My washer was filling so slowly that it would partially fill, then drain - never actually running the wash cycle. I had to fill the tub with a hose from the garage to do laundry. We purchased a new valve from Amazon - it would not work - so did the vinegar trick on the old one. By standing the unit up in an ice cream pail, we were able to pour vinegar directly into the valves and used the strong magnet tip to move the pistons back and forth. We continued to refill the valves with vinegar until the pistons moved freely. Ended up using less than 1/4 cup of vinegar and maybe 10-15 minutes. The washer is working better than it ever has since purchasing the house two years ago! Thank you Josh for posting your solution - the defective Amazon part will be returned so this fix ended up costing only a few cents for the vinegar!! Woo hoo!!!

[@joshcobb4100]

Yay! Glad it worked for you!! I use this trick all the time.

[@rosebatista8193]

Well I will definitely do it. The new part costs $95 so it's definitely worth a try

[@melvin1048]

Was going to replace valve until I watched video of how to fix dripping electric water fill valve for whirlpool washing machine., Thank you.

[@thanglongnguyen3327]

I have May Tag Bravos XL top load . It has the same problem but I’m glad to watch this video. Thanks for sharing

[@brianwalk108]

Nicely done, thanks for sharing!

[@pj-light-glass]

Makes sense, especially with the hard water that crusts up everything. Thanks for posting this.

[@gwaeron8630]

Fixed my Fisher & Paykel using some Calcium Lime Rust remover. A little in each inlet and 5 minutes later works like a charm.

[@Cappilot1]

Good idea. Thx

[@robertpiontkowski2164]

Did you ever make the disassembly video??

[@corey333p]

Yeah I would like to see that right now

[@haciendadad]

Thank you sir! I'll have to try that this weekend. 🙂

[@rosebatista8193]

Exactly what I was looking for

[@pj-light-glass]

Good job!! Thanks!

[@carlmorrow3229]

I took it a step further. Instead of taking it all apart I took water lines off, drained the water and filled with CLR. Re hooked em up turned on for a second then turned off so CLR would set in there. Repeated a couple times and voila.

[@joshcobb4100]

Nice!! How long did you have to let the CLR soak?

[@carlmorrow3229]

15 min. Repeated like 3 times. Then washed some towels. Been fine so far

[@sadiemerath2734]

Hi, how long exactly did you turn on the water after filling the hoses with CLR? Was it literally like 1 sec? I want to avoid turning it on for too long that the CLR surpasses the water valve. Thank you in advance, this is tremendously helpful!

Check out my new video with a new, easier process I use now. Washer Drip Fix - Not Filling Fix - Water Inlet Valve Fix! Free and Easy Fix! | Josh Cobb kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXTOmmd3aNmfj7M

[@tantang1715]

thank you very much .

[@maxoverridemax]

Tip you can do kind of the same thing on a coffee pot. Use a 50% mix. Half white vinegar and half tap water running through the coffee maker like 4 time.

[@lucindarobayo7788]

I have this same model you did the video on. I will definatly try this. It is a pain when you don't remove the cloths as soon as the load finishes and when you go back later everything is saturated with water from the drip and then you have to respin it out.

[@joshcobb4100]

Yep.

[@user-mz7pw4bo3w]

I actually just used some canned air and sprayed some electrical cleaner with lube into the water inlets after doing so I have no leak on my Kenmore 600 series top load washer and without taking it all apart.

[@darkboot100]

Nice! yea our well was kicking a lot of sand through our system so new well. But now we have the same problem. Washer is dripping pretty steadily. Also tonight for some reason the rinse cycle came on by itself! May call our guy, I think more going on than the valve.

[@joshcobb4100]

👻👻👻

[@billsmith1770]

1/2 vinegar 1/2 peroxide works a lot better on hard water/calcium buildup .

[@joshcobb4100]

I’ve never heard of that, I’ll have to give it a shot! Thanks for the tip!

