This is an electromagnetic water inlet valve that controls the flow of hot water into the washing machine. It opens when the washer calls for hot water during the wash or rinse cycle and closes when the cycle is complete. Replace this valve if the washer is not filling with hot water, fills slowly, leaks from the back of the machine near the hose connections, or continues to fill when the machine is off.
I wanted to only mess with the washer in a single 30-minute session. So, I assumed both solenoid valves were leaking and purchased replacements. It was a simple project, as well as a good chance for my 13-year-old son to accomplish something practical. Steps/tools used, in order: STEP/TOOL 1: Pull the washer electrical plug from the wall; no tools needed. STEP/TOOL 2: Shut off the hot and cold supply hose valves in the wall; no tools needed. STEP/TOOL 3: Unscrew the hot and cold water female... Read more

Fix a washer that won't fill with water or leaks onto the floor. This water inlet valve controls water flow into your machine. DIY repair in 10 minutes.
The Cold Water Inlet Valve had a very good You Tube Video and I followed it. One note of caution, as I chuckled at the guy on the video saying watch for sharp edges, he was correct. When removing one of the lines from the valve, my pliers slipped and my elbow hit the front of the machine(inside edge) and cut my elbow. So after that I draped the edges with towels to avoid that happening. Again the fix was easy and very straight forward from the video. No extra pearls of wisdom here. Total... Read more
Washer won't fill with water or only fills with hot? The water inlet valve controls water flow into the tub. DIY repair takes about 30 minutes.
This is my third repair of this type. The first was a stand-alone washer and was very easy, because there was a plate on which the inlet valve assembly was mounted, and it was easily removed. This repair was on a Frigidaire stacked washer/dryer (laundry center). Stacked washer/dryers are typically purchased to save space and are often tucked into a closet. Be sure you can pull it out to access both front and rear. Remove drain hose from drain, detach water hoses, electricity and dryer vent... Read more

Causes of a bad Float Assembly can vary from simple blockages that prevent the float from moving freely to electrical faults within the switch mechanism.
Symptoms of a bad Float Assembly include:
This OEM LG part is also compatible with some Kenmore models.
The hot inlet valve was dripping water, replaced it. Water and soap were coming out of the vent pipe. The new Float assembly had a shorter shaft than the old Float Assembly I was replacing. I did install the new Float Assembly and cleaned the vent hose where the float seats and I haven't seen any more water on the floor. Both repairs were made easy by watching your repair videos.

This water inlet valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the washing machine tub during fill cycles. It is an electrically operated solenoid valve that opens and closes based on signals from the control board or timer. Replace this valve if the washer is not filling with water, filling slowly, leaking from the back, or continuing to fill when it shouldn't.
Water became visible as it accumulated at the bottom rear part (the part that is tilted back) of the washer drum. I theorized that the valve controlling water flow into the machine was to blame. I began my troubleshooting by going to Appliance Pros website where I looked for a Water Inlet Valve. I easily found this on the exploded parts diagram. After identifying the part that seemed to be the issue, I began reading other reviews from folks who were experiencing the same problem and who solved... Read more

It opens and closes electronically based on the selected water temperature and cycle requirements. Replace this part if your washer won't fill with water, overfills, or if water temperature is incorrect.
The GE front loading HE washer wound paused at the rinse fill point and need manual selection of drain & spin to finish the load. Online searches told me how to get the error code. Once E22 was found online searching told me it was a water flow problem- slow fill. I removed the hoses at the washer and inspected for clogs - nothing was found. I then put the ends of the hoses in a bucket and turned on the water- strong flow. Interesting is some debris/solids came out. I’m betting over time solids... Read more
