Parts That Fix Whirlpool Washer WTW7040DW0 Leaking
The hose clamp is used to hold the water hose in place which will prevent the hose from leaking water. Sometimes the clamp may lose its ability to latch on, causing a leaking washer. For the installation, you will need a flat head screw driver to replace the clamp and a drill to access the screws to remove the front of the washer. Be careful if you do not have specific clamp pliers as the clamp could fly off. Once the front of the washer has been removed, take a quick look for water damage or any obvious signs of where the leak is coming from. If it is not obvious, run water to test.

This is a water inlet valve made for washing machines. This part is used to control the flow of water into the fill hose of the washing machine, to allow the washer to fill up with water. If your washing machine is not filling up with water properly, or if you are noticing leaks underneath your washing machine, the inlet valve has likely failed and you will likely need to replace it. This OEM inlet valve features two different inlets for hot and cold water but does not come with any other parts or accessories for installation. To replace this water inlet valve, you will need tools such as a screwdriver or wrench to gain access to it and remove it.
