Carolyn S Conshohocken , PA January 14, 2024 Appliance: Whirlpool Washer WTW4816FW2 Whirlpool Washer Wtw4816fw2: The water intake valve was malfunctioning. How to replace Washer Water Inlet Valve. After I received an estimate from my local appliance repair, I decided to see how much the part cost. When I did so, I noticed they had a DIY video. I can't say enough about how invaluable the video was. It was literally a step-by-step instructional and saved me over $300 for something that took me about 15 minutes. I am not one to do repairs myself. It's not something that comes easy to me but this video showed how simple it was and I'm so glad I found it.
