Washer Water Inlet Valve (replaces W10212598) WPW10212598

ok

easy to order, but took about 8-9 days to receive the parts via UPS---it should have been much faster and there were no shipping options available--that was it.

Getting to it was the hard part

The part itself was easy to install. Clips in and electrode clips to it, hose clamps to it and two screws but getting to it was the challenge. Involved removing the stacked dryer, taking off back and top. But the mystery leak is fixed!

Cheapest Prices on ALL THE INTERNET

After I identified this was the part I needed, I purchased it off the Sears Parts Direct website. It was the cheapest price compared to online marketplaces and other local parts dealers (even with expedited shipping!!). However, the website stated it was an OEM new or manufacturer-substituted product. Upon inspection of the inlet valve, I noticed that the one of the plastic treads was already worn from another installation & uninstallation. The product shipped to me was not "new" as advertised. Also, if you're buying from Sears Parts Direct for the first time, be sure to check your spam folder for the order confirmation! Because my washer worked immediately after installation, the cheap price, and the expedited shipping, I'm giving Sears 4 stars instead of 3! I would purchase from them again...after verifying the condition of the product.
