How (and WHY) to replace water inlet valve Amana washing machine

I Just fixed my Amana washer after watching this video. Less than five minutes to fix. Thank you.

If you have rusty water, you can try cleaning the inlet valves out and reinstalling. I use lysol black toilet bowl cleaner get it inside and on the outside hookups (where the hoses hook to) rinse it all out, make sure the solenoid things are dry, and put it back in. I have to pull ours and clean it every couple months (it between then i have to switch hose sides) because it's completely orange and water flow is blocked. I so so so appreciate this video, because I was looking all over youtube and having a heck of a time. Your video was the clearest, easy to follow, just thank you so much! ❤️ I just had to pull it up again last night because I couldn't remember how to take the top part off, and then ended up cheating and using Allen key torx bits to get those screws off without taking the top panel off. It was a pain tho. Much easier doing it your way, I was being lazy. Lol

Had the exact same problem - hot water would fill washer but not cold. Replaced water intake valve, followed instructions, and voila - fixed 😊

Your video helped and saved money possible for thousands of other people. My washer is only 4 years old, but hard water. It took me 30 mins and one broken clip, but all is good

Our Amana washing machine only worked on the cold cycle. The hot cycle would fill up very slowly, then drain and stop. Replacing the inlet valve fixed the problem. Thank you! This worked great and your step by step instructions were perfect.

Thank you! This is a million times more helpful than anything in the Amana owners manual, website, or the Amana YouTube! I've been trying bro sort through the bullshit for 2 days now and finally came up on your video

Thank you so much for making this video! I was able to fix my washer all by myself using your instructions!

Bought my new home and it came with this dryer . For some reason the water would not fill . It would start a bit then stop. I was literally going to go buy a whole now washer. Something told me to come to YouTube and I stumbled upon your video . I followed what you did step by step . I purchased the new valve from Amazon . Now my washer is working . I’m just lost for words . I am not handy ATALL Lol . But following you I was able to fix the washer. . I am so grateful for this video . I can’t thank you enough . As a single mom of 4 , you saved me so much money . Thank you so much . !!! I could cry tears of joy right now . 😢❤

4 years later and you've been a huge help, much appreciated man

I cannot THANK YOU enough! I have the EXACT SAME washer as you do, and the exact same problem lol. I will be ordering the part later today and then coming back to your video to help me install it. Thanks a ton for the clear, easy step by step instructions that’ll save me from having to buy another washing machine! You’re a life saver!

It does that on both the hot and cold. I knew it had to be the water intake valve, but your video showed me that I'm right. I will be ordering the part, and now I know how to install it. Thank you so much. Hopefully, by the time I have the cast off my left hand, my part will be here. Just to let you know I'm a 66 yr old great grandmother that fixes everything

bro you are so awesome, thank you for this. the part was $27 on amazon and took 15 minutes to replace. worked perfectly! this saved me from having to buy a new washer, and this one is only 4 years old. thanks again!

Thank you so much! I was able to fix my washer using this video! Your instructions were easy to follow. I ordered the part and once it came I fixed my washer in just a few minutes. Thanks!!!

Just switched this in my Amanda washer thanks to your vid! It solved the problem and now the washer is working again, thank you!

BROTHA!!!! I sensed to have the same problem you described, and bought the part and followed your easy clear instructions....it works! You just saved the day and saved me $$$. Thank you sir!!!

Thank you, same Amana washer. This explained how to take the top off easier. My town has hard water and only moved home for a year as the cold water crapped out.

Thanks man! I'm just a young person helping my old parents survive this crappy world. I didnt know how to do this and didnt want to buy a new washer! You saved my life and my washer!

Thanks for this video! I was bracing myself to have to buy a new washer and hoping Black Friday sales would be kind, but after watching your video, I realized I could fix the problem with a $25 part and half an hour. Now my washer runs good as new!

Mine just quit this morning. Thanks for posting this! Looks very easy to do. In the meantime I'll just switch my hoses so I can get laundry done until the part gets here :)

Thank you. My washer now works again. Your video was easy to follow and my new one did have different plugs so I was ready for that.
