Product review (5 stars): Perfect Replacement
I have an old (1985) Maytag A212 washer that has lasted really well over the years. Had to put in a new water pump early on and a fill hose last year, but those repairs over 27 years seem okay, as with the need for a new water valve. The problem was that the hot water stopped filling. And when you have an indoor potty using towels for two Chihuahuas, you want hot water to wash those towels. Anyway, I learned from my ice maker experience that the best price is through Amazon or an Amazon partner, so I ordered this from Seneca River Trading for about one fourth the price at the parts warehouse. It arrived via first class mail just a few days later. I installed it, together with new, steel-braid reinforced connection hoses (I figure 14 years on the old set was good for a change), and cranked up a load of dog stink. The valve works great. It is an exact replacement for the one on the washer (which, come to think of it, might not be the original). So, in a word, I recommend this vendor. If you want to be sure you get the right part, search the Web for a parts diagram for your model and then search by part number. This particular fill valve is very common on Whirlpool, Amana, and Maytag machines.
