If your washer isn’t filling properly or skipping parts of the cycle, this water valve might be the issue. It controls cold water flow for the bleach dispenser and prewash cycles. The valve connects with a standard hose and has three outlets—two pointing to the right and one to the left—all at a 45-degree angle. It’s a genuine part and easy to install, but be sure to unplug your washer and turn off the water before starting.

It was exactly the piece we needed and it resolved the problem we had with filling the washing machine.
It came in earlier than expected.
Thank you!

Water was filling the tub when washer was not in use.
I followed the video and my repair went just like the expert showed on the video. The hardest part was pulling the washer away from the wall and getting enough elbow room to be able to work on the washer. I will definitely come back to this site for my next appliance repair.
Very simple. Watched video. Pulled the washer out to get behind it. Turned off water supply, unplugged it. Unscrewed the screwesholding the top in place, slid top back, lifted it off. Used pliers to open the clamps holding the pipes to the valve - one at a time. And fitted the pipes to new valve, one at a time. SOME WATER REMAINS IN THESE PIPES, SO PUT A TOWEL UNDERNEATH TO CATCH IT. Removed the electrical connectors one at a time and fitted them to the new valve one at a time. Did same to the hot valve - not leaking but decided to replace it before it did leak. Reattached water supply hoses and electric plug. Tested the washer cycle to make sure no leaks. Put top back on and pushed washer back to wall. Apart from the testing, the whole job took 25 minutes. The parts arrived on Day 2 after the order. VERY PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING!
Water was leaking into washing machine after the washer was shut off
Removed the cover from the washing machine, the two valves(cold & hot) are located in the read top of the machine, removed the hoses to the valves, removed the nut that holds on the valve to the washer and placed new valve into washer and placed the nut back onto new valve, placed the hoses back onto the new valve.
Water was collecting in the machine after it finished its cycle.
Turned off hot and cold water supply. Pulled out machine and disconnected hoses, unplugged power.
Unscrewed 4 screws at back top of machine (holding plastic bracket to cover). Pulled out trays from front where detergent is poured, and removed small screws under trays.
Slid cover back and up. This was the only tricky part. There are pegs that must line up with large holes in cover before you can easily lift cover up. Helps to look from underneath and find pegs on each side.
Using pliers, fully open clamps holding hoses to the inlet valves, and carefully pull off hoses while keeping clamps open with pliers… making sure to keep track of which hose goes to each motor. Take a picture of electrical connectors noting color and sequence of connectors on each inlet valve motor. Pull all connectors off.
Unscrew screws holding each inlet valve to machine. Put new inlet valves in place of old, and screw in place. Reconnect hoses (using pliers to hold open clamps, then slide clamps over tubing and inlet valve connector). Reconnect electrical connectors carefulljng lining up colors of wires and sequence using picture taken in previous step.
Replace cover. Screw all screws back to secure cover. Replace trays.
First unplug the machine. Turn the water off to the hoses. Remove the hoses from the machine to make it easier. Remove the screws from the back of the top cover. Pry the front sides with a screwdriver and lift. Standing behind the machine on the left side you’ll see the three solenoids or inlet assembly. Remove the two screws so as to take the inlet assembly out. There are hoses attached to the assembly.

Hot & Cold Water Inlet Valves Leak
YouTube is your friend for many such repairs. See this link for an overall description:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuvLuC8x4_s
I had to remove the top panel to determine exactly which valve was leaking. It turned out both hot and cold-water valves were defective.
After unit is unplugged and top is removed, it's a simple matter to remove/replace hose connections and electrical connections. It took me less than an hour to complete the task once parts were in hand.
Again, YouTube is your friend for such repairs.

Part f160 will it stop a leak at hose that leads from bleach dispenser to washer rinse spicket?
For model number Wm427ohwa
Hello Gilda, Thank you for your inquiry. The inlet valve is the part that pumps the water through the dispenser into the machine. We would recommend checking the hoses and connectors first for any cracks or damage. Hope this helps.
