Before ordering:
-
Verify your washer’s model number and serial number to ensure correct part.
-
Compare the existing valve’s connection style (threaded inlet, mounting flange, number of solenoids) to ensure it matches.
-
If the water supply hoses, pressure switches or control board are also showing faults, replacing the valve alone may not fully restore normal operation—consult a technician if multiple symptoms persist.
