I just received a replacement water inlet valve from AppliancePartsPros.com. It came in just one day which was awesome, but my husband is not quite sure how to take apart the washer to replace it. It is part #12002158. We would like to see a diagram on how to take apart the washer. A diagram was included for replacing the valve, but not how to take apart the washer to access the valve.

I have not worked on that exact model, but generally these machines open in one of two ways.

1. There are two screws at the bottom, which hold the front panel on. Take them off and the front panel swings out and off. You will then see screws holding on the top. Take them off, take off the top and you can get to the inlet valves.

If you do not see the two screws at the bottom, which I think is the situation with your model, then

2. The top will come off if you gently insert a thin putty knife between the top and front panels at each end. This will release two clips, which will enable you to take off the top and have access to the inlets.

If you click on your model number this site will take you to diagrams of your machine, and you will see the two clips.

Good luck and let us know how the repair turns out. The APP folks do get stuff out quickly!
