Rubber Injector Valve

Removed the front panel by removing 2 screws near the bottom of the panel, Then removed 2 bolts holding the top panel and lifted the top panel/cover. I turned on the washer to find the source of the leak. Loosened the clamp and Removed the rubber injector valve which had a hole, causing the leak. After receiving the new part, I Insert ...

Turned on the washer to check to verify that the leak was fixed, and then closed the top cover, re-inserted the bolts. Then I re-attached the front cover with its 2 screws.

Well finding information on the problem and getting the parts was not the problem, the problem was that the water valve and Rubber injector Valve were just under the lid of the washing machine, which was just underneath the dryer which had to be removed to remove the washer lid. This was the challenge. But once I figured out that 4 bolt ... Read more s, 2 on each side in the back held the dryer in place over the washer, it was simply a matter of picking the dryer up and setting it on the floor. Then replacing it when the repair was done. If you have help, this will not be such a big deal. I am 62 and had no one around at the time. The repair itself was easy and well outlined on this site webpage and others. There is one nut in each corner that holds the top on. Remove the front panel's two screws at the bottom and you will have access.Your going to pull the two hex nuts off the back plate that holds the connectors for the hot and cold water hoses. That is the Water Inlet Valve. Pull it through and up so you can remove the two hoses, and then unplug the upper and lower wire connectors. I marked them so I would remember but probably not necessary. I also elected to change the injector valve and injector sleeve bracket, for less then 10 bucks I did not want to be back at this thing in a few months. After you get the new parts on, push the water valve back to the rear and re attach the mounting plate, then nut that plate back to the rear of the washer. Then its just a matter of getting the dryer back on top. Take the opportunity to clean all the dust out of both parts to avoid any risk of fire. Been up and running a couple weeks now and no more issues. Less than $50 fix much better than spending another 1200 on new washer dryer.

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.

Just follow your instructions - very easy. Interest videos also helpful.

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.

The U-Tube video from this site was great. SHOULD have taken a half-hour-- tops-- but the most difficult part was freeing up one of the screws at the bottom of the front panel. Finally had to drill it out. AFTER COMPLETING THE ACTUAL REPAIR, the leaking problem was solved.

I removed the front cover and disconnected the bleach filler tube from the top cover. I removed the two screws that held the top cover on and tilted the top cover back. I located the injector valve and determined that it was bad by starting the washer while watching the valve run over into the floor. I loosened the first clamp on the i ...

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
