Perfect part...but.....
Although the ($110.42 plus tax) water inlet valve's quality part was the perfect replacement, it was not the issue. Instead it turned out to be the $49.42 lid switch assembly....the washer is now fixed and runs well.

Fast delivery, part exactly what we needed.
We were delighted that we could get a part for our old Maytag washer. We live in a small town, and it is difficult to get anything. The part was delivered very quickly, and we were able to get our washer up and running. We also appreciated the video that explained how to replace the part.

Cold water valve only opened to a trickle
I started by unplugging the appliance and then shut off the hot and cold water faucets then I disconnected and drained the hoses. Next, I removed the two screws that held the valve assembly in place. I then pulled the assembly out about 3 inches and disconnected the two wire plugs. The last step was to loosen the hose clamp on the outlet hose and pull off the outlet hose. I reversed the steps to install the new assembly and the total repair took about 10 minutes.

Cold water solinoid not opening properly
I moved wash machine away from wall and unplugged from wall outlet. Shut off water, then removed hot and cold water lines from water inlet valve,removed screw from mounting plate and removed valve from wash machine. Checked to see if replacement valve was compatible (exact fit).
Unscrewed the two screws holding valve to mounting plate,unscrewed hose clamp and removed water line at top of valve (outlet). Removed the four wires from solinoids.Replaced the four wires onto the new valve as they were on the old valve,reattached water line onto the top of valve and tightened.Reattached valve to mount plate with the two screws and mounted back onto machine. Hooked up hot and cold water lines back onto valve and snugged with pliers. Turned on water checked for leaks (no leaks), and did a load of laundry. Super simple,well worth doing yourself.

cold water barely flows, hot is ok
These Maytag people know how to build stuff. I was impressed with this valve. Built really smart. After a gazillion years (about 16 or so) the valve started making a funny groaning noise and the cold water flow was very slow. Took about 15-20 minutes to fill the tub.
the inlet valve is located on the back of the washer where the hoses are connected. In fact the hose connectors are part of the valve.
To replace this valve, start by unplugging and turning off the water spigots, unscrew the two hoses from the valve. (you need a towel here, but that'll be obvious soon enough.)
Unscrew the single screw at the top of the valve bracket (the bottom of the bracket is held in place without screws.) Remove the screw holding on the sheet metal and pull the bracket out as far as you can without stretching things. Write down what colors of wire are connected, then pull off the electrical connectors.
The valve outlet is a skinny (compared to the inlet hoses) rubber hose that has a clamp to hold it in place. The clamp needs to be loosened with a 3/16" nutdriver a plier would probably work, but may be hard to get in there. Now slide the clamp further up on the hose, dislodge the rubber hose off of the old valve. Now it's free.
Reverse the steps. Believe it or not, that is all. It works great and this washer probably has another 10 year left in it.

No hot water
Went on the PartSelect website, input the problem, and got the Water Inlet Valve as the diagnosis. When the part arrived, I viewed the short video on replacing the Water Inlet Valve and just followed the instructions. It could not have been easier. After turning off both the hot and cold water and pulling the plug from the wall socket, I removed the screw holding the bracket and valve to the machine; removed the 2 screws holding the valve to the bracket; removed the wire harness ends from each solenoid on the valve; replaced the valve with the new one and reattached the wire harness, followed by reattaching the bracket to the valve, and assembling to the machine.

This was an easy repair.

3rd I pulled the 4 electrical connections & loosened a clamp to remove a small water hose.
4th I removed 2 hex head screws that held the water valve to the backing plate.
-----------that was a whole 5 - 10 minutes!------------
Next I reversed the process
4th I attached the inlet valve with the 2 hex head screws
5th re-attached the 4 electrical connections(had slip on spades) pushed on the hose & tighterned the clamp.
6th replaced the backing plate with the inlet valve attached & tightened the single hex head screw.

replace failed valve
Of couse, turn off water to machine. Remove hoses. Then had to open unit - easiest by popping spring in with flat blade in seam under lid. Screws holding valve are on back of unit at hose inlet, so simply unscrew to remove failed valve. Clamp holding hose onto valve is crimped with pliers to remove. I suggest spending the 50 cents a hardware store for new clamp, as my reattachment of existing clamp onto new value leaked. There are four electrical connectors, so remember order in which you removed them and return to same on new unit.
Reassemble in reverse (hoses, water on) and your all set.
Pretty easy: I figure it would be about $200 for service guy and part. My cost: $30 and 30 minutes

My washer fills slowly with cold water when it is not on. If I put my finger under the rim inside the tub, it is wet. I've got the problem under control by turning off the cold water at source when not in use, but I'd like to fix it, if possible!
For model number A712
Hi Lucy, Thank you for the question. This would be an issue with the Water Inlet Valve, PartSelect Number: PS1583805. The valve can become stuck open and allow water to leak info the tub when not in use. Hope this helps!

Hi lid switch was bad because of solenoid. Part is unavailable so bypassed lid switch. The machine will not fill with water on start up but will do rinse cycle. The water inlet switch is new. Did i louse up something bypassing the lid switch. Thankstom
For model number LSE7800ACL
Hi Tom,
Thank you for your inquiry. If your washing machine is not filling with water then you may have check the continuity of the lid switch to see if it is working correctly. A lid switch that is not working correctly can cause this issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Hello, the warm and hot water fill for wash cycles but no cold water for the wash and rinse cycles. I removed some sediment in the screens but still no cold water. Cold water flows through the fill hoses...thanks!
For model number A482
Hi Todd,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like the cold water solenoid might be broken on your valve. You can test the part to see if that is the case, but it sounds like you will need to replace your valve. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Washing machine leaks water onto floor, but only when warm water is used. Does not leak water on cold/cold cycle.
For model number A512
Hi Tom, thank you for reaching out. We would recommend checking for any kinks/damages to the hoses and tightening any loose connections. If that does not help, then the issue is most likely related to the water inlet valve, part number PS1583805. We hope this sorts out your problem!

While the tub is filling water runs out of the crack between the cabinet and the top in the left rear corner right above the water inlet valve.
For model number LAT9593AAW
Hi David, thank you for your question. It sounds like you might want to inspect your valve to see if it is broken or if the hoses that attach to it are broken and need to be replaced. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
