Dear sirs, when the tub begins the fill cycle there is a leak at the connection between the fill hose(cold) and inlet valve. The hose and washer are in good condition. Could the inlet valve be causing the leak? Thank you in lodi, ca

I need help trying to figure out what part I need for my washer. It continues to fill up with water and not stop. It flooded my wash room. I have to turn off the water to the washer to make it stop but only the cold water. Can you please help me? Thank you.
For model number WT1101CW
Hi Dessie, Thank you for the question. I suggest changing the valve assembly. Sounds like the cold port is stuck open and the valve will need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

My washing machine overflowed. The water is going into the tub even when the washer is off. I checked the solenoids on the water inlet valve, and all showed continuity. Could the inlet valve still be bad even if all solenoids showed continuity?
For model number WT1101cw
Hello Dan, thank you for your question. If the water is coming into the tub when the washer is off the valve would be the issue. It is possible that the valve testing is off. We would recommend starting the unit and unplugging it from the wall while it fills. If the water continues to come in, the valve needs to be replaced. I hope this helps.

Water will not shut off in the rinse cycle, even if I hit pause it still fills. Even with washer off water still fills. FYI I just replaced the water inlet valve assembly and it still does this. If you can help thanks
For model number WT1001CW
Hello Rick, Thank you for the question. If the new valve did not fix the issue, this could be a Pressure Switch Assembly Sensor issue. I looked up the part and it is listed as No Longer Available/Discontinued sorry. There are 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!

There is very little hot water. I checked the hoses and they’re ok. This didn’t used to happen. Machine is 2 years old or so
For model number Wt1701cw
Hi Howard, thank you for your question. The first part to test would be your water inlet valve. The valve has two solenoids that control either the dispenser or the ice maker. Even if your dispenser is working the ice maker solenoid may not be and vise versa. The valve can be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 500 - 1500 ohms of resistance. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

My earlier question may have contained an erroneous error; the temp varies some 10 degrees F. on both HOT and WARM cycles with the temperature ranging from mid 60-mid 70 degrees and never getting any hotter than that. Is it likely to be the valve assembly or PCB?
For model number WT1501CW
Hello Bruce, Thank you for your inquiry. You can test the water inlet valve with a multimeter to see if it has continuity. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, we have videos available to assist you. Check the board for any visible damage or loose connections. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!

Water overflow in washer basin
I diagnosed by running a full wash. I watched it and when the water should have stopped it kept running. I unplugged the washer from the power and the water kept running. This told me the inlet valve was the issue and not an electronic issue. I stopped the water by closing the water valve manually. Replacing the inlet valve was very easy. Hardest part is moving the washer out of the laundry room. The videos online show very simple steps. Maybe 8 screws to remove and a couple of hoses and five electronic connectors. Take a photo of connectors before removing them to ensure you reconnect properly.

Washer Hot water valve did not shut off ever
After getting the model info from the back of the washer control panel, I searched Partselect for the water valve part. Easy process, It was here in 2 days. Unplug the machine, I took 2 screws out of the back of the control console and tipped it forward to reveal the valve assy. Turn off the water at the wall and disconnect the hot and cold lines from the washer . I removed the 3 screws holding the valve assy to the deck and with pliers disconnected the 2 clamped rubber lines and then with just finger pressure wiggled the valve from the remaining pipe connections. I swapped the 5 wire connectors to the new valve and wiggled it back into place. Clamped the 2 rubber lines again. and then connected the water inlet hoses to the new valve. Closed it up and called the laundry lady ( sorry honey) 30 minutes to Household harmony again!!

The old water assembly valve split on the bottom and started leaking.
After unplugging the washer I cut the water off. I took the water hoses off, then the back top panel using a phillips head screw driver. I then used a pair of pliers to take off the two hoses and clamps. I unplugged the electric connection on each solenoid, took out 5 screws replaced the part and did everything in reverse order. Problem solved. Thanks for the fast service on my order.

Water leaking into drum
Figured out how to remove the top door and the top panel that covered the solenoid bank. That was the hardest part. Swapping out the solenoid bank and the connector was easy. No more water leaking.

VERY FAST shipping, SMOOTH transaction!
The part was an exact replacement for what was needed. Website navigation was no problem and part selection was very easy. Standard shipping was incredibly fast to Southeastern U.S., and the part was packaged well. I was unsure about ordering from PartSelect until I read through what seemed like hundreds of positive reviews. With VERY FAST shipping and an overall SMOOTH TRANSACTION I highly recommend PartSelect.
