It's a tight fit, but if you have the right tools you can replace this without removing the top control unit.

Washer wouldn’t run through the cycles because the cold water wasn’t filling up
Tools
Screwdrivers
Repair & Advice
After a google diagnosis I was 95% sure my washers problem was the inlet valve. After a 10 minute YouTube video I was pretty confident I could change it myself. To be honest it took longer to locate my screwdriver than it did to change the valve. I didn’t even need to pull my washer away from the wall, 5 minutes fix and it works perfectly

Problem
Water temp mixing valve was leaking.
Tools
Putty knife, screw driver, pliers to loosen hoses
Repair & Advice
I watched a u-tube video of how to replace the valve. What took the longest was determining where the leak was coming from. I started by removing the large back cover which I would have not needed to do. Just the top cover behind the controls needed removed. This revealed the mixing valve and where the leak was. Be sure to unplug the washer before starting to work on the washer. Apparently these mixing valves are a common problem. Several sources were out of stock and the one I did get was back ordered.
