11045966401 Kenmore Washer - Instructions

My hubby and I replaced the part in about 20 minutes, including moving the washing machine. We love doing household projects like this. We're a great team and putting in this part showed how good we work together. Thanks for the quick response too!

Shut water off to washer, unhook hoses, removed back panel of washer, removed screw that holds the valve in place then unhooked the water line that connects to the washer and removed part. Place new inlet valve in position and hooked hoses and mounted it in place, put back panel back on and hooked hoses up and turned water on. Did a test wash and it worked

When I looked at the website for latch repair they showed a video (can't remember which brand but not Amana) where you had to take off the top and front of the washer to get at the latch part on the washer. For the Amana I had, you simply had to pull out a portion of the rubber gasket held onto the washer by a wire/spring combination (you can take the wire off) to get at the latch assembly. You could then undo the three screws holding the latch to the washer, pull it out and unplug the three wiring connections to remove the old latch. Then plug connections into the new latch, reinstall, tighten screws and fit gasket and wire/spring assembly back together. Much easier than going thru the top and front of the washer!

REMOVE HOSES AND POWER PLUG REATTACH EVERYTHING AND THEN DONE.

Turn water off at the inlet valve of hose you are replacing. Disconnect inlet hose the washer and let water drain out in a bucket. Then remove old hose. Replace new hose to inlet valve then washer . Use pliers to tighten both ends. Turn on water to check leaks at both ends of hose.

so easy!!three screws to take top off,one screw held valve in take hose off then install new part and reverse take apart order and done!!!Would have been sick if had to pay service call for such a easy fix!! Mike

Unplug machine,remove three screws that hold on top cover.
Unplug latch switch assembly,then open front door of washing machine, remove three screws which hold latch
switch. Install in reverse order.

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

This was an easy fix . PartSelect was quick and had all the info I needed to repair my washer. Plus shipping was super fast. Thanks

I ordered the part, followed the instructions listed on appliance help and put it in... easy

First I want to acknowledge Parts Select for their prompt delivery(received parts in less than two days)and their unbeatable prices(approximately 1/3 less than two local appliance repair/parts shops). Repair was straight forward a simple swap of the pump and I saved quite a few dollars.Thanks Parts Select.Any future appliance parts needs will be purchased here.

I removed the top 3 screws on the rear, removed soap dispenser, removed screw in front corner at soap dispenser,pry off control panel with flat head screwdriver lay on top, removed spring around bellows at door opening, remove 4screws holding door assembly, disconnect 3 molded plugs serving door lock, you will need to hold door while you loosen bellows clamp.Reverse process note: soap dispenser tube can be removed to clean without any tools. It is some much easier when you remove the front door assembly.T-20 torx screwdriver, 9/32 socket Theirs a you tube video also.ghw

Very limited access to the bellow clamp. Found it easier to first remove washer front panels (8 screws total), providing ready access to R&R the bellow. 40 minutes tops.

removed top cover,disconnected wires to valve,removed valve and hooked up a washer hose to test valve,one side was leaking,valve would not close.replaced with new valve that I received in 2 days,do not buy after market.

Pulled washer away from wall, unplugged power from outlet, shut off water valves and removed hosed from back of machine. Removed the 3 screws on the back top of washer that holds top on and removed top. Unplugged the 4 wires on the back of the valve, removed the screw that holds the valve in place, pulled the valve out so I could remove the hose clamp and hose from the valve. I then reversed the operation. It is really pretty simple.
