Ge WH13X10023 Water Inlet Valve OEM Part

I reseached these error codes and compared them to others problems. After deciding that I was gonna order the part and fix it myself I was at ease to find out it took 10min to fix! And it actually worked! The washer was pausing during cycles, cloths were soaking wet, spin cycle only worked on drain and spin at the end of the Ioad (it would spin slowly otherwise), soap dispenser still had the soap in it or it would be filled with water after the cycle was over. I watched videos on how to change the inlet water valve and it looked pretty doable. Diagnosing the problem was the hardest thing cuz people had the same problems and said it wasn't the water inlet valve, so it made me second guess myself. In the end $60 was a cheap fix compared to the alternative. Btw I also ran the cold water and hot water test manually (cuz mine said the codes but didn't have the ability to run them) when I discovered the cold water came out slow I was convinced to change the water inlet valve. Aside from already checking the strainers, filter, water pipes for blocking debrie.

At some point the thread for the hot water line was damaged and would leak if the machine ran a warm or hot wash. I tried to cut the thread back to remove the damage but it was just slightly too short to seal. I ordered the valve and had it overnighted, as the washer had already been out of service while I replaced the door seal. Unplugged the machine, turned off the water and disconnected the hoses, removed the top and replaced the valve. Very easy repair, my only mistake was not wearing gloves so I cut a finger when I pulled the water hose off the valve - the inside of the frame is sharp. The wires connecting to the valves can't be mixed up on my machine, the harness won't allow it unless you've cut the wire ties. I still took a picture on the phone though, just in case.

Tested pump and found there was no current passing through the hot water side. T08 diag also revealed no valve activity. Pulled out the old valve and in installed the new one. Hot and cold now work. Easy install.

The repair guy came out, i told him that it was probably the water inlet solenoid as i could hear the door lock, no water would come into the washing chamber and then the washer would time out. He checked continuity on the solenoid and said" yep, it'll be $303 dollars for me to replace it. I said ' can i just pay your service fee' and he said 'sure $59 bucks'. I ordered the ~50 part, ordered for next day shipping. Upon receipt, i inscrewed the 6 screws to get the lid off and found the valve. I disconnected and installed the valve with 4 electrical prong, 1 screw holding the assy in place and a clamp to hold the water discharge in place. Total time - about 10 minutes. I reassembled- good to go. Savings $180 bucks. Thanks appliance parts pros!

We ran the tests that the site recommended and any troubleshooting steps it recommended. When we determined that it wasn't our water supply or clogged hose filter, we ordered the water inlet valve. It arrived in 2 days and the installation took about 10 minutes. Now our washer works. Thank you so much for your site as it saved us at least $150 in labor and who knows how much they would have jacked up the price of the part.
