Product review (5 stars): Replacement Valve Works
Our six year old front loading Whirlpool washer occasionally had water pool inside it when the washer was turned off. One time, we had a towel half in the washer and half out. The leaking water soaked the towel and allowed the water to seep out of the open washer door onto the floor. The internet and the user manual pointed the finger at the water inlet valve, so I purchased this valve. Installing it was a breeze. The biggest issue was moving the heavy washer out from the wall to gain access to the back of the machine. With just a screwdriver and a pair of pliers, I removed the old valve and installed the new one. As long as you are careful to remember which wire connects to which connection, the valve will work fine.
