The hardest part of the project was moving the washing machine away from the wall to work on it because it is sitting on a platform. We had to build some falsework out in front of the platform to pull the machine on to get sufficient clearance. It was a simple matter of removing the hoses and back plate, then removing the valve, water inlet & thermistor assembly. We found a replacement on eReplacementparts in about five minutes and ordered it. Installing the new part was a matter of attaching the electrical connections and hose, then reinstalling the back plate and hoses. A quick test confirmed all was well, and we successfully re-slid the machine back on the platform. The part ran about $80 and was a lot cheaper than calling the appliance dealer to send a guy out. eReplacement parts has saved us a lot of money on different repairs over the years, plus there is always the satisfaction of making something work again with one's own hands.

I set up on wooden blocks to take the back of the washer off to get to the valve, the other washer I lend it back to the wall to get to the motor to put the joint in between the transmission of the washer, it worked out pretty good
