Inlet valve leaking intermittently into washer after finished
Fairly simple to do, turn off the water, unplug machine, remove top three bolts at back top of washer, slide cover off, unscrew the supply hoses from inlet valve at top (watch for drips from water in each hose), remove one screw holding valve, use pliers to loosen interior valve hose from valve, pull the two colored electric connectors fr om the valve, pull out valve from inside top of machine, slide the new one in. Reverse the tasks: screw new valve in, plug in the two electric connectors, put interior hose back on, screw on supply hoses snug at back, slide top cover back on, tighten the three bolts, turn water back on at the valves, slide washer back in place, plug washer back in. About 15-20 minutes, tops. Depending of course on how much you have to pull the washer out from its location to get at the fittings. Worked like a charm, new valve works great.
