Thank you for your video! Two daughters watched, tore apart, put back together and fixed for our aging parents. God bless!

Thanks man! Had water dripping in the tub. Wife was already looking for new ones. You made me look like a hero and i saved a boat load of money!

Glad I could help!

Listen, I believe in giving a guy credit when it's due....and you deserve plenty!!!! I was struggling to find a video my washer AND instructions on how to get the console off. You did both and then some....I owe you a beer (and a few bucks)! You saved my wallet a few dollars. Thanks!

Thank you sir.

[@marinasullivan3714]

Please help I have this same exact washer, it smells bad and I know the water doesn't completely drain out I can move the tub and I hear water swishing in there. I told the repair man about this and he acted like that it's normal and didn't do anything about it and is there a filter I need to check?

[@desireeturner5165]

You explained this wonderfully! My washer stopped filling up with water and kept giving me LF error! I ordered the part off amazon and saved the video for when it gets here! Thank you so much

[@rican8316]

Did it work?

[@loish4235]

Thank you. I have the exact same washer/problem. Called a repairman and it was going to be $300+ now I'll just fix it myself. You're a wallet saver, thank you from a single mom needing to save money.

[@stevescoolstuff126]

[@rosessonata8326]

Same! Single mom here and this video really helped!

[@autistic.tones.]

This was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you for sharing a detailed step by step tutorial

[@TheGreatGastronaut]

Kudos and thanks. This was spot on. Those top console tabs were a b%$ch to pop off. I didn’t have enough strength in my fingers to compress them, so instead I was able to push one end with a screwdriver from the top by removing the metal back of the console. It was held with 5 quarter inch hex screws. That seemed a lot easier to see, plus no contortion under the lid and behind the basket. The oem valve was $26 next day delivery from Amazon with 10 year guarantee. Maytag wanted $112 plus shipping. My Maytag model was MVWB865GW0 and looked identical to the one in the video. The machine was only 3 years old when the hot water valve started leaking because it wasn’t completely shutting off. This new machine replaced a 35 year old Kenmore that I took out of service still working perfectly as a gift to the queen to modernize. She wants to kill me now. This top of the line Maytag doesn’t clean as well, leaves soap in the clothes and was very expensive. The only repair I made to the Kenmore was to replace the mechanical timer unit that wore out after about 25 years. I could have replaced the mechanical transmission, bearings and motor and had plenty of money left over. Now I know why laundromats keep the old mechanical machines. The new ones suck.

[@marisolcarbajal4153]

Excellent job on your video! Watching video helped me get our Maytag washer back in service with your handy tips on water inlet valve repair. I found cold water valve not opening all the way so I swapped control wires to warm water valve and now washer is filling correctly. Keep up the good work! Thanks!

[@thebeggarsbest]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Washer fixed for $34 and took 15 minutes.

[@ucfkid67]

This chap is a lifesaver. Criminally underrated

[@docb2753]

Great video! Based on the comments these inlet valves go bad a lot so you are saving people a lot of money. A lot of people have had a problem getting the wire connectors off and I came close to giving up because I couldn't get any of them off no matter how much I wiggled and pulled. I finally used a fairly large flat head screwdriver right up in that gap in the middle and gave it a couple of gentle taps with a hammer and they came right off.

[@thehigginsfam]

Thanks. Had the same issue and the video is frustrating when he pre-loosened them.

[@chrissyfox8993]

THANK YOU!

[@fjassojr]

Thanks to this video my wife and I were able to correctly diagnose and fix the leaking issue in our washer. It was squealing and leaking water whenever the water ran and when we removed it we found out that it was filled with sediment and debris. Very helpful video that helped save us a few hundred bucks. Thanks again.

[@stevescoolstuff126]

Glad to help.

[@myutoobname]

I have a Bravos XL washer and looks just like your commercial one and I have the same leak. I found your video helpful to get the control panel off. Got my part ordered from your link and had a coupon code for 10% off on the page to apply to it as well. Thank you for your video!

[@stevescoolstuff126]

Glad to help.

[@EBair]

Yeah i got the same washer, transmission and water inlet valve went out within 4 years. Thanks for the video, this will help

[@keithbruce5588]

Great video!!! The only thing I would add is to hook the water lines back up and turn the water on before placing the control panel back on and run a cycle and check for leaks around the new water inlet because the new one I recieved was defective causing it to leak water. Could cost you a small fortune in water damage to your floor if you dont check it for a leak. Again very useful video.

