Installation Guide

This section outlines the general steps for replacing a washer water inlet valve. Specific procedures may vary slightly depending on your washing machine model. Refer to your washer's service manual for detailed instructions if available.

Tools Required:

• Screwdriver (Phillips and/or Flathead)
• Pliers or Adjustable Wrench
• Bucket and Towels (for water drainage)
• Work Gloves

Step-by-Step Installation:

1. Prepare the Washer:
   • Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.
   • Turn off the hot and cold water supply faucets connected to the washer.
   • Disconnect the hot and cold water inlet hoses from the back of the washer. Have a bucket and towels ready to catch any residual water.
   • Carefully pull the washer away from the wall to access the rear panel.
2. Access the Inlet Valve:
   • Locate and remove the screws securing the rear access panel of the washing machine. Set the panel aside.
   • Identify the water inlet valve, typically located near where the water hoses connect.
3. Disconnect the Old Valve:
   • Disconnect the electrical wire harness from the solenoid terminals on the old valve.
   • Loosen and remove any clamps or screws securing the internal water dispenser hoses to the valve.
   • Remove the mounting screws or clips that hold the valve to the washer frame.
   • Carefully remove the old water inlet valve from the washer.
4. Install the New Valve:
   • Position the new Owigift water inlet valve in the same location as the old one.
   • Secure the new valve to the washer frame using the mounting screws or clips.
   • Reconnect the internal water dispenser hoses to the new valve, ensuring they are securely clamped.
   • Attach the electrical wire harness to the solenoid terminals on the new valve. Ensure connections are firm.
5. Reassemble and Test:
   • Replace the rear access panel and secure it with its screws.
   • Push the washer back into its original position.
   • Reconnect the hot and cold water inlet hoses to the new valve's threaded ports. Hand-tighten first, then use pliers or a wrench for a snug fit, but do not overtighten.
   • Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply faucets and check for any leaks at the hose connections.
   • Plug the washing machine back into the electrical outlet.
   • Run a short wash cycle to confirm proper water fill and operation. Check for leaks again during the cycle.
