    • Unplug the washer from the wall to prevent electrical shock.

    • Turn off the water supply and remove both inlet hoses.

    • Check for any debris in the inlet filters of the valves and hoses.

    • Locate the two long quarter inch hex head screws on the back sides of the console and remove them.

    • Lift and rotate the control console forward, taking care of the attached wires and pressure hose.

    • Disconnect the pressure hose if more room is needed to access the valve area.

    • Remove the two shorter quarter inch hex head screws securing the water valve to the housing.

    • Pull each wire harness off the valve solenoids, using needle nose pliers if connectors are tight.

    • Note the color and position of each wire harness to avoid mixing them when reinstalling.

    • Slide the water valve assembly upward and away from the washer cabinet.

    • Angle the new water valve into position, then slide it down into place.

    • Shift the tub rearward through the washer lid opening if the valve does not seat properly.

    • Line up the mounting holes for the valve and reinstall the two shorter screws.

    • Reconnect each wire harness onto its correct solenoid by matching the original color order.

    • Reattach the pressure hose to the control board if it was removed.

    • Slide the console back and ensure the plastic tabs lock into place over the machine top.

    • Secure using the two original longer screws at the back of the console.

    • Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses firmly, checking the washers for wear.

    • Open the water valves and plug the washer’s power cord back into the outlet.

    • Run a quick cycle to check for drips or leaks around the newly installed valve.

    • Confirm correct wire harness connections if the washer does not fill properly.

    • Check your water supply pressure if excessive leaks persist after installation.

    • Install or replace inline filter screens on your hoses to reduce debris in the valve.

    • Inspect the hoses and screens regularly to avoid buildup that can damage the new valve.

The water valve replacement should stop unwanted dripping into the tub in your GE washing machine. Double-check hose connections and watch for leaks during test cycles. Properly filtering and maintaining your water supply can help extend the life of the new valve.
