Whirlpool WP22001304 Washer Water Injector OEM Part

Removed the front panel and removed the screw from the console which revealed a broken plastic tab on the right side of the old injector. Replaced the old injector with the new one and that took care of the problem.

Replace the Water Injector unit.

Followed the repair video which made it easy. My only problem was that my washer had two screws holding the front panel which was not in the video. I ended up damaging the frame trying to pry it off. HINT: If the panel doesn't easily pop off as it did in the video.....you need to look for attaching screws before damaging your machine!

The right way to fix it is not according to the two previous people who described their repairs. There are only 2 panels you need to remove: the back top panel that spans the width of the back and the small panel marked #3 on the cabinet parts diagram (there are two hoses coming out of it). Detach the old hose from the water intake valve (part #7) by prying apart the hose clamp. The unit pulled out easily by pulling on the plastic unit, tub side. There is one screw that holds the plastic part to the "shelf" behind the controls, hence the need to remove the back upper panel. Attaching this part really takes 2 people. To aid in finding the hole in the water injector in which to place the screw, we marked the hole with a red felt tip marker. Attach the new hose in reverse order of detaching the old one. Since we had removed the front panel as one contributor suggested, we had to put it back on. The video on this website was extremely helpful for showing how to use the spring clamps to reattach the front panel. The entire process went much more smoothly with 2 people.

Although I'm an engineer and can fix most things, I was truly impressed by the repair video. Nowhere have I ever seen such well done videos that so clearly explain the way to do a repair.
