Had water dripping into the tub for a few days...decided to put a bucket in the tub to see just how much.. 5 gallon bucket filled over 1/2 way overnight... sheesh. Read up some and found that most likely the water inlet valve was faulty. Called our local service person and they quoted $300 assuming it was this part - saying it cost over $100 just for the part. Looked around for videos on my Cabrio model (WTW7300DW2) and yours was the first I found that used a similar model and was comprehensive and concise. Fantastic job! $44 on Amazon and 2 days later - fixed! Leak alone over the course of a year would have cost me a chunk. Thanks!!!
Holy cow, that is a LOT of water to lose over the course of the night!! I’m glad this video helped you figure out how to DIY the repair, and saved you $$ in the process. Reading your comment was a great start to my day today!
In the video, I show what screws were removed around the 0:40 mark. On the model in the video, I unscrewed the back of the control panel. On other models, you have to use a putty knife in the front of the machine to release it. Check out this video around the 1:24 mark for a demo: th-cam.com/video/K5eZxmdm1pA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks. In your video, it looked as if it just lifted off. I figured it out. There are very tough clips that were not easy to putty knife off. One was a bit rusted, so it was even more difficult. Also, pulling the connectors were not so easy. Hopefully I didn't damage anything. I finished though, but have not tested it yet. Your video did help. Thanks!
Thanks for reminding the viewers to unplug the washing machine and also turn off the hot and cold water supply before beginning with the replacement in order to ensure their safety. We provide quality Whirlpool inlet valve and Whirlpool washing machine spare parts.
Can you provide a link to your store with the water inlet valve needed for a whirlpool cabrio washer? Mine is same as in the video but I need to use the putty knife to open the top lid. When I googled your website I don’t see a water inlet valve for whirlpool in stock.
Good video. Thanks for making this. One question, why remove the third hex screw near the valve assembly. I didn't find it necessary to remove it. Thanks for the help.
I’m not sure what the smaller wire controls. I’ve heard the console cover can be a pain in the a** to get off. I’m assuming you got it off in 1 piece, correct 😂
I'm not able to remove the wire harness...tried white lithium grease which I believe is the same as WD-40. They won't budge! Any other ideas? I"m afraid I'll damage the metal piece that the new wire harness needs to attach to. Thanks. Great video!
Thanks for commenting. White lithium grease and WD-40 are completely different compounds. WD stands for water dispersant. It’s a light silicone oil based product. My understanding is that lithium grease is a heavy (nigh temperature) lubricating grease for roller/ball bearings and the like. My advice would be to get some WD-40 sprayed where you need it, let it do its thing, and go from there.
Thank you for sharing this video. My Whirlpool Cabrio is continuing to fill with water when it should not be- like during the drain portion of the cycle. The water continues to flow, even after the machine is unplugged and has to be shut off at the valves. This does not happen on every cycle- sometimes it's fine- but now I have to always watch it closely in case it doesn't shut off. Does it seem like a washer inlet valve replacement would be the solution?
That seems like a different issue, so I did some digging around the internet for an answer. Here is a link to what I found: removeandreplace.com/2015/01/29/washer-fills-and-drains-at-the-same-time-how-to-fix/ This article literally discusses your exact issue. Hopefully this helps and your fix is easy!
@@DIYTutorialGuy thanks so much for your quick reply! However, I don't think what you found is the solution as my washer continues to fill even if unplugged. That is what has me leaning toward it being the repair you show in the video, but a different symptom.
Good point. I should have read your comment more carefully. As for it filling even when unplugged, I’m far from an expert, but something there is strange. Honestly, it may be best to call an appliance repair tech out to your house. Have them do a diagnosis of the issue and an estimate of what the repair would cost. If it’s the inlet valve, use this tutorial and DIY! If not, it may be best to let the tech do the repair.
I am thinking about doing this with my WTW8500DC2 I get error LF (Long Fill) and wont fill. Cold doesn't come through at all and hot will trickle in but not enough. It was working one day and the all of a sudden the next day it stopped working. It clicks like its about to fill and after a few minutes it goes to drain mode (with no water). Then I get the LF error. I've read about removing the red and blue mesh filters to clean them, but mine do not come out. I'm just breaking the plastic off every time I try to take them out with the pliers. Do you remember from your old part if those come out? I read that you changed the part because of a crack but I thought I would still try and ask. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting! I do not recall if those pieces come out, sorry. However, if you’re breaking plastic trying to get them out, my advice would be to just change the water inlet valve.
Try using needle nose pliers and gently wiggling as you pull. It will take some time and may not feel like it’s working, but they will eventually come loose. Do not use too much force.
I watched a few videos where that was the case, tried it on mine, and realized that was not the case for my washer. I hope this video helped, aside from the confusion.
I have repaired my dryer numerous times plus a lot of other things but I can’t even get the first step down on this. I’ve got hidden screws or latches on the top panel I cannot get it off for the life of me
Don’t worry, I can help! I believe for your model there’s a release in the front of the machine. You have to use a putty knife and stick it in the front of the lid to release it. Check out this video around the 1:24 mark for a demo: th-cam.com/video/K5eZxmdm1pA/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I can't find the part anywhere. I think it is on back order. Would the Amazon generic work that claims it is the replacement for the Whirlpool W11220230? Thank you! Great video!!!

