Short-Tubed Water Inlet and Dispenser Valve without Sensor 134371210

This repair was pretty simple. Unplug washer from electrical outlet and remove hoses. This is a good time to replace the hoses. Removed two screws at the back of the washer to remove the top of the washer. This exposed the faulty valve assembly. Disconnect the three connections. There are two screws holding this part in place. The top one is easy to remove, the bottom one is a little more difficult due to access. Remove plastic retainer plate on back of washer. Remove faulty valve assembly. There are two rubber grommets/gaskets that will need to be removed from the faulty part and installed on the new part. Slide new assembly into place. Secure with the two screws. Replace retainer plate. Reattach power connections. Reattach hoses and finally Reinstall top of washer. Total time was right around 30 minutes.

After getting a quote for $140 for a repair, I decided to try ordering online and hope for the best. I am delighted to say it was incredibly easy! All I had to do was remove the broken valve by unscrewing the water hoses with a wrench and remove two screws that held the valve on with a screw driver. Next, I popped in the new piece, replaced the screws with the screwdriver and attached the hoses, then tightened them with the wrench. Very easy! 10 minutes total.

first removed top of machine. removed 3 valve core wires set. Then removed left top screw on valve. Then removed vent tube to get to lower right screw. disconnected hose connect rack so valve housing could be removed & new installed. Rapped insulation around valve & installed. Put everything back together in reverse order.

Took the top off the washer, removed the valve, installed the new one, back in buisness. It was so easy to order the part, and have the repair done in no time.

Close examination revealed cracked plastic inlet area. I removed top of machine any carefully was able to loosen an pull damaged (froze over the winter) part back to remove. Attachment screws difficult to access, had to use magnetic screwdriver attachment during reassembly. Always iffy when working with plastic parts.
