After a recent move, my not-so-old washer was dripping a bit of water in the tub. A little bit of Googling led me to get a new water inlet valve (A lot of folks describe it as valve solenoids). This thing worked perfect and installed in a cinch.
I did have a bit of a panic though once I got it in and tried to connect it up. My washer required a different connection, but I was relieved to see the shipment came with an adapter.
I noticed on the adapter that the click-lock-tab thing that holds it in to the socket wasn't completely formed perfectly and I had to use an X-Acto knife to open it up so it'd lock into place. If I didn't "adjust" the adapter plug like this it wouldn't have snapped into the connector.
Also, prepare for the sound of the water to be a bit different. not sure if my old one was clogged with hard water or what, but installing this new one has a louder filling sound. I'd venture to guess it fills much faster, too.
