how to go about replacing waater inlet valve ?
Well I just removed the back panel and located the water inlet switch, I already had a replacement so it was a simple matter to remove the old one and instal the new one. Main difficulty was releasing the spring slips that hold hoses in place. In a cramped area they take some manipulation. To get the hose onto the new piece I dipped it in boiling water then forced it on. I took note of the electrical connections before I removed them so as to get them back on the new switch. Many thanks to all.
