Replacing the original water inlet valve with the replacement
While the repair itself is simple, several things complicated it. First off, the valve did not come with any instructions at all. While I am no novice with appliance repairs, I had not run into the new quick plumbing connections before, so I had to look up info on the internet to make sure I was doing it right. The next problem is that th e orientation of the valve is not the same, so the water inlet now comes in on the bottom, instead of from the top. Since mine had originally been done in copper tubing, I had to redo this piping as there was not enough to go. First trip to the hardware store to buy a flair connector to add a bit of tubing (which I happened to have). Once the inlet piping was done, I discover that the outlet piping connection is a completely different size on the new valve. The old valve had 1/4" on both connections, the new one has 1/4" inlet and 5/16" out. Kind of stupid, but that's what it is. Second trip to the hardware store to get a 1/4 X 5/16th compression fitting and some 5/16" plastic tubing, which is only sold in 10' lengths. So my "exact replacement" took two hours, counting hardware store trips, and an extra $15 worth of parts to make it work. It works great so far, but I'm not to happy. The electric and mounting brackets did match up exactly, so no problems there.
