You just saved me $300. I bought the part and installed it myself. My part requires two hoses inside to be connected which were each like 3 inches long. I was concerned that being 12 years old that they might crack and break as I struggled to pull them off the old part. The part was not easily accessible like yours in the video. So I disconnected the hose on the other end that attached to the machine and once I got the part further out of the washer I was able to pull off the two hoses more easily. I had to use pliers and wiggle them back and forth. It was impossible by hand. It was much easier to put in the part then it was to take out. I tested it and no leaks. I immediately did a load and it worked fine. Thank you so much for this video! You have a subscriber now.
We ran into this discovery in our whirlpool machine just this afternoon. Our unit is easily 15 years old. Thank you for showing us how to fix this. You were very eady to follow . your video was nicely made. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
I’m in the process of repairing my whirlpool washer that wasn’t taking the water away, but have found that water is also leaking into my drum. I have now replaced the water pump and think my water inlet valve has broken too. So that will be my next job. I’m also videoing both jobs for my channel that I have just started. You’re video has given me a heads up to what my problem probably is and it’s my turn to pay it forward. Cheers
Thank you for making this! Just found a leak in my own kenmore. Ordered similar part and will get to work when it comes in. Appreciate your hard work on this.
Thanks for the awesome video, this is exactly what was wrong with my Kenmore Elite QuietPak4 washer. The part that you recommended was the part I needed. The link you provided saved me some money. Thanks again for the great video.
i’m glad i found this video, our washer has the same problem and i really didn’t know how to even look for a video that would explain what was going on 😅
I won't be fixing my washing machine, which has the same problem that you addressed in this excellent video, but now I'll have knowledge and understanding of the problem and solution and therefore far less likely to be taken advantage of when I hire a professional. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
A huge Thank You to you. Because of your tutorial, I was able to resolve my issue by replacing the water valve. Thank you so much. I’m subscribed and grateful to you!
We have the exact same washer and the exact same problem. So far I have been limping along by turning the machine on to drain it before opening the door but now I see that this has the potential to flood if the machine were left off for an extended period so I am going to order the part and turn the water off when not in use. Thanks for the video!
@@handydadtv Well you haven't checked pricing lately they aren't $20 anymore. "Cheaply made" would be a better description. Anyway I had trouble confirming I was ordering the right part because the vendors give a part number but not the models it fits, so I took the top off my washer so I could visually confirm it was the right one. Oh and wouldn't you know it the shut off valves for the water supply are seized so I probably have to cut the wall open and replace those too. :-( Oh well at least the hole will be behind the washer. How on earth it was ever decided a ball valve with a flimsy tab to turn it in a plastic recess was a good idea for a washer service I will never figure out. At least a regular garden style tap can be broken free when it seizes because the knob is more robust and it has mechanical advantage. Why these stupid ball valves? How much cheaper are they really? Not going to be much cheaper over the long run now that I have to replace them. Probably I'll wait until I get all the plumbing replaced because I have the crap grey PBE plumbing so it has all got to go soon than later too. So when you add it all up, the effort to save a dollar here and a dollar there means I have to replace this part, the supply valves, and all the plumbing in my house. The world has come to a dark dark place in terms of quality and durability. I wonder how much more it would have really cost to plumb my house with copper when it was built? Stupid plastic.
@@handydadtv Well, unless you used the big ones with the sturdy handles and the valves are well screwed to the wall I can tell you what will happen when it is time to replace the machine. You'll be using the main water cut-off to the house. I also have those ball valves on my in-floor heating and none of them turn. I busted the tab off one of them by hand before I gave up and just left the system open when replacing the surge tank. The ball valves with the tabs to turn them are absolute crap. They seize up over time and the tab isn't strong enough to deal with it. If you put a wrench on it you'll just break off the tab and as I said it is possible to do that by hand as well. I have other ball valves that have a sturdy handle that bolts on, and those still work. But the ones with tabs are absolute crapolla.
