The water inlet arrived in new packaging and was exactly the part that I was looking for. Works as described and now my washer fills much quicker.
I’ve owned the Kenmore HE3 Front Load Washing Machine for about 8 years now and it appears to be a great appliance. However, about every 4 years the Water Inlet Valve needs to be replaced as leaking from this part is progressive in deterioration. The removal & install of the parts are easy and takes about 15 minutes. McCombs Supply had the needed part whereas Sears stated it was on back order. And it was delivered in a very timely manner as well, in addition to being cheaper than the same part from Sears.
Exact part I was looking for and 6x more affordable them my local parts guy!
The drum on my washer would slowly fill while off. This new valve stopped that nonsense. I did have to make the hole on the washer that held the valve in place a bit bigger because it didn't line up. Not a big deal.
Priced right good quality easy install = perfect combination
