How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP4310501 / 285452A Washer Inlet Hose Screen And Gasket

Put new screen in i have m.s. so it was hard for me to fix it 

Called and talked on chat line. Ordered the part and expected to get it in 3-5 days. Surprise came next afternoon and wS washing clothes that evening. Chat was great and the device was fast. Thanks. Keep up the great work. 

I bought a new Water Inlet Valve. This replaces both Hot and Cold. First, I watched the how-to Video on the AppliancePartsPros website. Then I would watched the Video through out the repair. Everything that I needed to know was in the Video including the very helpful advice from the demonstrator. It went very smoothly and I could not have done it without the Video. I also purchased new Inlet Hose Screen and Gasket for the water hoses. The screen was superior to hose screens found in local stores. It filters out very fine particles. I am very happy with Appliance Parts Pros. 

Tested both sides of water inlet valve (one dead). Replaced water inlet valve. Since machine is over 25 years old, replaced water intake hoses (had already replaced hose bibs with quarter-turn ball-valves--old ones leaking). Because we have hard water and the old screens on the intake hoses were almost full of gravel, ordered and replaced the screens (which also fit on the water inlet valve, if that is the only problem with it). Delighted to find not only 2 screens, but 4; saving 2 for future replacement. TOTALLY balanced washer on reinstallation and now no vibration on spinning. YAY!!! SO HAPPY! (Can you tell this was written by the woman of the house?) Entire project took two stages (and more time) because hubby rigged hose to fill into tub directly so we could wash essentials while waiting for replacement water inlet valve + I had to clean everything. APP phone support was invaluable for me as I did the research and ordering while hubby worked. Prices on parts ordered from APP were quite reasonable. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You are my go-to guys for any future repairs! 

Watched u tube video. Ordered replacement water inlet valve and new hoses. Dismantled washer and replaced defective valve and installed new hoses. The repair went very easily and the washer worked perfectly as a result. 

- Didn't see any other leaks in machine. No grinding transmission noise. Assumed seal on transmission shaft was bad, since it was a central leak down the rotor. It was a little more difficult to dissemble than the video showed, but not too bad. Got it all back together and seems to be working well. No leaks yet. Didn't need washer in parts diagram - was already on the transmission. Also the drain pump filter was not necessary, it can just be cleaned. 

Replaced water inlet valve. When inspecting valve inlets the hot water was very dirty, cold was cleaner and I could still wash clothes on cold without getting the error. Added inlet hose screens to the washer hose to help prevent this in the future, there was not one put in when the washer was installed. 

After checking the electrical continuity (there was none) I purchased a new water inlet valve kit. Super simple to install, removed the hood, unscrewed two bolts and unplugged the four solenoids. Then installed the new part by doing the same, in reverse. Worked immediately with no further action! Awesome, thank you! 

I ordered parts from Appliancepartspros.com who helped me fix the washer… They showed me an instruction video on how to repair my washer, could not done it without them! 

The LF code the washer was showing stopped when the water inlet valve was replaced. Hardest part of the repair was finding the clasps holding the washer face on.
