Meg January 31, 2023 for Model Number 110.27522600 Is it possible to get just a replacement screen for the inlet valves (rather than the whole part)?
1 Answer Meg, Based on the model provided the manufacturer does not offer the screens separately. WP8578341 Read More...
1 Answer Roger, Yes, there are "minor" differences in the internal components (thermistor, flow washers, etc.). It's best to replace the existing part with the authorized replacement part, for both proper operation and safety purposes. Read More...
Teresa September 19, 2019 for Model Number WTW5320SQ0 My washer keeps stopping on the rinse cycle and if I have it on a cold cycle no water will come out. The only thing that comes out is hot water when the cold water decides it’s not going to work. What can it be?
1 Answer Hello Teresa, This sounds like the water supply hoses are switched in the rear of the washer. The only other thing that could cause this is a bad bi-metal on the water valve WP8578341. Read More...
Ej November 09, 2018 for Model Number WTW5300SQ3 Water inlet valve (wp8578341) and the screen for the cold water wase very dirty ...lots of sediment. Is there any way to clean this screen?? Machine is Whirlpool model WUW5300SQ3. If I have to put in a new Water Inslet Valve....what is the best way to access to removed the old and install the new?
1 Answer EJ, You can remove the hose and try to use a small toothbrush and soapy water to get the screen clean in the valve. Or try spraying water into the valve to get this cleaned. To access the valve you will use a putty knife under the corners of the control panel and pop the control panel free. Once you do this then there will be 2 clips to remove to remove the cabinet of the unit. Read More...
Dennis November 12, 2016 for Model Number WTW5540SQ0 We are experiencing water leaks with our washer. We took off the water inlet valve (wp8578341) and the screens were very dirty with muck and gunk. (That area was real wet). We cleaned it. We also took off the drain hose. It was dry at the bottom near the pump but way up at the top it was wet as well. I really don't know where the leaks are coming from multiple suspects. Any other thing we should look at?
1 Answer Dennis, The best option to determine a leak would be to turn the unit on and run the water and then start looking for leaks. Check the water valve the hoses and check to see if maybe it is the tub leaking where the rotor and stator are. If there is a tub seal leak then the the bearings would need replaced. Read More...

Mitch February 25, 2016 for Model Number WTW5540SQD I just replaced the water valve I bought from you (Whirlpool 8578341) and I was wondering if it is normal for the water flow on the hot water side to be about half that of the cold water side? I detached the hose to make sure the water supply was good and both are fine. Lots of water pressure. Do I have a problem or faulty valve?
1 Answer Mitch, It sounds like you may have gotten a valve that is not fully opening. The flow can be affected by the pressure at the hoses so if the pressure on the hoses is not the same then it would run slower. Read More...
