This is a water inlet valve which is used in washing machines. The valve controls and monitors the flow of water into the washer. It has a multi-mount bracket and outlet adaptor. The tools needed for this repair are: a 5/16 nut driver, 1/4 nut driver, and a small flat blade screwdriver. If cold water does not flow into washer, or the washing machine will not fill with hot water, replacing the valve can be the solution. To gain access to the water valve, locate the back of the washer and remove the hot and cold hoses, as well as the whole assembly. Next, remove the four wires and loosen up the clamp. After removing the old valve, replace it with the new one and reconnect the wires and hose. Remember to disconnect the washer from the power source before starting this project.

Exact Fit
Part was an exact fit on my 38 year old Maytag washer.
All fasteners, water line hook ups, and electrical connections were a prefect match.

Very easy to replace!
This part was solid like our original piece from a 31 year old Maytag Washer. We could have bought similar on Amazon for less cost, but we wanted to be sure to have a quality part. Funny enough, our problem ended up being a plumbing issue, a faulty Maytag part. We will hold onto the old valve, because we know it’s truly clean now!

Water inlet valve for Maytag cloths washer
The inlet valve was exactly as described and easily installed. I watched an online video prior to the installation which made the procedure even easier. Took me about 20 minutes to move the washer away from the wall, remove the old and install the new, reconnect the water lines, and move the washer back into position.

My vintage Maytag washer is back!
My washer started dripping into the tub when not in use. I started shutting off the water at the faucet. One busy week I forgot to do this and the tub filled with water and leaked onto the floor. This was an easy repair. Do unplug the washer first. We didn't and blew the gfci and an internal glass fuse in the washer. Once the fuse was replaced, everything worked great.

yup.
The part was the right one, in perfect condition, came pretty fast, and my good old washing machine now works like new. I have one no two questions. Do these parts wear out or get clogged up regularly? Is this particular part still being manufactured? My installer (former plumber) said the part in my machine that wasn't working was full of grit and that maybe I should buy another one just in case. Whaddaya think? Pennelope

The washer was making an frightening noise as it attempted to shut off the water
Terrified that the washer water value would blow due to the noise... Diagnosed the problem, ordered the part and it took only 10 minutes to fix. The hardest part was moving the washer in the confined space, which required moving the driver out and sliding the washer at a 45° angle in order to reach the access panel. Once access gained i

Water overflow
The repair itself is fairly simple. However, being 65 years old getting the new valve back into the back opening of the washer and screwed in was a challenge. The clamp on the water connector hose broke and I had to drive to the store to replace it. You may want to consider giving a heads-ups option of ordering hose clamps to DIYers, when

The old inlet valve was not shutting off, causing the washer to overflow
I watched your 'how to' video, then repeated the procedure on my own machine. The repair went pretty much like the video. The new valve corrected the problem, and in fact, fills the washer faster than the old valve. I also replaced the water supply hoses, as one started to leak after I jiggled it around during the repair. Very satisfi

My washer fills slowly with cold water when it is not on. If I put my finger under the rim inside the tub, it is wet. I've got the problem under control by turning off the cold water at source when not in use, but I'd like to fix it, if possible!

Hi Lucy, Thank you for the question. This would be an issue with the Water Inlet Valve, PartSelect Number: PS1583805. The valve can become stuck open and allow water to leak info the tub when not in use. Hope this helps!

Hello, the warm and hot water fill for wash cycles but no cold water for the wash and rinse cycles. I removed some sediment in the screens but still no cold water. Cold water flows through the fill hoses...thanks!
For model number A482
Hi Todd,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like the cold water solenoid might be broken on your valve. You can test the part to see if that is the case, but it sounds like you will need to replace your valve. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
