Plastic Injector Nozzle

Upon returning from vacation, we needed to do laundry-so I put some plastic under the washer and we did a load. The water was leaking from the seam between the lid and the back panel on the side with the hot and cold water connections- not the front. I removed two screws from the front bottom panel and two screws from the underside of th ...

The rubber injection valve was replaced and installed( using a little liquid soap to help the rubber hose to slip over the rubber injection valve) with a new clamp. The leak was fixed.

Viewed the You Tube video, which was excellent.

removed front panel via two screws near bottom, then lift top to expose water injecter hose. I pulled control knob to activate water fill to verify were it was leaking. Once replaced,I reactivated water fill to verify no leaks.

I rubbed a little grease around the rim of the injector valve so it would slide back into the hose easily into place. I reconnected the hose clamp and started the washer. No more water leak. I connected the bleach filler tube and put the covers back on. I put the washer back into it's place and started washing clothes. Its been two weeks and I haven't seen any water in the floor. This includes about six loads of clothes.

Looked it up on your site , watched the video, odered the part and put it on. Seems to have been the problem because it is not leaking now . Thank You for your prompt service