You’re right. I found that a butter knife was the perfect size. I kept trying to wedge underneath and pry. It actually releases it if you just take the butter knife under the outer edge and push straight towards the back of the machine. Thanks for the rest of your video though. Saved me a some cash and I can finally wash with hot water.
I have a wtw7300dw2 cabrio unit from 2017. how did you get the control cover off??? I cannot figure it out without breaking it to be able to get to the water control valve.

Sorry Anna, I wasn’t able to find the replacement part with an internet search. Maybe give the manufacturer a call and inquire if they have one in back stock?
My Whirlpool Cabro WTW8500DC1 has worked fine for 9 years. Today, will not fill either hot or cold water. Spins but does not fill with water. I’ve checked hoses and inlet filters, all good. Could the issue be this inlet valve needing replacement?
There’s a chance it could be. My advice is to have a pro troubleshoot it. If it’s the water inlet valve, then all you have to do is order the part and install it yourself.
Thank you for watching and commenting! After having 2 online parts retailers fail me, I tried another internet search. Amazon came up this time, whereas previously they did not for this exact part. Low and behold, there was a vendor with 6 in stock. Cheaper than the other 2 places, and arrived in just over a week.
On the model in the video, I unscrewed the back of the control panel. On other models, you have to use a putty knife in the front of the machine to release it. I believe I put a link for that in one of the comments.

Can I replace my 3 solenoid inlet valve with a 2 solenoid inlet valve? It appears that the 3rd solenoid just opens the valve to feed water to the detergent dispenser which I never use anyway. My washer is great, but old. Model #110.92595200. I finally found the 3 solenoid valve on Amazon for over $100, the 2 solenoid valve is about $10 if I can find one that will bolt on N.Y. washer. I do want to keep my washer but hate to pay so much for the valve. What do you think? Thanks, Sandy
Thanks for watching and commenting! As for your question, I'm not sure I can safely give you advice, as appliance repair is not my trade. However, if it were me, I would spend the $100 and install the correct part. This would give me piece of mind that I won't be doing some unnecessary repair down the road, or somehow cause damage to the washing machine.

In the video, I show what screws were removed around the 0:40 mark.
On the model in the video, I unscrewed the back of the control panel.
On other models, you have to use a putty knife in the front of the machine to release it.
I believe I put a link for that in one of the comments.
Yours may be one of those models.
You skipped how to take top piece off. lol
Actually, in the video, I show what screws were removed around the 0:40 mark.
