The top of my Kenmore washer does not open via the putty knife trick. Instead, remove two screws at the rear of the washer, slide the whole top forward slightly, and lift/wiggle/coax the thing loose and raise it up. The lack of this one bit of missing information caused a world of grief and delay with this otherwise simple job.

[@bluelude2001]

Same applies for Maytag Bravos XL washer. Spent way too long with the putty knife before I learned I needed to remove the screws in the back and it slides forward.

[@Honda1100ACE]

Great video. Wish I read the comments: Putty knife does not open the top on a Maytag Bravos. Remove two top bracket screws on the rear, slide forward 1/4 inch to release the top. Other ideas: Take a picture of the wiring before unplugging all the color coded connectors. The red wire might be short, just bend the spade connectors or bend the red plastic quick connect so the wire has a shorter run. Finally, get some rust reformer and paint the bottom edge of the top sheet metal as this is a design flaw: your white items will come out rusty as the plain steel drip edge is not powder coated.

[@dougb8207]

Same here.

[@dougb8207]

@@Honda1100ACE great comments. I did take a picture, and also I found the red wire was short, because my replacement assembly was spun around the other direction, and trying to reverse it didn't leave enough room.

I bought a new inlet valve but not the new wiring harness. Can I get some help finding it. I've looked on the web site and can't seem to find one. Any help would be great.

[@virgilforrest2356]

Suppose you forget where those hoses go to how would you know where to put them back at

[@dodriggs]

Great video, and so well produced! Some of these 'how to' vids insist on doing everything in 'real time' which feels like watching a glacier melt. Thank you for posting this!

[@willjoseph2147]

Can you keep the old wiring harness to install the replacement?

[@joecox9958]

what difference of W10364988 vs w10853723? thanks

[@SaveKilgenOKC]

My harness for the Whirlpool WTW6800WW1 has soldered in terminals for the wiring harness. The one I ordered to replace it looks to be the same so I guess I'm ok.

[@virgilforrest2356]

Suppose you forgot where the full hoses to the valve water sending me goes how would you put them back in the right spot

[@jaspip1678]

Has anyone figured where to get that updated harness?

[@appliancepartspros]

What is the model number of your appliance and we can look and see if we can find anything for you.

[@jamesschwamberger7958]

I don't want to replace. I want to repair.

[@bluelude2001]

I think that world is long gone sadly. My washer is slamming a crap ton of water into the bleach dispenser and it's over flowing and running onto the ground.

[@curiouswise9529]

Do you know what the problem could be when the washer is draining the water for a short minutes and then it begin to dispense water While and during the draining cycle and while washer is draining? Was it bc I really need to replace the water inlet or it really is something else that I need to do?

[@Sertao2013]

Hi I ran my diagnostic test and the water was running way to fast into the bleach container and its over flowing and causing it to rust everything its gets into the lip of the lid and now that's all rusted . How do I control the water flow that goes into the bleach container . In the test it runs and stops as it should its just letting to much water in to fast . The container outlets are not stopped up they are clean and open .What controls the water flow amount to each container ? The other two water flow amount is not causing the containers to over flow . I was thinking about getting a shut off valve and just putting it in the water line and closing it off till it filled the container but didn't over flow it during the test .

[@FreddyV74]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your video, got the job done luckily split!

[@chickm14]

How do you disassemble the valve to clean the crud out of it?

[@appliancepartspros]

[@diamondcojones2419]

which solenoid is the farthest one to the right? standing behind the washer.. there is a crack in the blue plastic under the solenoid and id like to know if i can atleast run the washer on either a hot or cold only wash to get by temporarily

[@carlosr6310]

Hey Matt why did you have to disconnect hoses?

[@m.m.m.c.a.k.e]

Do you have to calibrate the water level sensor?

[@reidrr41]

CAN'T GET THE UNIT MATED WITH THE 3 RUBBER HOSE IN THE MACHINE

[@robinh7267]

I can’t get the locks to release

[@twowheeler1662]

Just replaced the same inlet valve on our kenmore. Our replacement installed easily and works perfectly. Original problem code on the washer indicated a blocked inlet. After changing hoses and clearing the small metal screens, the problem remained. You could hear a wirring noise, but no water flow. It was the inlet valve assembly. Ordered a new one from Ebay. Done.

[@rookid86]

May I ask what kind of kenmore machine did you have? And what were the codes coming on? Thank you

[@anavire]

thanks for your help

[@spencerheilman5174]

Video came in clutch. My phone didn't save the picture showing the wiring.

[@appliancepartspros]

Glad we could help!

[@busara45thevillain22]

Great disguise. I wished you were the official guide to life's problems but I'm a dreamer. Couldn't be more thorough.

[@appliancepartspros]

Thanks for your feedback! We can't help you with all life's problems, but we can help with all appliance problems!

[@kwb18]

Why is mine leaking by the valve connections? Water is gushing out from the cold water side underneath the circle part by the purple connector if that makes sense.

[@barbaradelesha143]

any one have an answer to this as I also have this problem

[@FreddyV74]

my guess is bad o ring. I noticed when replacing the whole valve that they turn a little. I'm betting when that happens, the whole thing has to be replaced. I'm not sure though!

[@dougb8207]

Maybe the plastic is cracked.

[@sajjadalikhankhattak3678]

Nice Work Step by step..........

[@appliancepartspros]

Thanks. Glad we could help!

[@buildingwithjosh]

Are all the fill valves interchangeable between maytag, whirlpool, and kenmore? The reason I ask is my maytag part costs way more than a Whirlpool part. When I search part number though they both keep popping up on Google

[@dougb8207]

I wish I had seen this video before I did my project. My issue was sometimes after completing loads, the water would continue to drip. Usually another fast rinse cycle would stop the leak, but it always happened on my very last load, and the extra cycle wasted water. I tried to just replace the assembly from the back, but it wouldn't come out (I didn't know there were hose clamps underneath), so I ended up just popping off the coils and swapping the ones from the new assembly in place of the old ones. I'm hoping that fixes the problem. If there's something inside the actual sealed plastic valve open/close assembly, I'll have to go back and revisit the job.
