Great video. Short and succinct. Helpful cues about potential trouble spots, like the hard-to-remove plastic prong covers. It was good to know they were just tight, there was nothing holding them on. Good editing, too, to cut out unnecessary sections of struggling with screws or whatever. Helped me get the job done. Much appreciated.
Had an intermittent minor leak for 2 years in my washer machine, bought the valve part 2 years ago but didn't see any UA-cam videos or anything back then to guide me. I endured with the intermittent leak until coming across this video. Took me 2 hours to fix. Thank you.
Hi, Chris! Just wanted to say thank you for the tutorial! Went exactly how you showed. About 50 dollars in parts (part was 36, hoses were 20). Saved us a ton. Be well!
That makes me very happy to hear. Some of the stuff I think they intentionally make so you can't fix it yourself. Here, though, a different story. Thanks for watching and good job!
Thank you, thank you! I searched for a while before finding your video. Exactly the problem we had and exactly the solution we needed. Thank you for posting.
I have this same model washing machine. My problem is that the hot water won't come into the machine. Will a mixing valve replacement fix this problem as well? Thanks for the video. It was straightforward and easy to understand.
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful. I'm sure this could be the reason. If the solenoid that opens the valve is broken, it won't let the hot water in. I assume you checked on the actual supply coming into the machine from the wall? You could remove the hose from the machine, put it in a bucket, and then open the hot water valve (slowly). If water comes out, you know it's not the hose (they may collapse if they're really old - replace them both if that's the case). My next thing if I had your problem would be to replace the mixing valve. There is a website, www.repairclinic.com that has a lot of troubleshooting videos. It may give you more ideas. Good luck!
Great video! Less than 15 minutes start to finish because of your excellent coverage of this repair. You even told us what nut drivers we'd need. Hint: I found it easy to get the "spring loaded" screw holding the mounting plate to the frame by first connecting the bottom hose (hot) and using it as a convenient lever/handle to exactly line up the mounting holes for the 5/16" screw. Voila, drip gone, couple hundred bucks saved. Thanks again!
Not only did it fix the drip, but my wife had noticed that on the "warm" setting the water wasn't really warm. It was cool. Now it's warm! Looks like the old part didn't let enough hot water in. Oddly enough, upon disconnecting the hot water hose the water that dripped out was yucky black. Perhaps the hose was also disintegrating. New hoses now too.
I'm so happy it worked! And good call on the hoses. I replace mine every 5 years or so. Just not worth taking the change on one of those letting go while you not home.
Same thing on my 8 year old Speed Queen. This is a beautifully done video. So helpful I will put Two Wraps of Teflon tape around the threads before reattaching. I read any more than 2 wraps is BAD. Maybe unnecessary. Thanks.
Excellent video and explanations - great work Chris!! Thank you for taking time to share - I plan to replace the valve this weekend. If you happen to restore or work on a '68 Camaro, please post - that is my dream car but.......
You are very welcome. Glad it was helpful. Very easy repair. I never got a quote for someone to do it. Would love to know how much money I saved myself. I'm not an American muscle fan, but I did a collaboration with a guy who did Camaros. I think they are newer than what you're looking for, but you might find the channel interesting. He's been out of videos for a while, but he's garage is absolutely immaculate. Russell is his name. Check out Double R Restorations: www.youtube.com/@DoubleRRestorations
Yup, exactly what they are. They worked okay, but I ended up hiring a plumber and put a reducer valve in the water supply to the house. Those water hammer restrictors will eventually wear out and I was still having problems, so I bit the bullet and put in a permanent fix.
I looked up your model at repairclinic.com (another place I get parts when Amazon doesn't have them) and found this: www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Water-Inlet-Valve/205547P/4982327. At Amazon, if I type that part number in, I get this: www.amazon.com/s?k=205547P&crid=1M2VCAFN7H7JW&sprefix=205547p%2Caps%2C88&ref=nb_sb_noss_1. Not sure if it's the same, but these links should get you in the right direction. I'd double-check for yourself, though, to make sure you agree.
Great. It really doesn't get much easier than that. Can only imagine how much a repair would have cost to have someone come out. Thanks for watching and glad it worked for you!
Totally. I usually try to find a fix video and then make decision to attempt or call someone. I found your video and I can handle it no problem. This wasn’t difficult at all except the water spillage. Thanks again
Thank you. I think we're going on 6 or 7 years. A bit sooner than I would think, but our water here is pretty hard, so I'm sure that had something to do with it - probably fouling of the valve seat vice actual failure.
@@jewllake I can't remember how old ours is. 2018 might be about right. I didn't think it would start leaking that quick, but our water is pretty hard here so it eats stuff up pretty quick. Thanks for watching!
@@roundtailrestorationOn the serial number, the first 4 digits are year/month of manufacture which should help you know when you got it. Thank you for the video; tired of waiting for & then paying for repairman.
I assume it could be if the valve is broken electrically. There should be some troubleshooting help at www.repairclinic.com. search for you symptoms and it should help.
No, not that I know of. That's the only place water comes in, so if it still drips with the washer off, my guess is you may have gotten a defective valve.
Thanks for helpful video. We only got 1 year out of this valve on our SpeedQueen TC5, somewhat disappointing . Never had to replace the mixing valve on previous Whirlpool machines.