[@themarksmann]

The Bravos XL and some other commercial HE models are the same layout (Mine is MVW765FW0) and this video was so helpful! While we didn't have a leak, we got the LF error and no water was coming in. Upon inspection, the input lines were working but we found the cold cylinder valve had a slight crack in it and would fail diagnostics. Replacing the water inlet valves did the trick!!! Thanks again.

[@stevescoolstuff126]

Glad I could help .

[@user-uv3kd5ut6v]

Thanks for this Video! I would never have found how to access the water inlet valves. The hard part was to get the wire connectors off without damaging them. My washer would only let a small amount of water in. I replaced the water valve and that fixed it.

[@stevescoolstuff126]

Glad I could help!

[@carrigan1412]

For those struggling to get the connectors off, I took a tiny flathead and put it on the top of the connector where it looks like a white "T" and tapped on the back end of the screwdriver. Only thing that worked to get those off. Wiggling wasn't cutting it.

[@MAYDAYES]

Where do I get the model serial number from?

[@MAYDAYES]

[@projectfreedom9510]

Bro, super appreciate you showing us this. Really helpful. I have this same washer. I was looking for something to do and wanted to do maintenance to the washer.

[@robertberger4137]

Thanks for the vid. My machine wouldn’t fill, showing a LF error code. It would shut down. I ordered a replacement water valve (Amazon for around $40) and installed it in about 20 minutes. Next time it’ll take half that time. Biggest challenge was releasing the clips (couldn’t get my paws up in there so carefully used a blade from the top to release). It now works. I loved saving the $300 + it would have cost otherwise.

[@stevescoolstuff126]

Glad to help !

[@cjr4497]

Yeah, I have a Whirlpool washer and the inlet valve goes out annually. The warranty is over so I will have to replace on my own now. Nice video!

Finally ! Took forever to find a video with my exact washer ( most didn’t have agitator) I researched how to put in test mode & water ran with each selection unfortunately no matter what setting I use or what tricks I try the water level won’t even halfway cover my clothes. Even after a full cycle they’re covered in lint & powder v

[@manders78]

I have the same issue as well since it was brand new it just does not put enough water into the basin even with Max fill setting. I literally have to put in 4 gallons of hot water on top of the dry clothes before I start the cycle or it will not wash the clothes What a piece of junk this machine is.

You don’t have to reach under and “squeeze those pins” to take the control panel off. You can just slide a putty knife under the corners of the control panel and it will roll rite up.

[@janebeasley8213]

Another guy used a butter knife which is longer & thinner, worked perfectly!!

A few months later (if that long) you notice water leaking from the same exact spot. Just a Hint from a 30+ year technician. Add a little O-ring lubricant to the black seals where they go into the water distribution channels. They'll seat easier and prevent having to replace the inlet valve again, lol.

[@bslj1998]

Great explanation! Those wires are super hard to disconnect though. Thanks!!

found water in the same place u did and traced it back...grommets seem ok but rplcing whole valve anyway...thanks for the vid and sharing. I hope this will fix the issue. I had taped paper towels around every other valve and hose connection and when i didn't find them wet all and traced the drops i knew this had to be the place. Some times it would leak and then go weeks without any issue.

Great video. I purchased the water inlet valve and was able to try and replace it. The problem I was having trouble with is that the rubber gaskets seem like they are not fitting in well. They push up further on the piece, so I tried taking them off and putting them in the holes. Then I put the inlet valve on. It pushed one of them in further and when I turned it on, both ways, I got water spurting out. Any suggestions?

[@donsmith9478]

My Maytag is model MVW6230HW2 bought in 2022 and installed on March 1. The valve started spewing water from the hot side where the hose attaches to the valve. The plastic was cracked. I ordered a replacement valve, installed it, and then ran a test load. Water was slowly dripping down the back of the washer when it was filling and rinsing. I removed the new valve and discovered that the middle port did not exactly match up with the hole, and the rubber grommet was not doing its job of providing a leak-free connection. I have contacted the seller about the problem. Maybe I'll get a refund. The middle port on my original valve is equal in distance from the two outer ports, but the replacement valve is off center by about a millimeter, maybe less. Now I am waiting for replies as to the spacing of the ports from other brands so I can order a valve that actually fits.
