Bob December 20, 2011 for Model Number awm290w2 My washer leaks when off also. BUT when on cold water setting only, the water takes forever to fill and the water-line makes a high pitched sound. At $40 for this piece and other pieces my washer needs, wouldn't I be better buying new? Better yet, how old is the awm290w2 model?
1 Answer Hello Bob. We will need the serial number to determine the age of the unit. It sounds like the water valve WP34963 is the problem with the unit. Hope this helps. Read More...
Justin December 05, 2011 for Model Number lw8303w2 When my washer is not in use, it leaks water into the tub. Would a bad "mixing valve" be the problem? Thanks - Justin

Al June 26, 2011 for Model Number amana LW3303W Top Loading heavy duty multi-speed super capacity washer. The tub does not fill when the control knob is engaged. I have taken off and cleaned the mixing valve checking for possable sediment build up and blockage. After doing that the tub will not fill at all and when the water faucets are left on the mixing value still will allow water to accumulate in the tube without anything being turned on or engaged. Also the washer does not start all the time when I fill the tub manually whether the water level switch is set to low or not. Sometimes have to fill the tub almost full before the water level switch will allow the machine to start. is this the right part numbers for my machine and would this normally take care of the tube filling and water level issue? Valve, Mixing Part Number: AP4044939 Made by Whirlpool Switch, Pressure Part Number: AP4048403 Made by Whirlpool thank you for your assistnace I hope to be able to use my washing machine normally again.
1 Answer Al, Yes, Replacing the water mixing valve 33930 will solve the tub / tube filling, when the washer is turned off. However, you'll need to check the water level switch 31266 and the air dome hose, and bellow for clogs and kinks(the 1/4" hose from the pressure switch to the side of the tub) to solve the fill/ no fill issue. Good Luck. Read More...
