I have already ordered this valve. Can you send me directions on how to get to part and replace it?
For model number WTW5100HW1
Hello Melissa, thank you for contacting us. To replace the water inlet valve, please go through all these steps:
1. Unplug the washer.
2. Shut off the water supply.
3. The inlet valve is often located on the bottom of the appliance, near the front. You can reach the component by removing one or more panels.
4. The water inlet valve uses a mounting plate and screws to secure the valve to a bracket panel or frame; one or more wire connectors will need to be disconnected from the solenoid terminals for the dishwasher.
5. The inlet hoses are usually secured with clamps that will need to be loosened in order to remove the hoses. Inlet valves on dishwashers will often have an elbow fitting that connects the water supply line to the valve.
6. Then, slide the hoses onto the ports and secure them with an appropriate clamp. If the dishwasher uses an elbow fitting to connect the water supply line, you should wrap Teflon tape clockwise around the threads of the elbow before threading it into the valve, and connect the wire connector or connectors to the solenoid terminals, thread the mounting screw or screws to secure the inlet valve to the bracket panel or frame. With the new water inlet valve installed, replace any access panels, control housing, or covers as necessary. Attach the inlet water lines as required. Turn the water supply back on.
7. Plug the power cord back in or restore the power supply, and your appliance should be ready for use.
We hope this information is useful!

Pushed in on door strike and rotated it counterclockwise, removed broken strike and installed new strike. NOTE: when removing the old strike (turning counterclockwise) it felt like it might break and/or was attached with an screw that I didn't see but it came right out.
