KitchenAid Washer Parts Valve & Float

This Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve lets the hot and cold water into your washing machine and distributes it around to the dispensers. If the valve is leaking or the soleno ...ids are damaged and water isn't coming in, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. Usually, a long or slow fill cycle is often due to a restricted water valve. To access the part, after shutting off the water supply, remove the hot and cold fill hoses (usually labeled "H" and "C") at the back of the machine from the valve. Be sure to set a towel down to catch any water. You'll then remove the top panel of the washer. Please note: The valve should never be disassembled and cleaned, only replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies.
