This water inlet valve attaches the water lines to the back of your appliance. The attaching solenoids on the valve open and close according to the desired temperature, or amount of water needed.
First I unplugged the washer. I removed the back of the washer and located the pump.I removed all the water from the pump, then I removed the hoses from the pump. I removed the wires from the pump and removed the two screws holding the pump in. I replaced the pump and reconnected everything. It works like new. The pump was the exact same thing ge sells but it cost a lot less.
Well replacing the pump went fine. I even did a trial run on a rinse and spin cycle and it worked great. Then i ran another cylce of clothes and walked away thinking all is well. Much to my surprise when I went to go through the utility room it was flooded. I did some inspecting and realised that I had put a hose on backwards. LOL. The good thing was that after I fixed the hose all worked well and haven't had any trouble since then. Your company was the cheapest price I found and the quickest delivery. Thank you so much for your help. Sincerly, Chris Lewis
Disconnect power and water lines. Lay the washer on it's back. Remove the nut (300) and washer (305). Rock the motor rotor (215) back and forth while pulling until it comes off the splined shaft. Remove the 3 bolts from the coupling assy (345). Remove the broken coupling (340) . Apply plastic grease to internal spline and gear teeth before reassembling in reverse of above. The machine is engineered to work on easily, however, I would not have needed to work on it if they had made the coupling assembly out of metal. The plastic gear fatigued at the internal spline and cracked apart after only 3.5 years of use.
