WP8578343 Whirlpool Valve

This Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve is located at the rear of the appliance and allows hot and cold water to fill in the washer during the cleaning cycle. If your washer isn't getting any cold or hot water, one of the solenoids in the appliance's current valve may have failed. This part may also be needed if you find that your washer is filling slowly, not filling at all or leaking cold or hot water onto the floor. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the washing machine and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washing machine or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off your hot and cold water supplies. Recommended Item: Consider replacing the Fill Hose item 8212487RP at the same time as this repair.
