Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Washer And Shut Off The Water Unplug the washer and shut off the hot and cold water supplies before you start. Water can remain in the hoses and valve, so have towels ready. Take a photo of the hose and wiring connections before disconnecting anything, then transfer them to the new valve in the same positions. Turn the water back on slowly and check for leaks before using the washer.

Is this the hot or cold water valve?
This is the cold water inlet valve. The hot water valve is a separate part with a different part number.
