My wife said the last couple of loads have ended with very wet clothes in the tub. I found that water was dripping from the soap dispenser, so they were probably sitting in the tub for a while and being dripped on. I found a couple other posts here about that and ordered a new inlet valve from the link provided. Turning off and on the supply lines, it appeared to be only the hot water dripping. So I left that one off. Wife tried to run a load using cold water setting only but it then came up with an H2O Supply Error. I then turned the hot water back on, restarted and got the error message again. When I get the new inlet valve is that likely to fix this?

I tried to run it again las night after letting it sit unplugged for a couple hours. It would just spin for 3 seconds with the SENSING message. Over and over and over. It poured a little water in on the 2nd spin but none after that. So I just shut it down again. It is not leaking anymore after unplugging it either. Hopefully its just the valve that is all messed up.


The good news is that the valve I ordered yesterday from AppliancePartsPros at 1230 pm is out for delivery today! I am impressed. Hope this fixes things.

Yes, when water is dripping into the tub when the machine is not in use, that's always the water inlet valve that is bad.

Here's the water inlet valve for your model, in case others need it too:

This video shows you how to replace it:

Let us know how it goes.

All fixed! I did notice that the orange tube was loose after I replaced the valve. I probably did that during the process. I was able to get a good view in the video above where to put that back. Thanks Jake!

Still can't believe how fast it got here and I chose the cheapest shipping option.
