Scratches in Surface
This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

Both outside door handles turned very beige
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

Fabric Softener dispenser would not drain out
Replaced the Whirlpool washer water inlet valve.
1. Unplug washer
2. Close Hot and Cold water valves
3. Remove top cover of the machine by taking out 3 screws in the top back. Slide top back and remove.
4. Water Inlet Valve is located on the back left side, remove tubing using a nutdriver to loosen the hose clamps.
5. Water Inlet Valve is removed by removing the screw in the back of the valve and turning the valve clockwise a little.
Replace with the new one, connect hoses, put cover back on, open valves, plug it in.

It took two of us to hold the ring and slide it on around the opening with the assistance of screwdrivers the spring was very tight
Two people to screwdrivers, stretching the spring out and around and that’s the last part to go on

PARTSSELECT IS THE PROBLEM
I asked PS if I purchase from them, will I get the new version level sensor or the old version in a sealed bag that has the new number on the bag.
They guaranteed I would get the newest version level sensor inside of the bag. I had this problem with the past 3 vendors) So i spent double the $ to purchase from them. it arrived, bag had new part # inside was the OLD PART numbered item! The would not respond! The link for the install wont work! I just need the newer part and the calibration procedure t make this right or a refund!
