This is a water inlet valve which is used in washing machines. The valve controls and monitors the flow of water into the washer. It has a multi-mount bracket and outlet adaptor. The tools needed for this repair are: a 5/16 nut driver, 1/4 nut driver, and a small flat blade screwdriver. If cold water does not flow into washer, or the washing machine will not fill with hot water, replacing the valve can be the solution. To gain access to the water valve, locate the back of the washer and remove the hot and cold hoses, as well as the whole assembly. Next, remove the four wires and loosen up the clamp. After removing the old valve, replace it with the new one and reconnect the wires and hose. Remember to disconnect the washer from the power source before starting this project.

My washer fills slowly with cold water when it is not on. If I put my finger under the rim inside the tub, it is wet. I've got the problem under control by turning off the cold water at source when not in use, but I'd like to fix it, if possible!
For model number A712
Hi Lucy, Thank you for the question. This would be an issue with the Water Inlet Valve, PartSelect Number: PS1583805. The valve can become stuck open and allow water to leak info the tub when not in use. Hope this helps!

Hello, the warm and hot water fill for wash cycles but no cold water for the wash and rinse cycles. I removed some sediment in the screens but still no cold water. Cold water flows through the fill hoses...thanks!
For model number A482
Hi Todd,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like the cold water solenoid might be broken on your valve. You can test the part to see if that is the case, but it sounds like you will need to replace your valve. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I have no selection of water mixture. I only have warm/cold. When i switch it to any of the others like hot/warm, cold/cold etc the water just trickles in. What could be the problem?
For model number A9400
Hello Rich, Thank you for the question. This sounds like an issue with the temperature Switch, PartSelect Number PS2017425. I looked up the part and it is listed as No Longer Available/Discontinued. There is no part substitutions listed. My suggestion here would be to call the manufacturer and see if they can provide you with a substitution for these part numbers. Hope this helps!

Washing machine leaks water onto floor, but only when warm water is used. Does not leak water on cold/cold cycle.
For model number A512
Hi Tom, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking for any kinks/damages to the hoses and tightening any loose connections. If that does not help, then the issue is most likely related to the water inlet valve, part number PS1583805. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Fills with water on wash cycle but doesn’t fill with water on rise cycle. Any suggestions?
For model number MVWC360AW0
Hello Dennis, thank you for writing. This could be a result of not enough water pressure. If the water pressure is adequate, try cleaning the screens inside the water inlet valve hose connection ports. If the washer still fills slowly, replace the water inlet valve. Hose Washer Screen Kit PartSelect Number PS1803069. Washer Water-Level Pressure Switch Hose PartSelect Number PS11741846. We hope this helps.
While the tub is filling water runs out of the crack between the cabinet and the top in the left rear corner right above the water inlet valve.
For model number LAT9593AAW
Hi David, thank you for your question. It sounds like you might want to inspect your valve to see if it is broken or if the hoses that attach to it are broken and need to be replaced. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Cold water valve only opened to a trickle
I started by unplugging the appliance and then shut off the hot and cold water faucets then I disconnected and drained the hoses. Next, I removed the two screws that held the valve assembly in place. I then pulled the assembly out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wire plugs. The last step was to loosen the hose clamp on the outlet hose and pull off the outlet hose. I reversed the steps to install the new assembly and the total repair took about 10 minutes.

washer filled with water even when OFF.
Followed your directions and it went very easy. Only took maybe 30 mins. I was impressed with your trouble shooting and inst!!!!
I moved wash machine away from wall and unplugged from wall outlet. Shut off water, then removed hot and cold water lines from water inlet valve,removed screw from mounting plate and removed valve from wash machine. Checked to see if replacement valve was compatible (exact fit). Unscrewed the two screws holding valve to mounting plate,unscrewed hose clamp and removed water line at top of valve (outlet). Removed the four wires from solinoids.Replaced the four wires onto the new valve as they were on the old valve,reattached water line onto the top of valve and tightened.Reattached valve to mount plate with the two screws and mounted back onto machine. Hooked up hot and cold water lines back onto valve and snugged with pliers. Turned on water checked for leaks (no leaks), and did a load of laundry. Super simple,well worth doing yourself.

