Problem
The dryers check vent light came on. After cleaning the vent several times over a three week period the light would come on after each load. Then the mist created by the steam feature in my dryer would not stop spraying water.
Tools
Pliers and socket wrench
Repair & Advice
This was my second experience with help from Parts Dr. I went on line to diagnose the problem. After viewing a video on how to replace the Water Inlet Valve I new I could do the job. Parts Dr’s website made it easy to find and order the part.
My first Parts Dr order was a new ice maker for my refrigerator. A repairman came to the house and in less than 15 minutes removed the ice maker. He said he had to order the part and the replacement would cost $450. Out of curiosity I went on line to find how much the part cost. Parts Dr had the part for under $80.

Repair & Advice
After finding out the problem was likely because of a failed water inlet valve, I ordered the W10815373 Water Inlet Valve part from Parts Dr. The first part sent to me was broken on delivery, but Part Dr. was great and after sending some pictures of the box and broken part, they were able to send out another (better padded) part, which arrived intact. I made the repair and our dryer is working again!
