This is an inlet valve for models of compatible washing machines. Inlet valves are electrically controlled solenoid valves that open and close as needed during the washing cycle, to allow water into the washer. If the inlet valve has failed in your washer, you will likely see an error code or your washer simply will not start due to its failure, and it may even begin to leak water into your washer tub, and will need to be replaced immediately. 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. This inlet valve is an OEM part that does not come sold with any other parts or accessories.

Customer Repair Stories

Water flowed into the washer all the time, even if unplugged

I removed the back panel at he top of the washer, then remover the two screws that hold the top control panel in place. Then I removed the three screws that held the water valve in place. I removed the valve from the water ports and then disconnected the four electrical connectors. I plugged in the new valve and plugged the valve back into the water ports. Reinstalled the screws, control panel and the back panel. Very easy repair, anyone could do it!

Water was dripping into the detergent tray when the unit was off.

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 reinstalled the cover plate. Very simple job !

Customer Repair Stories

Would not drain the water from the tub.

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.