straight forward. amazing how hard it was to find this simple video. Thanks
Glad you found it. I think some of the reason is that speed queens don't break too often. Thanks for watching!
Thank you, thank you! I searched for a while before finding your video. Exactly the problem we had and exactly the solution we needed. Thank you for posting.
You are very welcome! Nice when the solution is easy and relatively cheap to do yourself!
Great video and a timesaver, I replaced this valve in less than an hour!
Good deal. Glad it helped and saved you money!
Exactly what I needed and very clearly presented! You are a natural. Very much appreciated.
Thanks. All about saving the money. Probably more important now than when I made the video! Glad it helped.
THANK YOU for posting this!!!
No problem. Glad it helped. Don't you love saving money being able to do it yourself!!!!
Thank you for the great video. I had the same leak watched your video ordered the $35 part had my husband install and no more leak.
Good deal! Glad the video helped.
Just what I was looking for. Thank you!
You're very welcome. Glad it was helpful!
This was a great video. Easy to follow and worked perfectly.
Good deal. Glad it worked for you. Treat yourself to some dinner for all the money you just saved from hiring someone to do it!

Always good to learn Chris 👍🏴

Good tip! Thanks, Stephen. It brings me no greater pleasure than to know I was able to save someone money by helping them do it themselves!

At 22 seconds, what are the stub type things opposite the hose connections? Are those to reduce water hammers?
Yup, exactly what they are. They worked okay, but I ended up hiring a plumber and put a reducer valve in the water supply to the house. Those water hammer restrictors will eventually wear out and I was still having problems, so I bit the bullet and put in a permanent fix.
Are these valves universal? I have a speed Queen model AWN63RSN115TW01

Absolutely!
Well done !!. Question, how long did you have this washer when you found this problem ? Thanks.

Thank you for the help.
You're very welcome!
Great tutorial! Thanks...
Thanks, Bill. Glad it helped!
Would this be the issue if my machine won’t even attempt to fill?
I assume it could be if the valve is broken electrically. There should be some troubleshooting help at www.repairclinic.com. search for you symptoms and it should help.
Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it helped.
Anything else it could be? I just changed mine and it’s still dripping very slightly. I have the same washer as you do.
No, not that I know of. That's the only place water comes in, so if it still drips with the washer off, my guess is you may have gotten a defective valve.
@@roundtailrestoration thank you so much
It worked! Thank you!
Awesome! So glad it worked for you.
Jubilee clip? Wtf? Do you live in America?
lol, yes, I do, but I restore British cars as a hobby, so I've picked up some of their terms. Was wondering if anyone would pick up on that.
Thanks for helpful video. We only got 1 year out of this valve on our SpeedQueen TC5, somewhat disappointing . Never had to replace the mixing valve on previous Whirlpool machines.
That is disappointing. Hopefully Speed Queen isn't slipping. Not too many US manufacturers left that make quality stuff that lasts.
