Setup and Installation

Follow these steps carefully to replace your washing machine's water inlet valve.

Step 1: Preparation and Safety

  1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the washing machine from the electrical outlet.
  2. Turn Off Water Supply: Close the hot and cold water supply valves connected to the washing machine.
  3. Drain Water: Disconnect the hot and cold water hoses from the back of the washer and drain any residual water into a bucket.
  4. Access Panel: Depending on your washer model, you may need to remove the back panel or top panel to access the water inlet valve. Refer to your specific washer's service manual for panel removal instructions.

Step 2: Removing the Old Water Inlet Valve

  1. Disconnect Hoses: Disconnect any internal hoses or tubes connected to the old water inlet valve. Be prepared for minor water spills.
  2. Disconnect Electrical Connectors: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the solenoids on the old valve. Note their positions for reinstallation.
  3. Remove Mounting Screws: Unscrew any mounting screws or clips securing the old water inlet valve to the washer frame.
  4. Remove Valve: Carefully remove the old water inlet valve from the washing machine.

Step 4: Final Steps and Testing

  1. Reinstall Panels: Reattach any access panels that were removed.
  2. Reconnect Water Hoses: Reconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses to the back of the washer. Hand-tighten, then use pliers for an additional quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
  3. Restore Water Supply: Slowly open the hot and cold water supply valves. Check for any leaks around the connections.
  4. Restore Power: Plug the washing machine back into the electrical outlet.
  5. Test Operation: Run a short wash cycle to verify proper water fill, temperature mixing, and leak-free operation.

Operating Instructions (Post-Installation)

After successful installation, the water inlet valve operates automatically as part of your washing machine's normal cycle. No manual operation of the valve itself is required.

  • Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open for proper temperature mixing.
  • Monitor the first few wash cycles for any unusual noises, leaks, or incorrect water filling.

Maintenance

The M93DVN Water Inlet Valve is designed for durability and minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can help ensure its longevity and optimal performance:

  • Inspect Hoses: Periodically check the water supply hoses for cracks, bulges, or leaks. Replace them if any damage is observed.
  • Clean Inlet Screens: The valve features inlet screens (red for hot, blue for cold) to filter sediment. If water flow becomes restricted, turn off water and power, disconnect hoses, and clean these screens.
  • Check for Leaks: Regularly inspect the area around the valve and hose connections for any signs of water leaks.
