Kenmore 80 Series Washer Water Inlet Valve Replacement

Inleiding

Here is a replacement guide for a faulty water inlet valve in a Kenmore 80 Series Washer. The water inlet valve connects the two water hoses to the machine and controls the flow of both hot and cold water to the washing machine. There are some issues that arise from a faulty water inlet valve such as the cold/hot water not turning off, the wash tub won’t stop filling with water, the washer starts draining before the wash cycle starts, or the wash tub won’t fill with water. In order to correct any one of these issues, replacement of the water inlet valve is necessary.

Nice but you did not share the most complicated part. putting the shell back on. its not just simple. corner slots, getting all slots aligned without damaging the inlet dispenser above the tub. then having the front side seat on the frame. i have spent more time and frustration on getting the shell back on verses the entire valve replacement.
