Arthur G San Jose , CA June 17, 2016 Appliance: Model GE. GTWN4250D0WS Water inlet valve was leaking continuously The simplicity of this repair surprised me. Finding the correct part on this site using the washer modle number was easy and quick. From start to finish the whole process took less than half an hour. I unplugged the washer, shut off the water supply valves and removed the hoses from the washer inlet valve. Using a 1/4" nut driver I removed the three screws from the instrument panel ( rear top), sliding the panel slightly to the right to disengage the mounting tabs I placed the panel face down on the washer exposing the inlet valve. I unplugged the electrical connectors, removed the 2 mounting screws and with pliers removed the clamp and water line from the valve freeing it from the unit. Installing the new valve was just reversing the process. Simple and quick and saved a lot of money!

Gerald P Angier , NC December 23, 2015 Leaking inlet valve on ge washing machine Replaced original valve with your factory OEM valve set. The project took about 10 minutes with removing water hoses, carefully removing 3 - 1/4" hex drive screws from back of control panel, leaning control panel forwards when metal tabs on rear panel were released, removing 2 -1/4" hex drive screws that hold valve set in place, and unplugging electrical connectors. There was another 10 minutes to reverse the process and flush the water inlet hoses. Very simple job. THANK YOU, for the proper part.

Steven M Fredericksburg , VA November 27, 2015 Appliance: General Electric General Electric GTWN4250D0WS Ge washer "valve triple water" dripping while machine off Self-repair. Very easy. I did not have to move machine. Was able to access everything from front of machine; however, I did need to reach behind control panel to disconnect water lines, unplug power, and remove three control panel screws. If you can easily access the back of your washer, the actual repair takes less than 15 minutes. Toughest part of repair was locating my tools as I never seem to put things away after use! I also replaced the rubber washers since I disconnected the water lines. Appliance Parts Pro was great in answering pre-purchase questions relative fitment. Part arrived one day after order.
