Water Inlet Valve - Hot
-
Product Description
The hot water valve is found at the back of your washer and controls the flow of hot water into the machine. If the valve is defective, the washer may leak, overfill, fill slowly, or not fill with water at all. If this happens the valve should be replaced. There are a couple different methods for testing if your hot water valve is defective. The first is to use a multimeter on the solenoid, the second is to unplug the washer while it is running. If water continues to flow into the machine, then the valve is defective. This genuine OEM part has a standard hose fitting inlet, one water outlet, and measure approximately 3 inches long by 3 inches wide. To complete this repair, you will need to disconnect the water and power supply to your washer and pull it out from the wall so you can access the back panel.

Step 2. Removed rear plate from top control panel.
Step 3. Tilted control panel forward to unhook from washer lid in order to access valves extending up from bottom section. Removed valve retaining plate from washer lid. Online videos showed models with front controls, however our model has the control panel integrated with the water vales on the top back of the machine.
Step 4. Removed all wiring harnesses. Since cold valve had 4 harnesses, marked each with location.
Step 5. Used pliers to move hose clamps off of old valves.
Step 6. Marked each hose with masking tape and valve location since cold valve uses 4 hoses. Wiggled hoses off valves.
Step 7. Installed new valves, reattached hoses and wiring harnesses. Inserted valves into retaining plate and reattached to washer. Replaced top control panel module on top of washer.
Step 8. Replaced washer hoses using teflon tape at fill valve box.
Step 9. Restored water and checked for leaks. Returned washer into location. Had to tighten hot water connection slightly. Plugged in and ran quick cycle to test.
