Changing Water Valves & Diaphragms

 

If you encounter one of your large chassis washers gushing water into the tub or soap compartment when the machine isn't running odds are you have a problem with the water valve.
You can change the whole valve, however I prefer to start by changing the diaphragm.
Many brands of washers use the same valve.
You order a a replacement kit that comes with the valve tool changer and a few replacement diaphragms and you should be in business.
The video above shows the process.
