Water valve leaking.

Spent about an hour start to finish. Half the time was spent trying to figure out how to "pop" open the top of the control panel. Otherwise a very easy fix.

Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW8500DC2

Whirlpool Cabrio displayed lf would not complete a wash cycle.

Purchased water inlet valve and new hot and cold water hoses. Unscrewed about 5 screws that were holding the top of the washer in place then slide the top forward and up. Released the control top it popped off no screws. Disconnected the wires attached and unscrewed 2 screws holding the valve in place the popped that off. Popped in a new valve and repeated the process in reverse. Boom done! Very simple works like new!
