Replacement was good..
Washer still leaks......apparently they say I don’t have enough water pressure to have the valve work correctly.
Sooooo
I didn’t need to replace the valve.......was working right the whole time.
$100.00 you could say down the drain

Correct part but overpriced
The part was what I ordered and it was received in a timely manner. It fit my washer as i expected and was easy to replace. The only complaint that I have is the purchase price. I ordered the same part form another site just to see if they were comparable, which they were. I paid over $100.00 (including shipping and handling) from PartSelect, but I paid less than $20.00 for the same part from the other site (including tax and shipping). I understand that as a business you must make a profit, but a 500% markup is a bit much.
Sincerely,
Mike

New water splitter valve
I am 72 years old and a little mechanical. The job was easy with my repair man on the phone to help me. Your instructions were good but you forgot to tell me to push the valve sideways before putting the screw in. I had to attach the hoses to have enough leverage to push in sideways and to not hurt the threads with a tool.
The part solved the problem

Washing machine was repaired within minutes and is functioning properly again. Even the diagnosis tool was excellent as I have no experience with repairing washing machines but your site helped me trouble shoot the issue, order the parts (and receive in a couple of days) and replace the defective pieces in minutes.

Turned off power, turned off water supply, removed water supply hoses, removed top of washer, photographed electrical connections, removed intake hose, removed screw from part to the machine and removed valve and replaced. Reverse order to install new part and test water supply.

Failing inlet valve allowed water accumulation when off
Easiest repair on 2003 front loading washer. This unit cleverly uses star tool machine screws with a hex head so you can pick your favorite tool. Turn off the water supply. Remove the hot and cold hoses at the inlet valve, draining any water into a small bucket. Have a towel for dribbles. *This is a good time to examine the hoses and repl
... Read moreace them if they are anything other than perfect. Burst or leaking hoses is the #1 cause of water damage in homes.* Three screws releases the top cover which slides 1/2 inch back and lifts off easily. Remove one screw securing the inlet valve (same size screw as the others). Pull the old inlet valve away from the rear panel for easier access. Remove the 4 wires from the solenoids (they pull straight off but maybe need a little finesse), and re-attach to the new inlet valve. Using pliers, release the hose clamp on the old valve sliding it down a couple of inches, then move the hose to the new valve and reposition the hose clamp. Toss the old inlet valve in the trash, screw the new one in place, replace the top panel, reattach and hand-tighten your hoses, turn on the water, look for any leaks, and go have a three martini lunch with the money and time you saved.

I find water in the drum after a few days of non use
Removed the three screws in the back took off the top and swamped out the part. I recommend that the inlet valve is checked periodically by removing the hoses to see if there's any build up on the filter.

Water was leaking in tub after cycle was finished , so much when a new cycle started it had to drain before it would even start .
turned off water valves , disconnected and placed hoses into small bucket . removed top . I then removed screw off old valve , shimmied it out of the hole , removed hose with pliers , slipped off white set of plugs and then black set .. Then I put hose on new valve , placed plugs ( black & white ones ) be sure to mark the correct side ..
... Read more for me two white were on the right side of valve and black on left side .. placed valve back into its respective spot . attached the screw .. note I sled mine to the right just a bit and all lined up perfectly . Attached hoses , ran test cycle on warm , cold , hot .. All hoses were hooked up correctly and leak free . put lid back on and perfect .. The hardest part , was moving the shelves above my washer , really was super simple . Watch the video twice. You will be able to do it in no time. Saved me 245$ . From my appliance shop the part 150.$ 100 service call and the install fee $ since the install was so easy couldn't be much but .. Its a guesstimate ..You can do it !
Simple repair. #20 Torx, pair of pliers and 10 minutes to complete the job. Part was exact fit.

For model number GHW9400PW0
Hello Terrill, Thank you for the question. The Error code indicates an issue with the water filling. I suggest checking the water pressure to the appliance. If the pressure is good, you may have a defective water valve,PartSelect Number: PS11744913. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!

When asking for cold wash and rinse cycle the washer fills with hot water. Could this be a temp sensor, fill valve or user input control board? Thank you for your response

Tub very slowly fills with water after it is used and clothes removed. In a few days it is full to overflowing. Is this almost certainly the water inlet valve or is there another part which might be causing this. Is there some way to be sure before I order or can I return the part if it does not fix the problem?
For model number GHW9150PW0
Hello David , Thank you for the question. This is a common issue with a defective Water Inlet Valve. You can turn the power off to the appliance but leave the water lines connected to the Valve. If it continues to fill, the valve will nee to be replaced. We hope this helps!

I just replaced my water inlet valve with a new one purchased from you. Now my washer will not turn on. Will a faulty water inlet valve keep the washer from turning on?
For model number GHW9100LW1
Hi Allen,
Thank you for your question. The water inlet valve should not effect your machine getting power to your control boards. You may want to check the wiring to make sure you have plugged everything back in the right places. If that is not it, you may want to look at having a look at your door latch or your flow meter. I hope this helps. Good luck with your repair.
