Kent S October 29, 2012 We have an older model washing machine that is over filling with water. Can you tell me what part I need to replace?
1 Answer Hello Kent. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit. Read More...
Dave September 12, 2012 for Model Number A612 Hi - I have a Maytag top loading washer A612 Series 2 (oldie but goodie) that is slowly leaking (clean) water into the basin when washer is not running. I think this may be a faulty water intake valve. Before ordering replacement part AP4023852, I wanted to ask if this is the likely cause of the problem and if so, if that is the correct replacement part. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Dave, Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve is bad and needs to be replaced. 205613 is the correct valve. Read More...
Mike September 10, 2012 for Model Number A608 My old Maytag washer takes a long time to fill with water, hot or cold. Sometomes it takes 2 to 3 hours even for a small load. Can this be the fault of a defective water valve and what would the correct replacement part number?
1 Answer Hello Mike. Make sure the water pressure is good and the hoses are not clogged. If not, replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Greg August 20, 2012 for Model Number LA612 I am not getting any hot water into my tub. From reading the Q&A, I now realize it may be a clogged screen or a bad water valve. Are there any other possibilities? Also can I replace the water valve myself? Thanks for your informative website.
1 Answer Greg, it sounds like you will need to replace the water inlet valve part number 205613. You will need to access the back of the washer. Remove the fill hoses from the inlet valve. Remove the screws holding the valve bracket in place and remove the screws holding the inlet valve to the bracket. Remove the wiring to the inlet valve- keeping track of where each wire came from so you can install them in the correct location when replacing. Remove the clamp that holds the fill tube to the valve. Install the valve in reverse order. Hope this helps you, thanks! Read More...
David July 01, 2012 for Model Number Maytag A608 My washer has a valve which resembles the bottom picture (of the four depicted above) The connectors are in line. Installation would be easy by matching connections, in line. However, I understand this picture is older and the new part has connectors on two sides, like in the other 3 pictures. I need guidance on how to correctly hook up the newer part. Thanks
1 Answer Hello David, The only difference between this valve and the new valve is the way the valve mounts to the cabinet. The two wires on the solenoids can be reversed with no consequence. If the top and bottom are switched, the unit will put in hot water when cold is called for and vice versa. As far as mounting goes, you simply mount to the holes in the back that line up with the screw holes provided. I have found that on several models, there is no way to get two holes to align. In this case, simply mount the valve with one screw. The single screw will ground the valve sufficiently and the unit will operate normally. Read More...
Laurie May 10, 2012 for Model Number LNC6535A87 rev. C Will this valve replace the one on my 1988 Montgomery Ward/Norge washer? I could only find two numbers on the valve: 8K-25809-1 and 33A88 33 7044. Neither looks like a part number to me, but I wouldn't know it anyway. :-)
1 Answer Hello Laurie! According to your model number the replacement inlet valve is part number 35-2374N. Thanks! Read More...
Dianne April 09, 2012 for Model Number a390-04 I'm looking for a replacement water valve for my Maytag.
Alan F. March 21, 2012 for Model Number MAYTAG LA112 Top Loader On the cold fill, the washer fills dreadfully slowly - almost a trickle. Water pressure on both lines going into the valve is good. It fills nicely on the Warm and Hot settings. Is this the valve or the pressure sensor at fault? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Alan. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water inlet valve 205613 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Pogo March 14, 2012 for Model Number 11026912690 My washer won't fill with water at all. There are no buzzing sounds. The water lines that lead to the main water supply are clear. Do I need to order the water intake valve kit, and does it include the hot and cold water solenoid, or do I even need the two solenoids? Thanks, Pogo
1 Answer Hello Pogo. You should start the machine on a cold wash and test for voltage. If voltage is getting there, I would order the water valve. If it isn't, you probably have a bad pressure switch W10339326 or timer WP3951769. The water valve does include both hot and cold inlet valves and solenoids. I hope this helps and have a great day!

Bill M. March 14, 2012 for Model Number Maytag washer LA613 Intermittently fails to stop water when filling for the rinse cycle. Never fails on initial water fill for wash cycle. Only fails if you are NOT standing near the washer. When it fails the water overflows the tub and many gallons of water are running across the floor and ruining wall sheetrock.
1 Answer Hello Bill. If the water has to be turned off at the shut offs to stop the water, you will need to replace the water valve 205613 in the unit. If it stops by turning the machine off, then you will replace the pressure switch WP22206223 and the pressure hose WP22001619. Hope this helps. Read More...
