Whirlpool front load washer drum filling with water after use.
Followed the installation video instructions. Removed the washer top with a 1/4” nut driver torx bit. Shut off and unhooked the water lines to the washer. Took one screw off of the solenoid valve on the washer back. Removed the water line on the solenoid on the inside with a pair of pliers. Installed the new solenoid in reverse order. It took maybe 10 minutes to take off and replace. Very easy to do.

Would not pump water out at end of cycle.
First you need to remove the water from the machine, a shop vac hooked to the drain line works very well. Next remove the lower front panel ( two screws at bottom corners) and unplug pump. Remove the hose clamps and remove the hoses. Remove the screw at the front of the pump assembly and pull toward you and lift up. Instal new pump in reverse order.

Pump not draining the water out.
First I made sure the washer was unplugged from the outlet and I took out 3 screws that held the front panel and removed it to get access to the pump.
I disconnected the electrical plug to the pump and there were 3 phillips head screws that held the pump in place that needed to removed. Pulled out the old pump and slide the new one in it's place with no prorblems. Tighten the 3 screws on and plugged it back in and away we went washing clothes again.

Low water flow into dispenser and washer tub
Super simple repair, videos on this site were spot-on.

1. Turn off water, unplug washer, and disconnect the hoses from the back of the washer.
2. Remove the three T20 torx screws holding on the top of the washer, slide the top back about an inch, and lift off.
3. Remove the T20 torx screw holding the water valve to the back plate of the washer.
4. Using pliers, release the hose clamp on the outlet hose of the valve and slide it down about an inch.
5. Remove the old valve and attach the new one to the outlet hose. Reinstall the hose clamp.
6. Replace the screw that holds the valve to the back plate and reinstall the top of the washer. Reconnect hoses the the washer, turn on water, and plug back the washer back in.
7. Odds are, your water flow has been low for a while and the first cycle is going to flush a good bit of mildew and other gunk into the washer drum. Run a cleaning cycle with about 1/3 cup bleach through the washer prior to using.

Should be good to go!

The inlet valve begins to restrict water flow into the washer based on normal calcium buildup. At a certain point, the washer will start giving an F20 error code indicating it is not getting enough water.
This is a straightforward replacement. Move the washer to an area where you can work on it. Unplug the washer from the wall. Turn off the water and disconnect the hot and cold water hoses at the washer. Remove the back of the washer. Slide out the top of the washer. Remove the small hose from the valve to the remainder of the washer. Disconnect the two control wires to the valve. Replace the valve. Replace the small water hose. Reconnect the wires. Replace the top and back of the washer. Connect the water back up. Plug in and try a test load. The water should flow fast enough to reach the back of the machine.

I was getting a sewer smell when the washer drained I did every cleaning technique and didn't solve the problem then I cleaned the inside drain hose and that helped so I replaced the hose and problem solved.
I removed the back panel to access the top end of the hose then I removed the lower front panel to access the lower end of the hose that attaches to the pump. The hose is secured with spring clamps and they were removed with pliers, the panels are secured with screws.

I replaced the hose and reinstalled the panels and I was done.
