Doug September 18, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet Sport ht Cycle won't start. Show error code F-. The drain/spin cycle will work. I checked hoses for kinks and inlet valve screens are clean. Seems like it could be the water fill valve. What's your thoughts.
1 Answer Hello Doug. If there is power coming to the inlet valve and no water comes out, replace the inlet valve WP8181694 on the unit. Read More... Safety note: testing, adjusting or bypassing anything while the appliance has power is a job for a qualified technician. Unplug it before you open it up, and keep it unplugged until every panel is back on.
Shawn September 08, 2012 for Model Number GHW9460PW0 I checked the continuity of the water valve. If it reads less than 1 (0.8 digital meter) does that mean it is bad and should be replaced?
1 Answer Hello Shawn, You can test a water valve and it test perfectly electrically and still be bad. The only way to test one accurately is to apply water pressure and 120 volts and see if it passes water. Since the water valve body is plastic, it can be warped and even though the coil is perfect, it cannot open with the valve binding. If it does open, it may not close back since water pressure alone closes the valve. Read More...

Shawn September 05, 2012 for Model Number GHW9460PW0 The door locks and no water enters the machine. We've checked the hoses and water supply and all is fine on that end. Could it be the inlet valve or the flow meter?
1 Answer Hello Shawn. Yes, based on the information you provided, if there is power coming to the valve and now water comes out, you will need to replace the water valve WP8181694. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Leigh August 30, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Duet GHW9150PWO I just replaced the water inlet valve (part number AP3128776). The white connectors went to cold, the black to hot. Does it matter which side of the cold side (black side) the white connectors (black connectors) go to? After I ran a load of laundry, I opened the dispenser drawer. Only the detergent had been dispensed, the fabric softener & bleach were just as full as they were before the wash started. Is this a defective valve? Thank you.
1 Answer Leigh, It's not likely you have a faulty fill valve WP8181694 but anything is possible. You do however have to make sure the wiring on the solenoids is correct, or the valve won't operate properly. You may need trace the wiring back to the CCU (control board) and check the VCH7 connector(4 wires) and make sure you have the proper wire on the proper solenoid. Wire #1 should be on one terminal of the cold water solenoid and wire #3 should be on the other terminal of the cold water solenoid. Wire #5 should be on the terminal in the same location as wire#3, but on the hot water solenoid. Wire #7 Should be on the hot water solenoid, in the same location as wire #1 on the cold solenoid. Then check for the fill, again. Thanks Read More...
Eddie Hayes July 15, 2012 for Model Number ghw9200lw The control panel is on but the cycle is not starting.
1 Answer Eddie, Are there any error codes in the display ? Will the washer spin if the spin selection is set. If that's the case, you want to make sure the water faucets are open, the fill valve and fill hose debris screens are not clogged. If alls OK, you need to unplug the power cord and remove the washer top panel and check the wirinng harness to the CCU 8181924 and door latch assembly WP8182634. We'll send you some technical information that will explain, and assist you in the proper diagnosis Read More...
Nj May 21, 2012 I have a Whirlpool Cabrio Washer, it is pouring water out of the back...the top, it is not the hoses.
1 Answer Hello NJ. It sounds like the inlet valve WP8181694 is bad based on the information you provided. You will need to access the valve and see if that is where the water is leaking from.

Any help is appreciated Thank you
1 Answer Hello Carol. Check and make sure the water is turned on at the shut off. If so, you will need to test for power coming to the valve, and if there is power, replace the valve WP8181694. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Bryan March 11, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool GHW9200L I ordered part AP3128776 for my Whirlpool washer. When I went to swap out the new part with the old I noticed that the electrical connections are different. The contact spades on the new solenoids do not match up with the receptacle contacts. Is there an an adapter to mate these with?
1 Answer Bryan, Usually, if there was an adapter or an engineering change, you would have found the necessary parts and information/instructions, with the new part. We have checked the manufacturers sight and could not find any engineering changes for the fill valve. Based on the partial model number you supplied, you did order the correct part number WP8181694. You may want to contact the APP Customer Service Dept. and re order another fill valve, there may have been a mishap in the shipping process. Thanks Read More...
Troy February 28, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Ghw9150pwo I am having the same FH code problem as Carl above. My inlet hoses seem fine on hot and cold. When I took the air tube off the water level switch the machine filled. When I put it back on I got the FH code again. Does this mean my switch is bad and should be replaced?
1 Answer Troy, Yes, Based on your post, it's time to replace the water level switch WPW10514214. and make sure the wiring connector snaps and locks in place tightly. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
