Packick July 27, 2022 for Model Number MVWC400XWO Can I remove the inlet water screen from my Maytag washing machine and instead use a washer screen in the hose itself to replace it (i.e., not replace the internal screen)? Thanks.
1 Answer Patrick, Thanks for the question!!! Yes you may but if anything gets though it will likely damage the valve. Read More...
Mary S. May 04, 2021 for Model Number MVWX500XW1 This is a plastic filter. According to the book its called an inlet valve screen. I can't find a part number?
1 Answer Hello Mary, This screen 285452A is combined with the washing machine water hose seal and is used in the water supply hose. When this is used, the screen can be removed from the water valve and the cone of the screen should always be installed pointing toward the incoming water pressure. These are metal screens. The plastic screens you are referring to are only available as part of the water inlet valve assembly W11168740 and W11168743. Read More...
Je January 01, 2021 for Model Number mvwc565fw1 how to change the water inlet screens or do I just need to add a screen in the water supply lines?
1 Answer Je, the filter screens in the water valve assembly W11038689 are built-in and can not be replaced separately from the valve. Fill hose screens 285452A can be added as an extra filter by installing them where the supply hose mounts to the wall valve, but this will not correct a clogged or damaged screen on the valve.

James T. January 10, 2015 for Model Number etw4400x00 Which cold water valve do I need, the water keeps running when the machine is off. Ii have to turn the water on n off every time I use the machine. The washer type is 111-07 mod #ETW4400x00 ser#c14041748
1 Answer James, You need to replace the water inlet valve WPW10144820. The internal plunger or solenoid has failed and stuck open, allowing the water flow through the valve and fill the tub. You will need to remove the power and disconnect the hoses from the valve, then remove the cabinet to access the inlet valve mounted on the inside of the back panel. Read More...

Buddy February 03, 2013 for Model Number LLN8244ANO Washer model no LLN8244ANO water fills slower than usual. Could this be debris in hose screens or something else? Do the filter screens install on hose connection next to rear of washer or on other end at water faucet hose connection? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Buddy. Yes, it could be clogged. If you remove the hoses at both connections and clean the unit, and it still fills slow, then you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
