Water Valve

The water valve consists of a valve body and 5
solenoid coils. It is only available as a complete
assembly.
Each solenoid controls a specifi c water function.
When energized, there should be approximately
5-6 VDC at the appropriate coil.
Each coil on the water valve assembly has an
approximate resistance value of 30 Ω.
Pink colored plastic pressure fi ttings are used on
the water valve for a tight fi t and to reduce the
possibility of leaks.
Note: Hot and cold water inlet screens are used to
prevent debris from entering the valve assembly.
Inlet screens can be removed by grasping hold of
the handle on the rear of the screen with a pair of
needle nose pliers and pulling it straight out. After
cleaning, insert for continued use.
To remove the water valve assembly:
1. Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves,
and then remove the fi ll hoses from the back of
the washer.
2. Place the control panel in the service position.
