Tom M. April 05, 2014 for Model Number Maytag washer LAT8200AAW water inlet valve Does it matter how you connect the wires to a replacement valve? I forgot to look before removing the old one!
1 Answer Yes, It does matter where there wires are attached to the fill valve. If attached improperly to the fill valve terminals, the water temperatures will be reversed. The Blue wire needs to be attached to the cold solenoid, the orange wire attaches to the hot solenoid and the white wire needs to be attached to the empty terminal on each solenoid. Read More...
Lrb March 04, 2014 for Model Number LA512 Problem: The hot water does not shut off once the tub fills to the proper level only the cold water shuts off. The hot water continues to flow until the wash cycle is complete then everything shuts down and the water stops flowing. What is the voltage to the water valve coils? AC or DC
1 Answer LRB, The tendency would be to suspect the water inlet valve 205613, but based on your post information, it's more likely you have a short in the wiring between the timer and the water inlet valve or a contact failure in the timer WP206230 itself. The information would indicate that the washer is supplying voltage to the hot water solenoid and keeping it "open" during the whole cycle. When the timer advances into the off position, and voltage is removed from the timer, the solenoid closes and the water stops flowing. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Tom. Check for a wiring issue. And make sure the outlet is good. If the wiring is good, then you will need to replace the control board on the unit. Read More...
Jeff February 07, 2014 for Model Number A7800XP1 When washer starts the wash cycle it will wash anywhere from 10 to 20 seconds and will stop and fill with more water. It seems like the water level is dropping just enough to make it stop and refill to the level that is selected. It will do this through out the entire wash cycle. rinse and spins fine.
1 Answer Jeff, A couple of things to check, first the drain pipe, the top of the drain pipe (where the drain hose attaches) needs to be 36 to 38 inches high from the floor. Any thing lower will cause the washer to momentarily syphon the water out of the tub. Also, remove power to the washer, lower the control panel and check the air dome hose WP22001619 where it attaches to the water level switch 207362, make sure the tube fits very tightly on the switch spout, there are no pin holes or cracks in the tube and the hose clamp fits tight. A minor air leak in the tube or switch can cause the symptoms you described. Read More...

Kapata January 13, 2014 for Model Number LAT9700AAW We have a leak in our Maytag washer. There is no problem washing the first load. When the washer begins to fill for the second load, water leaks from the bottom at the left rear. The water hoses have been replaced. No leaking when the washer is draining or when the tub is full of water, only when the tub is filling. It has been suggested that the problem might be the intake valve. Do you agree or is it something else? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Kapata. I would suggest you remove the front panel and look for the leak in the unit with the panel removed. Then you can locate the issue with the unit. Read More...
Charles January 12, 2014 There is 120 volts on all four electrical connections on the inlet valve and adequate water pressure clean screens within the valve but no water enters the machine. What is the problem?
1 Answer Hello Charles. If there is power coming to the valve, but nothing coming out, you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Debbie January 07, 2014 for Model Number A511S I took the water inlet valve apart to soak it in vinegar because it was clogged with rust from our water. A washer fell out of it and I didn't see wear it came from. It has four little bumps on one side of it, so it must matter which side goes up. I can't find a picture of the inside of the water inlet valve. Can you help?
1 Answer Hello Debbie. Sorry, the manufacturer does not recommend taking these apart and offers no information on that. They only recommend replacing the valves. Thanks. Read More...
Linda November 18, 2013 for Model Number Maytag Model A882 How do I install the water valve part number is AP4023852?
1 Answer Hello Linda. Turn off water and pull unit out from the wall. Then remove the hoses from the valve and the screw above the housing. Pull out holder and work the wires and hose out enough to unhook and replace the old valve with the new valve. These are not to hard to replace this way. Read More...