Cold water would not flow into the washer
After verifying that the supply wasn't the problem, I ordered the replacement inlet valve module.
1) shut off water to machine 2) removed the hose connections from the valve 3) unplugged the washer 4) removed the plate holding the module - 1 screw 5) removed the hose clamp from the valve module to the washer inlet 6) removed the two screws holding the valve module to the plate 7) removed the 2 wire connections to each of the two solenoids. 8) Reversed all of the steps above for the new valve module. 9) checked for leaks

cold water barely flows, hot is ok
These Maytag people know how to build stuff. I was impressed with this valve. Built really smart. After a gazillion years (about 16 or so) the valve started making a funny groaning noise and the cold water flow was very slow. Took about 15-20 minutes to fill the tub.
the inlet valve is located on the back of the washer where the hoses are connected. In fact the hose connectors are part of the valve.
To replace this valve, start by unplugging and turning off the water spigots, unscrew the two hoses from the valve. (you need a towel here, but that'll be obvious soon enough.)
Unscrew the single screw at the top of the valve bracket (the bottom of the bracket is held in place without screws.) Remove the screw holding on the sheet metal and pull the bracket out as far as you can without stretching things. Write down what colors of wire are connected, then pull off the electrical connectors.
The valve outlet is a skinny (compared to the inlet hoses) rubber hose that has a clamp to hold it in place. The clamp needs to be loosened with a 3/16" nutdriver a plier would probably work, but may be hard to get in there. Now slide the clamp further up on the hose, dislodge the rubber hose off of the old valve. Now it's free.
Reverse the steps. Believe it or not, that is all. It works great and this washer probably has another 10 year left in it.

No hot water
Went on the PartSelect website, input the problem, and got the Water Inlet Valve as the diagnosis. When the part arrived, I viewed the short video on replacing the Water Inlet Valve and just followed the instructions. It could not have been easier. After turning off both the hot and cold water and pulling the plug from the wall socket, I removed the screw holding the bracket and valve to the machine; removed the 2 screws holding the valve to the bracket; removed the wire harness ends from each solenoid on the valve; replaced the valve with the new one and reattached the wire harness, followed by reattaching the bracket to the valve, and assembling to the machine.

Water inlet valve failed
Disconnect the water lines. Remove two screws that hold the water valve to the back of the machine. Pull the water valve out and remove the panel that holds it on to the machine. Remove the water line from the valve to the wash tub. Remove the four wires from the valve remembering where each one goes on the new unit. Attach the valve to tub hose to the new unit. Attach the four wires in the proper order to the new unit . Screw the metal holding panel on to the valve. Push the unit in place and reattach with the two screws. Attach the water lines and use the machine. Remember to unplug the machine prior to changing the valve

The fill cycles would start then stop suddenly
This was an easy repair. 1st I removed both water hoses 2nd I removed 1 hex head screw that released a backing plate & removed the plate holding the water inlet valve. 3rd I pulled the 4 electrical connections & loosened a clamp to remove a small water hose. 4th I removed 2 hex head screws that held the water valve to the backing plate. -----------that was a whole 5 - 10 minutes!------------ Next I reversed the process 4th I attached the inlet valve with the 2 hex head screws 5th re-attached the 4 electrical connections(had slip on spades) pushed on the hose & tighterned the clamp. 6th replaced the backing plate with the inlet valve attached & tightened the single hex head screw. 7th re-attached the hot & cold lines................................DONE 15 minutes tops
Of couse, turn off water to machine. Remove hoses. Then had to open unit - easiest by popping spring in with flat blade in seam under lid. Screws holding valve are on back of unit at hose inlet, so simply unscrew to remove failed valve. Clamp holding hose onto valve is crimped with pliers to remove. I suggest spending the 50 cents a hardware store for new clamp, as my reattachment of existing clamp onto new value leaked. There are four electrical connectors, so remember order in which you removed them and return to same on new unit. Reassemble in reverse (hoses, water on) and your all set. Pretty easy: I figure it would be about $200 for service guy and part. My cost: $30 and 30 minutes

Water inlet valve for Maytag cloths washer
The inlet valve was exactly as described and easily installed. I watched an online video prior to the installation which made the procedure even easier. Took me about 20 minutes to move the washer away from the wall, remove the old and install the new, reconnect the water lines, and move the washer back into position.

My vintage Maytag washer is back!
My washer started dripping into the tub when not in use. I started shutting off the water at the faucet. One busy week I forgot to do this and the tub filled with water and leaked onto the floor. This was an easy repair. Do unplug the washer first. We didn't and blew the gfci and an internal glass fuse in the washer. Once the fuse was replaced, everything worked great.

yup.
The part was the right one, in perfect condition, came pretty fast, and my good old washing machine now works like new. I have one no two questions. Do these parts wear out or get clogged up regularly? Is this particular part still being manufactured? My installer (former plumber) said the part in my machine that wasn't working was full of grit and that maybe I should buy another one just in case. Whaddaya think? Pennelope
