Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM18018636)

Mark for Model Number LAT9706AAE

How do I go about changing the console on top of my Maytag Washing Machine, Model No. LAT9706AAE? The plastic tabs that secure the console to the top of the housing got broken during a recent move & the only thing that currently holds it in place is the sheet metal backing panel. I was fortunate to find a replacement console (a part no longer available from the manufacturer), & am wondering if transferring all of the controls (including the front control panel) is something for a do-it-yourselfer to tackle? Thanks.

1 Answer

Mark, transferring the parts is going to be relatively easy that a do-it-yourselfer can certainly do. The knobs would need to be removed first, followed by unscrewing the console from the back panel. This will then allow access to the components attached to the console where the mounting screws would be removed and each part transferred one at a time to the new console.

Hello Frank, One of the water valves listed is for series 20, [AP60062890], and the other is for series 10, WP22001274. The first two digits of the serial number is the series number of the appliance. If it begins with 19 or lower, it is a series 10 and you would need to order WP22001274. If it begins with 20 or higher, it is a series 20 and you would need the [AP60062890].

John for Model Number LAT8714AAE

Hot water fill is a trickle: cold water fill is normal. 6 months ago replaced hoses and screens. Worked for about 2 months and then hot water slow once again. I guess it MIGHT be solenoid or dirty screen on hot water side. But the back of machine is hard to access (tight spaces) and while I could do it up until I reached 75 I will need to hire a repair person. I'm inclined to make it a one-stop job and have the new valve before calling the repair person. Your thoughts? Thanks.

John, It would be likely the screen being clogged but it would not be a bad idea to get the water valve to have on hand just in case. The part number for the valve is WP22001274.

Paul, We are in agreement with you, the water valve WP22001274 Water Valve would be the issue. The internal diaphragm is allowing the water to "seep" through and allows the washer to fill in the off position. Replace the valve and you'll be OK. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,

DANIELLE, Check for 120 vac at the water inlet valve. No voltage found means timer needs replaced. If you have 120 vac then replace the water valve if no blockage in the screens are found. You can unhook your hoses and test this.

Hello Jerry, You should check for voltage at the hot water valve WP22001274 during a hot water fill. If no voltage is present, the issue will be either the water temperature switch or the wiring. I'm sorry but this part 208283, water temperature switch, has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided.