Follow up: After a week for delivery and then another week arguing with FedEx because they applied the GST (I live in Canada) to the wrong account I finally got my part and the machine appears to be working again. So thanks for the video. I had my son do the installation as a learning experience since he gets no school right now. Still need to observe for a few weeks but hopefully this fixes it. If anybody else out there is reading this follow HandyDad's advice because we had it happen 3 times where the water filled up half the barrel and caused flooding twice when we opened the door (by the third time I was checking with a flashlight but still this was a problem). Once we finally got the part installation only took a little over half an hour and that was with a 14 year old doing it. Now to catch up on the laundry. That will take longer, I think. Anyway thanks HandyDad! (PS I still had to use pliers to open those stupid ball valves back up. Luckily the tabs did not break off. I don't think I'll be so lucky next time. Shut off valves should be designed with a 50 year life at least if you ask me. No point having them if they don't last longer than the washing machine or toilet or whatever.)
I agree with everybody below your video is amazing that was the part!!!! the appliance store had one left we installed the part and it works perfectly ..👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 SIMPLE fix. patting myself on the back for the challenge and not calling a service repair man.... saving money 💰 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻and learning.
Thanks a lot, it is a very helpfull video for us! 👍👍👍 This is the problem we too had in our washer, by watching this we understood the problem!! So thanks a lot again for this video🙂🙂
I have an old Whirlpool Duet front load that filled-up while not being used. Was fixing to order the fill valve tomorrow morning, BUT, while reviewing some additional videos, I did discover there is an additional part that can cause the fill valve to malfunction... it's the pressure switch AND possibly the pressure switch "air" hose that degrades and gets pin holes in it over the years. The hose goes from the switch to the washer tub and monitors the "pressure" as the tank fills. The reading is taken by the pressure switch which informs the fill valve to open or close. SO, the fill valve can be good and is staying open due to an incorrect reading from the pressure switch, which could be from faulty OR a bad air hose... Dagnabit...!!
I woke up with water dripping out onto the floor. I used the washer yesterday for two loads and everything was fine. This morning I had a water on my floor. I googled it to see what’s up with the washer and I got this video. I have a different brand but the same techniques apply. I should get my replacement water this Friday. My washer is a 2004 Whirlpool.
GREAT video! I've been looking for the solution to this problem and the solution is so well explained here. I think I could do it and save a bunch of money but I'm a single lady and can't unstack the dryer so my plumber is probably going to get a new job 😭
It's sad that a part like that tears up so often (I have heard this is a common problem).. cheaply made. Thanks for the great info. I too like to fix it myself.
Thank you for the video explanation. I had the same issue with my washing machine. This was the second time I've replaced the water inlet valve and your video pinpointed the second time I had to replace it. Thanks!
great video! we came home from vacation with this problem! water all over the washroom floor from the washing machine overflow! nice to know its fixable!..thankyou!
Thank you for sharing this. I have the same problem with a front loader washer - I do not know if this is the fix or not but it is great info to consider while troubleshooting!!!
My mom Washer just started doing the same thing when not in use! Water is leaking inside filling the drum! I’m quite sure that’s the same problem but she has a Samsung vrt front loader! I’ll be taking hers apart this weekend! Thanks a lot
And I forgot to mention those washers are equipped with a sensor. So when the water gets too high it pulls it out of the drum automatically like a built in sump pump so it doesn’t overflow out onto the floor unless that feature doesn’t work!
I went in my kitchen about 5am to get a drink and noticed a small amout of water at the bottom of washing machine on the floor... i didnt notice the drum was full up with water and opened the door to look inside and got a big surprise when the water gushed out, i had trouble pushing the door shut because i wasn't expecting the drum to be full, i hadnt used the machine 4 or 5 days so i guess me inlet valve is also faulty because the drum was full up, maybe it was so full that it started backing up in the water tray and leaking onto the floor, a quick search online and it appers my inlet valve looks very similar to yours. Thanks for the video
Thanks so much for this video. Daughter went down to laundry room the other day and water was pouring out of our open front loader onto the floor. Will do some troubleshooting to verify this is the problem, fingers crossed, because this looks like a pretty easy fix!
