Product review (5 stars): This valve fixed the washer for about $14
The symptom was that the washer would drip water into the tub after the spin cycle was complete. If the clothes didn't come out right away, they would be wet and heavy for the dryer. I figured the original spring closing the valve had lost some of its strength. The hardest part of the repair job was opening up the washer. Fortunately, with a youtube video and a putty knife, I was able to open up the washing machine. The valve swap-out then took about 10 minutes. So far, the new valve has been working well for 2 months.
