exact replacement
This valve is an exact replacement for the water inlet valve of my old Hotpoint (G.E.) WLW3500BNL washer. New valve has 4 tab type connectors to receive the 4 wires from the washing machine just like the old valve.

Part arrived on time with no damage to packaging or to the part.
Part is a direct fit for the defective part, meaning tube size, hose attachment and push on terminals are all the same size as on the original making for an easy part swap.

Washer not filling with cold water
I emptied the washer and unplugged it from the wall. Then i pulled it out so I could get behind it. Next unscrewed the water hoses from the washer. Removed the plate holding the water inlet valve by unscrewing 2 screws holding it to the machine (I used Vise Grip/pliers). Note which side of plate goes up/outward so you can put it bac
... Read morek on! Removed 2 more screws that hold the valve to the plate. Remove clamp from valve end to disconnect valve from tubing with a screwdriver. I was able to remove the tubing with a twisting motion even though my washer is way over 10 years old. Remove 4 electrical clips from the valve by pulling them out, (REMEMBER the order of the electrical wires!!). Install new valve by doing this in reverse. Then run test cycle, success and saved hundreds of dollars!

Hot water would not pour out at normal rate.
This was a very easy repair. First I unpluged the 120VAC power cord. Then I turned the water off. Next I opened the hose connections. Then I removed 3 screws from the back which exposed the Inlet Valve. I removed the old valve taking note of where the wires went. Then I installed the new one. It took less than 10 minutes!

The valve the controls hot water coming into the washer no longer passed hot water through.
I looked up the part on line, ordered it and installed. Veru easy since the part that needed repair was right out in the open.

no/very little hot water coming into the washer
Took the back cover off 6 screws, took the inlet valve off the mounting plate 2 screws, the vater valve off the mounting plate 2 screws, and disconnected the inlet valve clamp from the inlet hose to the washer. In reassembling reversed the process. Best part; G.E. was going to charge me $59.00 for the valve, and I got it for $16.10 ship

Washing machine tub would not fill up on rinse cycle.
Replaced the water control valve (the thing the washer hoses connect to on the back of the washer) There were 3 bolts that had to be removed and once the part was loose, there were four wires attached, I disconnect each wire from the old part and reconnected to the new part at the same time to keep from getting the wires mixed up. Then I

The valve wouldn't let the cold water in.
I changed the Water Inlet Valve in less than 15 minutes. The valve fit exactly, and the water hoses fit right on. I turned on the water and the washer filled without hesitation. The cost was 15.00, this beat the 62.00 price I was given by GE for the part alone.

valve was stuck open
This is the second time I have replaced this part. This time, I knew exactly what to do...the first time took longer. We have hard water here and also sediment in the water. Over time, the valve will not shut off the water.
Shutting off the water and unplugging the machine, and opening the back of the washer (every screw was th
... Read moree same size, thankfully. I didn't have to change socket sized) First I removed the two screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and then I unscrewed the hose clamp and I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires one at a time. I reconnected each one as I disconnected it from the old one. That way I knew I had it attached to the correct post. Reconnected the hose and reclamped it. Then I reattached the unit back into the washer and rescrewed everything back in place. The washers, I put in the end of the hoses before reattaching to the faucets. Attached the hoses to the machine and plugged it in the outlet. It has been working ever since! (of course, I knew it would!) This machine is 25 years old and still going strong!
I took the back cover off of the washer, studied my next move and jumped in.Easy Lou-eezee!

Water fills completely up. Will this part solve my problem? It will not stop on low or med.
For model number PS270305
Hi Roger,
Thank you for your question. If the washer will not stop filling with water, then the water inlet valve should resolve this issue. You should also check the water level and pressure switch to see which part is causing the issue. You will need to test the parts with a multimeter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. There is also information on our website under free repair help that you may reference for information on how to test these parts. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!
