The unspoken bits......
The Good - No issues with the part; it was the correct one and installed easily into its place.
The Not So Good - The instructional video conveniently omitted the fact that this washer is often paired with a dryer......, stacked on top......., and the washer innards can not be accessed until the dryer is first removed. Oh, and said stacked washer/dryer combo is likely to be installed into a tight space, ie, a laundry nook; not a spacious faux workshop. Thus, the 'easy' one man job was in my reality a two person job requiring some muscle and logistics. Hands down the most difficult aspect of the repair.
The Surprisingly Annoying - The FedEx delivery took an unexpectedly, amazingly long time to deliver the part. The much maligned USPS could have shipped the part to, back and to my house again in the time it took.

Great part. Easy repair. Took less than10 minutes total
Part came quickly and was the correct replacement. Replacing the part itself was quick and easy - about 2 minutes. Getting to it and then replacing those items took a few minutes longer. Watch the video that comes with the part order confirmation. Very well explained and easy to follow. Makes the repair so much simpler.

Didn't fix my problem.
I can't really review the part. It didn't fix my issue. I ordered the next 2 parts suggested. Hopefully one of them fix the problem.

stripped the threads on the water inlet
Be careful threading the hose to the water inlet or you can end up cross threading or stripping the threads, they are plastic and can easily be stripped. It will save you time and $. Unscrew the top of the washer and remove it. Removed a weirdo screw with a pair of pliers since I didn't have the tool to remove it. Took
