Product review (5 stars): Direct OEM Replacement For 8181694 Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve - Worked Fine, seemed the same as the part it replaced
This part appears to be exactly the same as the original for my Whirlpool Washing Machine and so far it's been working fine.  I ready the comments about the mounting hole being slightly off, but I didn't have a problem with it.  I did have to make sure the part was pushed in all the way, and then slid it towards the mounting hole a little.  No problem getting the mounting screw in.  Easy Fix, done in less than 10 minutes&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Direct-OEM-Replacement-For-8181694-Washing-Machine-Water-Inlet-Valve/dp/B00OQFG3Q0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Direct OEM Replacement For 8181694 Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve</a>
