Amanda P Lincolnton , NC May 16, 2016 No cold water allowed into washer All i had to do was replace the water inlet valve. This was very easy and fixed the problem right away. My only problem was that i missed putting the black washer tips onto the new part before I put it on the washer. You have to take the old tips from the old part and put them on the new one. Wasn't a big deal just caused a little extra work having to take the part off and on. 4 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
