Parts for Amana HS8031: 12 - Mixing Valve Assy Parts

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

• Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
• Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
• A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
• Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

• Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
• Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
• Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
• Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
• Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed
