KitchenAid Inlet Water Valve

KitchenAid Washer (Model#KAWS677EQ0): The water would not stop flowing into the machine, even when i unplugged it. The only way to get the water to stop flowing into the machine was to turn off the customer's water faucet valves to the machine. What causes this is a bad water inlet valve. I changed it, and it works great.
