Sorry, we couldn't find any existing installation instruction that matched.
The hot and cold water flow was slow.
1. First I unplugged the machine.
2. Then I turned off the hot and cold water supply valves.
3. With a towel ready to catch the water, I used channel locks to unscrew the water supply hose from the valve in the back of the machine.
4. Next with 1/4" socket I removed the three screws at the top rear of the machine securing the top cover plate. You could also use a T20 driver.
5. Then I slid the top plate back about an inch and lifted it up to remove it from the machine, being careful with the sharp edges of the plate.
6. Then using my fingers I unclipped the electrical connections to the valve, taking note of how they attached.
7. Warning: I wish someone had told me this! Have a small towel ready to catch any water from the valve hose inside the machine so as not to get any electrical parts wet! I got the machine wet and had to wait a few days to let it dry before it would run water instead of just making a buzzing sound. Luckily it did work again. So with that in mind, I took pliers and squeezed the hose clamp to loosen it and slid it down over the hose.
8. Then using a flathead screwdriver I carefully worked around the hose and pried the hose off of the valve. Again have a small towel ready for the hose to drain onto!
9. Once the hose is drained, I removed the screw on the back of the machine that secured the valve to the machine. I don't remember if it is T20 or Phillips screw.
10. Then I turned the old valve counter clockwise a quarter turn (using channel locks to help me) to release the valve from the two metal tabs holding it in place.
11. I then pulled the old valve out and put the new one in following these steps in reverse order.
12. Don't forget to turn the water back on and plug the machine in! Not that I would ever do such a thing...