[@swatter9094]

Josh, did you produce the video on how to take it apart from scratch as you mentioned? I have an LG top loader that is dripping and would like to try this technique but not sure how to start.

[@joshcobb4100]

I haven’t gotten another LG in yet. I did one a few days ago, but it won’t tell you much on the LG model it was for a whirlpool

[@DBs58]

Great video..wish I could find your break-down video...🤔

[@johangarciavanegas2535]

I have this same washer machine and I am getting water dripping from the back at the top. I believe is this same part? Can someone confirm? Also, can you make a video on how to do the work from scratch?

[@akanesoratobu8889]

mine had the same issue . But its unfortunate cause my washer is brand new not even a month old and its doing that already

[@NickkaDUB]

Yeah mine is a only few months old. Maybe 5-6..

[@darrylt1031]

HOLY CRAP!!!.....good video.....LOL.....

[@susannordaune3601]

I have that problem. I have water in the drum. I have an LG is there a way I can drain by pushing a button or manually draining

[@joshcobb4100]

Try a drain and spin cycle. If you have only rinse and spin, try holding the spin button to get a drain and spin only cycle.

[@rosebatista8193]

Hey I already have the part pulled off the washing machine. Pls another video on how to remove the sensors. They are very stuck there and I'm afraid to break them

[@joshcobb4100]

Just be careful and wiggle them off, look for plastic tabs holding them in place. They slide off easily when broken loose or tab released.

[@angeladawson3053]

My brand new machine is dripping so there can't be calcification. But this is good to know.

[@joshcobb4100]

It is possible there was some debris in the water lines if you didn’t flush them before you hooked your washer up. So it may not be calcification but it could be debris nonetheless. This trick should fix it either way. Good luck!

[@angeladawson3053]

@@joshcobb4100 There was some sand in the pipe. Repairman cleared it out.

[@carlmorrow3229]

Yes just long enough to hear the water kick on then I repeated the process a few times

[@NEVERSLOWDOWN-NEVERGROWOLD]

i have a whirlpool washer that was stopped up with sand and gravel from decades of community well water wells going down and coming back online after repair. I couldnt get the screens out of the inlets without destroying them. I blame it on the build up but.. u know. So i left the screens off and after i put the hoses back on and ran a test load, I have that leak you had. In the morn im gonna try descaling that plunger like you did. I dont wanna spend 50 bucks on this. Hell im not gonna be too happy if i gotta go get vinager

[@joshcobb4100]

Honestly, in your situation with the well water, you’re probably gonna have to replace the inlet which would come with new screens. For future reference, those screens can be bought in multiples on Amazon for pretty cheap. I don’t even try to take them out without destroying them lol.

[@NEVERSLOWDOWN-NEVERGROWOLD]

@joshcobb4100 thanks man. Wish the news was a little better. Either way, now that you showed me whats inside the inlet I know I do need to replace those screens even if I manage to make it ride as is. Thanks for the video and the advice.

[@jonifoote8169]

We are having this problem, but also was hearing a swishing sound & came in to hear that my washer, totally off at the time & lid open, was making a swishing sound like it was running a cycle

[@joshcobb4100]

Electrical issue with control board

[@beasertin9582]

Please provide the post showing how to disconnect and access the part - that's not obvious to me. Many thanks!

[@joshcobb4100]

Will do!

[@sonny2435]

Excitable Lil Minx, :>))

[@johnwellbrock70]

Could one just fill that with vinegar with a hose and funnel and use the solenoid to open and close the valve without tearing it down? I think I’ll Try that first…

[@joshcobb4100]

Let me know!!

[@esmeraldacovarrubias5558]

@johnwellbrock70 How did it go any update how you did it? I’m having issues with mine but I’m afraid of pulling it apart .

[@danaortega6873]

Why not use CLR

[@joshcobb4100]

To thick...tried it. I supposed if you watered it down...but vinegar works best I have found.

[@robertclark4929]

You spent 50.00 on a 50.00 washer.
