First let me commend PartSelect for their incredibly fast shipping. Ordered on a Thursday and it arrived on Friday!!The repair itself was fast and easy and let me add I had never worked on a washing machine before.1)Unplugged power cord from the wall.2)Turned off hot and cold water at the shutoff valves.3)Disconnected water lines leading to the washer.4)Removed 3 screws holding the bracket assembly on the washer.5)Removed bracket and pulled water inlet valve out a few inches.6)Held new inlet valve in same orientation as the old one and then one by one removed the four electrical wires from the old solenoids and attached them to the corresponding place on the new inlet valve.7)Put inlet valve back in place, attached bracket, and secured it with the 3 screws.8)Attached water lines to inlet valve and plugged power cord back in.9)Turned water back on at shutoff valve and checked for leaks.I washed a load of clothes after the repair and am happy to report that the hot water now runs in as fast as it did when the machine was new. This washer may be 30 years old but I think the old gal's got some life left in her yet.
