I wouldn't worry about that fill valve, Jerry. My old Maytag leaks into the tub, but it is as simple as shutting water off to it when its not in use. Which everyone should do anyways. I was a BPI Energy Auditor before retiring and I have seen so much damage done to a home, just from a burst washer hose that nobody expected because someone was too lazy to shut the water off to it when they were done.

water shut off.

Hello Jerry. I had the same trouble with an older Westinghouse water value. I took it out of the machine, filled it with PB Blaster and let it set overnight, then made an electric cord with wire connectors on it and hooked it to the valve. I plugged it into a surge protector and cycled it on and off several times. The valve began to work normally and I didn't have to tear it apart or spend money on a replacement. This was very easy and quick. Jeff

Over Filling WH Washer

Hi Jerry, in reply #14 you said that the machine does not fill when shut off and then you said it did keep filling when shut off.

 

Try unplugging the machine, if it keep filling the valve is bad, which I dough since I rebuilt it a month ago, any way let us know what you find out.

Water Fill Test

Here are the results from today's test:

Faucet on, Machine off = Fill

Faucet on, Machine on = Fill

Let tub fill to bottom of door opening, disconnect air dome hose from pump, blow into it, the water level switch it is attached to makes a click sound, but water still enters the tub

Unplug machine = Still fills.

I checked the wires on the water level switch behind the door and they are hooked up the right way, and checked the water valve wires against the wiring diagram and they are hooked up like so. Ill retry the test tomorrow to see if anything changes and I cleaned out the bleach dispenser today
