Hey Folks, hoping you can help. I have a Kenmore HE3T front load washer that seems to work fine, EXCEPT that the tub fills with water between uses. It must be a slow leak, because I don't notice it unless we don't do laundry for a week or so. If it hasn't been used in a week, I see that the tub is full of water, but not high enough to leak out of the open door. Any thoughts on what I should do to fix this?

Thanks
Tim

So, I ordered the inlet valve and it showed up pretty quick. Replacing it was very simple. It also gave me a reason to clean out behind the washer/dryer and clear out the dryer vent. BTW - I did my 35' dryer vent with the "LintEater" and it worked very well. Another good tip from this site. Anyway, I haven't seen the issue again with the washer tub filling (yet). I'm assuming that the problem is fixed and I wanted to say thanks for the help.
