Water Inlet Valve WP34963

First I thought hoses could have been clog, turned out that the flow valve was bad
One screw to take off the value holder itself, removed the two hoses that bring hot and cold water to the valve, removed the water line that brings the cold and hot water to the washer (nothing more than a hose clamp) Was then able to remove the valve holder. Simply unbolted the value from the holder, replaced with new valve and reversed processed to re-install.
Pretty easy, about minutes

Removed old timer replaced new.
Removed old water inlet and replace with new. I don't think that the water inlet valve had anything wrong with it. But I had one go on me before and thought that It may be the cause of the filling problem. We thought it was taking forever to fill, when actually it was just running through all of the cycles.

Rear panel has to be removed to access part. Removing controls top of machine, two screws lower left and right, will make back panel removal easier. Back panel hangs on 2brackets,protruding thru the panel, near the top, and 3 screws across the bottem. You will also have to remove the drain pass thru connecting the internal drain hose to the external drain hose. The replacement part does not have matching screw mount holes to those on the rear panel. Their is a square punch out with a tab on the replacement which can be used for the top mount screw. Use a drill and bit to round the hole. Mount replacement then drill a hole in the replacement for the the lower mount screw. 1 day service and works like new.

1. Removed the hot and cold water hoses. 2. Undid one screw holding on the solenoid mounting plate. 3. Pushed the plate in at the top to unlatch the plate at the bottom. 4. Pulled the plate out and undid the output hose. 5. Replaced the solenoid assembly held on by two screws. 6. Replaced it all in the revers order.

First I removed 2 screws that hold the element in place. I then pulled the element out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wires. I connected the new value and put it back in place. I then put the screws back in place.

This was very easy and it solved my problem

Thanks a lot

The repair was easy. It took approximately 30 minutes.
