This is a replacement water inlet valve for your washer. The water inlet valve in your washer connects to the water source and solenoid wires, and ensures the tub has the right amount of water entering it. If your washing machine continues to fill after it is full, or if it fills slowly, you may need to replace this valve. A leaking washer could also be an indicator of a damaged water inlet valve. Before you begin this repair, be sure to disconnect the water and power sources from your washer. This part is sold individually.
