Product Description
This Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve Assembly lets the hot and cold water into your washing machine and distributes it around to the dispensers. If the valve is leaking or the solenoids are damaged, this part will need to be replaced. Usually, a long or slow fill cycle is often due to a restricted water valve. Please note: The valve should never be disassembled and cleaned, only replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the washer and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also make sure you turn the water supply off to the water and place a towel down when removing the hot and cold fill hoses from the valve. Recommended Item: 10" V-Jaw Tongue & Groove Pliers (item 3527544) V-Jaw increases the number of contact points on the jaw to create a stronger grip. Helpful tip: Consider replacing the old fill hose when installing a new valve (item 1178857).
