Inlet valve failure leading to trickle leak into the washer drum
Tools
Screwdriver, pliers
Repair & Advice
Followed Youtube video for replacing the inlet valve. It was a fairly difficult job just because of the small space to work in and how hard it was to get some of the rubber tubing off the old part.

Washer would partially fill with water while not in use

Screwdriver, drill, pliers
Repair & Advice
This is a pretty simple repair, actually easy enough for any novice with determination. Figuring out how to get to the faulty part is normally more difficult than the actual repair. The part I got was not an exact copy of the original part. There was a mounting screw hole on the valve that was moved on the new part so I did have to drill a new pilot hole through the washer's sheet metal.
