cycle and the reraised the top to check for any leaks internal to the machine. Pus the top back down to engage its fastening clips. Job done. My washing machine is 23 years old.

water filling up inside washer from a steady drip
First, I unplugged the washer.
then, I used a small prybar to pop open the front top of the waher. It's hinged at the back top edge. I drew a rough sketch of the four color coded connecting wires so I could disconnect the old water inlet valve and replace it the same way with the new one. ( just in case I lost track of wh

I cut off the water supply for both the hot and cold water, (you can also cut off the water main,) then diconnected the supply hoses--noting where the hot water was connected, and where the cold water connected. Maytag had cut out a "C" and a "H" our of the back wall of the washer, to assist with hose installation.
I unscrewed the two hex nuts holding the old inlet valve to the back wall of the washer. ( from the outside back of the machine.) and pulled the old inlet valve up to the top of the machine. I didn't remove the basket that holds the laundry, so it was a kind of tight workspace.
Once you reconnect the wires to the new water inlet valve, attach the inlet valve to the washer wall, and reconnect the hoses, it's done. It's pretty simple.

Water dripped into washer even when off
Hardest part was figuring out how to get to the water valve. Turned out that the way in was from the top. All I had to do is remove two screws at the back of the top panel, and then unclip the front edge of the top panel (use a thin screwdriver to press in on the clips from the front of the machine). From there, it was easy to reach dow

No hot water was making it into the laundry cycle.
First I unplugged the machine, then turned the water supply off in order to disconnect the hoses at the back of the machine. Next I pulled the top up and leaned it back so I could access the water valve at the rear of the machine (You might have to use a screw driver to pry the top off the pins which hold it down in front...). I then un
