SWS833HS1 Westinghouse Washer - Instructions

First I removed the hot and cold water supply lines to the machine. Then I removed the two screws at the top of the back panel, and pulled the entire top of the machine off which was a little tricky to figure out. There are two tension-like clips in the front of the machine holding the top on. (I had thought the back panel would come off so I was surprised when it became clear that the top of the machine would come off.) Then I unscrewed the two screws that hold the water inlet valve. I had to remove the green grounding wire that was clipped on the frame. The water inlet valve then lifted out easily. There were two clips to slide off, and a hose going into the tub that also had to come off which I did by loosening a little clamp on the end of the hose- saved the clamp for the new valve! Re-attaching everything was a snap. Tested the hot water before re-setting the top of the machine back together and it worked!

Removed screws at back securing top panel (4).

Removed screws holding water inlet valve to back of machine (2)

Removed water hoses to bucket

Removed squeeze clamp securing water distribution hose from inlet valve

Reversed method with new valve.

Very fast...~25 min
Works fine so far!

Unplug washer. Remove supply lines. Remove two screws in back and remove clips holding top of washer. Front of washer top is held by two clips. Release top from clips and slide top towards the front. Remove two screws holding the water inlet valve to the back of the washer. Lift unit out and remove clamp and hose. Install new unit in reverse of removal.

The repair would have gone much easier if I did not have a stack dryer on top of the washer. Had to roll out the total unit and work with the dryer partly on top. Only needed minimal work and tools after that.

Extremely easy. From finding the part on the website to installing on the machine.

It is so great to be able to turn my dryer on now without using my bare hand to turn the shaft that the knob was to go on. Nothing needed other than pushing knob in place. I so wish I had thought of looking online for a replacement part 4 years ago. Thanks!

I ordered replacement knob for washing machine. It arrived by fedex in 3 days. Ordering was easy and transaction went as smooth as it could. I will order again if needed.

Just put the new one on! Absolutely great service!!!!

Just pulled the broken knobs off and pushed the new ones on. Very easy!!!!!

We decided to see if this was the problem so we ordered replacement knobs, and IT DID!

Had already pulled off the broken knob--actually it had fallen off in my hand. Opened the package, pulled out the knob and pushed it onto the knob shaft. Simple. Less than one minute.

Just push the new knob into place.

Slip replacement knob on to selector switch shaft

We were at our condo in Florida and only had a limited time before we had to leave. After a local search we went the Internet and ordered our part and had it in two days. B Thanks. Bob and Marge
