My washer just starting dripping water into the tub. Tried unplugging it but continued to drip. Not sure how long to wait after unplugging it but it appeared to make no difference. I saw this trick on another post so i gave it a try as well. Any help is appreciated -

You need to replace the water inlet valve assembly.

Not too difficult. Remove the cabinet for easy access as shown in this video.