My new washing is less than a week old having this issue I will be getting in-touch with the manufacturer to sort this out we only have one water hose which is cold here in the Uk
Exactly our problem. Washer/dryer came with the house we bought 3 years ago. Sometimes there would be little puddles but recently when I opened the washer to do a load, water flowed out all over the room!! It just randomly does this. So, I will have my husband take a look at this video & we'll check the link you provided. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! If it's as straight forward as it seems, I may not hate my front loader anymore.
Check your pump filter for socks or anything else blocking drainage. Was getting water in the drum and found the pump filter clogged. Unclogged it and it works fine.
Thanks for the post and link to the part. Your video will come in handy if we need to do the same fix on our Whirlpool. Just found a large amount of water on the laundry room floor this morning. Thought it was a leak from somewhere else I'm monitoring but it wasn't for the next thought was the washing machine and since I didn't see anything on the back, figured it was underneath until I noticed a steady drip coming out the front which we leave open to air out. Drum was completely overflowing. While dealing with a hot water heater leak and removing the tank and leaving the hot side open, I turned off the hot water to the washing machine so I could still run it... on cold only. I'm assuming that is still not good because I got a couple F20 errors and now this happened so I'm wondering if that lack of pressure on the hot water side is messing with the solenoids functioning properly. Time will tell. I think it took a day to fill so if it is still leaking, probably won't see anything in the drum for many hours.
Fill valves could be not in good condition so try check them and check fill hose connected to drawer or check if u have ur pump blocked my washer does sane thing thx go my Don noticing it
Also looks like where the internal hose connects to the washing machine, on the white plastic? part, there are built up or wet lint looking stuff. My OCD alarm was tingling after I saw it.
Almost the exact problem happened to my washer, I was not getting any Hot water and it would leak. I found the valve myself an fixed it myself with help from RUclips videos. Mine only cost me $12 with new valve from Ebay.
Hey, I have an LG washing machine with the same problem would that part work for this machine or is this a different issue? Cus I think this leeks when in use and when it just sits.
Hello, I have the EXACT same washer and had water in drum just as you did. I drained the water. Ran a cycle and it has been 5 hours and no water is accumulating in drum. Any ither reason that could have occurred?
Sir, As you suggested, I have been watching the machine. Turns out, since we last corresponded, it happened two more times. Even though we did about 10 loads of laundry. I discovered that if the drum has a particular position with a certain side down (only this particular side), water seems UP. And not always right away. Once happend 24 hrs. later - as we check after every wash. So, I drained the water through the line below and checked the filter. No real dirt to speak of on the filter. Any more suggestions?
I have the same problem, the reason why I searched this video. The issue and its solution is well explained. Tha k you. I am going to try it and I will be back with results ( 13-12-2023)
Hi 👋 Are there any other reasons for this backflow into the machine? I put drain clearer down and put a cleanser through on a hot wash 1 week later the machine is full of rancid water. It's insured and had an engineer out but machine is still flooding. Any advice would be appreciated. It's an Indesit. Thanks.
Could be the problem , I would have checked the valve for continuity to make sure it is a bad valve. Sometimes the water connection is just loose or it is a case of low pressure and washing machine is filling up when not in use so I would check supply line. Other than that a good diy if it is 100% a valve issue

Thank you! Hopefully I can fix my KENMORE HE4 washer that’s doing this exact thing!

It’s not hard. Anyone can do it.
If this is an issue...please shut water off when not used...until fixed..on and off..real simple..dont get water damage to home over a simple temp fix
I've shut my water off untill I ordered part but the machine still fills up somehow even after I turned bother valves off
The valve can’t be off. It might be leaking too, or not turned off tightly enough.

