Pokey Joe for Model Number LA5580XSW2 I installed this today. The original inlet valve was attached to the bracket so when you secured the bracket everything was tight. With this replacement model, the valve and bracket are separate. I can install and secure the bracket with the original screws but the inlet valve itself is just kind of hanging there. There is no hole for the extra screw provided, not sure where it would go anyway. I figure when I attach it to the hoses they will keep it in place but this doesn't seem quite right. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong?
Answer Hello Pokey Joe, The screw is used to mount the valve to the new bracket. Put the two inlet ports where the hoses will screw onto the valve through the bracket and slide it until the holes line up for the bracket and the plastic hole made at the end of the valve. The existing screws are then used to mount the bracket to the rear panel of the machine. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Saturday, March 5, 2022
