This part features two valves, each with their own respective wire terminals. When replacing this inlet valve, needle-nose pliers, a socket wrench, and screwdriver will be needed, as well as some disassembly of your washing machine.

If this speed sensor is damaged or bad, it will cause your washer drum to rotate too quickly, slowly, or inconsistently. Replacing this sensor will require a screwdriver and some minor disassembly of your washing machine.

SPRING CLUTCH
Part #WH01X24434
Grinding, vibration, or poor basket movement can point to a damaged clutch spring, but other drive-system faults may cause the same symptoms. The spring helps the clutch engage during agitation and spinning. First inspect nearby pulleys, the belt, clutch surfaces, and mounting points for damage. Match the replacement to the full appliance model because similar springs may differ in length and tension. Disconnect electrical power and water before opening the washer, stabilize the cabinet, and wear eye protection when handling the spring. After reassembly, run an empty test cycle and stop if unusual noise continues.

How do i get to the recirculation tube
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Ray, Thank you for your question. You will need to remove the tub assembly to have easy access to the tube, first pull the washer away from the wall and locate the two screws at the back of the washer -- one on each side -- that secure the control console to the top of the machine. With a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws. From the back of the washer, grasp the console on both sides and move it forward one-half inch. After that you will be able to see the re circulation pump and the tube with it. Hope this helps!

Would not drain the water from the tub.

  • Micheal from South Bend, IN
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Socket set
Very simple to repair. Be sure to drain the tub outside or into the sump pump then lay the washer on its side. The pump is right there on the bottom of the basket with 3 bolts. You will also need to remove the belt cover to get to the plug. So simple and saves you hundreds off repair man prices.

  • Nutdriver, Pliers
Removed the control panel back plate cover. Removed the 3 screws that held the water control valve in place. I then unplugged each solenoid one at a time and plugged it into the new control valve. Once all wires were transferred, I pulled the old valve up and put the new valve on. Then reinstalled the screws that held it down and reinstal led the cover plate. Very simple job !