I have the same issue, I'm assuming you can test it by taking it apart and seeing if the valve drains into a bucket over time when off?
If you want. I just replaced it and moved on.
Very helpful, thank you
Great DIY vid. Thanks
Thanks
Where can I find the part? My same washer just started doing this thanks for the awesome video.
Check the video description
Very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
I would’ve loved to see how you took the dryer off the top of the washer.
Sorry, no can do. I moved and left those appliances.
Any way to test to see if that’s the problem or faulty part mentioned????
It’s the only valve. If you have this problem, replace the valve.
Fill valves could be not in good condition so try check them and check fill hose connected to drawer or check if u have ur pump blocked my washer does sane thing thx go my Don noticing it
Thanks
Good job sir
Thanks 😊
Wow too good😊😊😊
Thanks 😊
Thanks so much. My exact problem.
...ugh.. can you come over to fix it? Lol
Sadly no. You’re on your own. But anyone can do this. Even if you need to buy tools, it’ll be cheaper than a service call.
Also looks like where the internal hose connects to the washing machine, on the white plastic? part, there are built up or wet lint looking stuff. My OCD alarm was tingling after I saw it.
Mine is a speed queen and is doing the same thing. I wonder if this could be my problem? Dose anyone know???
Yes, regardless of brand. They all have an electric valve.
I wonder if my LG washer has a similar part? Same issue.
You’ll need to open it or find a parts diagram to be sure.
Almost the exact problem happened to my washer, I was not getting any Hot water and it would leak. I found the valve myself an fixed it myself with help from RUclips videos. Mine only cost me $12 with new valve from Ebay.
Awesome! I didn’t shop around.
Great video, I liked the Amazon part it was $60.00 cheap.
Hey, I have an LG washing machine with the same problem would that part work for this machine or is this a different issue? Cus I think this leeks when in use and when it just sits.
No idea. Look up the part to be sure.
Hello, I have the EXACT same washer and had water in drum just as you did. I drained the water. Ran a cycle and it has been 5 hours and no water is accumulating in drum. Any ither reason that could have occurred?
I’m not sure. Just keep an eye on it.
And turn off the valves before going away.
Sir, As you suggested, I have been watching the machine. Turns out, since we last corresponded, it happened two more times. Even though we did about 10 loads of laundry. I discovered that if the drum has a particular position with a certain side down (only this particular side), water seems UP. And not always right away. Once happend 24 hrs. later - as we check after every wash. So, I drained the water through the line below and checked the filter. No real dirt to speak of on the filter. Any more suggestions?
I can’t explain why it’s random, but I bet replacing the valve will fix it.
Thx! U were right!
I have the same problem, the reason why I searched this video. The issue and its solution is well explained. Tha k you. I am going to try it and I will be back with results ( 13-12-2023)
Good luck 👍🏻
Does this work for a Duet front loader? There was so much water in the washer it was dripping out of the tumbler!!!!! Thanks!!
I don’t know. You need to find the part number.
I have the same problem at the moment and surfing the net to see what it could be as I keep finding water in my washing machine
This will probably work for you.
Good video man thank you for sharing 👍
You’re welcome 👍🏻
Would it not be necessary to mark which electrical connector goes to hot and to cold?
They are color coded.
Ya that was really helpful thanks mste
Glad it was helpful
Hi 👋 Are there any other reasons for this backflow into the machine? I put drain clearer down and put a cleanser through on a hot wash 1 week later the machine is full of rancid water. It's insured and had an engineer out but machine is still flooding. Any advice would be appreciated. It's an Indesit.
Thanks.
Did you try replacing the valve like I did?
This is the problem i am having with my whirlpool. Would you recommend the same process?
Yes
Could be the problem , I would have checked the valve for continuity to make sure it is a bad valve. Sometimes the water connection is just loose or it is a case of low pressure and washing machine is filling up when not in use so I would check supply line. Other than that a good diy if it is 100% a valve issue
