Product review (4 stars): Gotta Love Amazon
My 10 year old Kenmore Dishwasher started having water build up in the tub throughout the day. I would have to manually hit the drain button to remove the water. After some research, I found that the main water valve was not closing all the way and water was leaking in at a slowish stream over several hours. I went to my local sears store and they wanted $100 plus for someone to come out and diagnose the problem and if it was the valve, $80 or so for the part. I decided to see if I could find the part online at Amazon and sure enough, this Whirlpool valve came up as a replacement for my Kenmore part. The part picture looked the same as the illustration, so I bought it for a fraction of the sears cost and spent an hour replacing it. It was a perfect fit and now the dishwasher is working like new again....no leaking valve.
