Product review (5 stars): CHEAP FIX FOR BIG PROBLEM; WASHER WORKS LIKE NEW
The inlet valve is a perfect fit for the original Kenmore clothes washer valve, which started to stutter during the hot water fill. This was caused by an extremely fast, on-and-off water flow. The hot water pipe in the wall vibrated rapidly from the machine gun-like water hammer effect and caused all of the homes hot water outlets to stutter if turned on while the washer filled with hot water. This quality valve is easy to install.

After installation, I ran a couple of loads and am happy to report that the valve replacement fixed the problem; washer works like new. Cheap fix for big problem.
