single mom here....with a 10 yr old washing machine.....this just fixed it and saved us a lot of $...ty

How about people stop complaining. Thanks for helping a single mom that never was taught how to fix anything! I appreciate it!

All my well water people we are in this fight together! ✊🏽

Tom, good information; you may want to improve your audio portion.

Why have i been able to hear you so well throughout the video?? Thank you for your knowledge, cheers from Uganda 🇺🇬.

Thank you for the very useful tip, Tom !! It works just fine now (the washer filling, that is) !!

you put it back in backwards.

My machine was making a whistling noise. Found out that my water inlet was bad, the cause was a clogged inlet valve caused by hard water. Replaced the valve and will clean the inlet valve each year to avoid the problem happening again. Thanks for the video!

YOU PUT THE FILTER IN BACKWARDS!!! This will dent the copper screen on the inside and make taking it out next time a pain.

clogged filter will not cause hose to burst. Any time the water isn't filling the hoses are at the standard house pressure a clogged filter will not change this pressure.

Looks like a great video. I’m gonna check out some lip reading tutorials and be back here to get this great information!

Good information, even with the audio problems.

You sir are a man among boys, a king among men. Thank you for saving me money and headaches by putting this video together.

Thank you sir! God bless!

I suggest you find the guy who spliced together your video and ask him to bring the narration audio track level back to normal. This is a very basic task when video editing.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for making this video. Following your instructions, my husband and I tackled our trickling cold water line. The filter was completely caked in mostly black sediment!! 😵 I was able to clean it off pretty easily with a nylon brush, so soaking wasn't necessary. And when my husband ran a load with nothing but cold water, the trickle was now a waterfall!! 🥳 As for sorting darks and lights, I'm more careful when washing my dark and bright colored cottons, particularly my darkest blue jeans. Even though they're 3 years old, they still transferred some dye to my new Christmas pj's. Oops!

Thank you I was able to get the screen thing out. I had to turn it up because you were talking quietly and then your Channel turn music on really loud and I had to run away from my that I was watching your channel on KZfaq well I was trying to fix the washer and watch my daughter at the same time starts bouncing back and forth. Just happened to be your music turned up well I checking in my little one have a good day I appreciate it I was able to fix it intelligent information🎉

Thanks for such a helpful video. I have never separated my whites and darks, btw. Are there inlet valve screen replacements available anywhere? I looked up my washer model on an appliance parts site and they aren't even listed on the parts list.

Tom I have a Maytag Commercial top load washer Model MVWP575G1. It does not fill up even with Deep Water selection. Is there a way to Hack to Fix. Plse respond asap & or anyone? Thank you

Is there a reason you put the filter back in backwards?

Your volume is horrible, but thank you

In need of help do a slow fill and long fill mean the same cause my washer keeps saying long fill

Thanks I'm doing the same thing

Volume did seem low but could hear. What to do if the inlet has no screen but does have mineral build up.

Really helpful Tom

Good video, but audio almost too low to hear, even with YT max volume, PC max volume. I wonder why people won't screen their videos for problems before posting...

You forgot to look inside , there a fixed screen in there also ..and turn the one around you just put in backwards.

Great video. thanks

Does washer work without valve screens, cause my water has high calcium in it, that’s why I ask?

Does anyone have any advice on how to get the filter out when the part of the filter that you clamp is broken?

I do agree, the information is spot on. But the audio is really bad

I have portable washer giantex, water inlet does not stop and overflows to the floor from machine :( any body any idea what could be the problem. Thanks.

Great video thank you!

My machine has no pull out filter; instead it is a mesh screen going into the washer. It was dirty with sand and to clean it since I could. Or remove it was a pipe cleaner folded over itself a few times. This allowed me to scrape the mesh without damaging it and cleaning it well. Qtips just get cotton on the mesh and cause more of a problem. Hope this helps with the filters that cannot be removed

Dont watch this video if everyone is asleep around you. Thank you the video Tom

Hi what if this is not working what else could we try

Will this cause the machine to not continue the cycle and it shuts off like 10 minutes later? That and the clothes are still soaked

You said clogging inlet screen can cause hose to pop. So instead of placing screen between connection and machine - why not place it between spigot and and connection?

Video was plain and simple. I will not tell you the volume was way too low since so many others already said so. Jesus bless.

I have the same problem, slow fill. Checked filter, very clean and clear. Problem remains.

Thank you Jesus ... I mean .... Tom. It worked. A million thanks

I can barely hear the voice. Volume is too low and not on my end.

Awesome

Much appreciated! ^_^

Btw.. You put the cold water filter screen in backwards when you re-installed it! 😂

The volume was so low that I cranked it all the way up and put on my headphones to hear. Then the music portion came on extremely loud and legit gave me a headache from the loud blast of sound in my ears. As good as the info was, the sound issue makes me wish I hadn’t watched

The sound is way low at the bagging, fyi.

How long is slow to fill up a washing machine? Mine takes 10 minutes, it's that long?

It would be good if we could hear you.

Had my phone up to my ear full blast then he hits us with stupidly loud music, almost blew out my eardrums

Thank you, can you please come help me

What?

You put that thing back in backwards

This unfortunately won't work anymore... Whirlpool in their infinite wisdom has changed the inlet valve filter design such that there's no longer any appreciable tab on the filter screen to grab and extract it from the valve.... This forces you to charge your customer an additional ~$70.00 for a completely new inlet valve assembly...

Dino I cant hear you.

Audio level was recorded too low.

Now I need to get the volume on my phone fixed

Tom the Plumber- I'll give you another try a while from now but not now- I had to crank my volume ALL THE WAY UP and still could hardly hear you. THEN THE OPENING MUSIC NEARLY BLEW MY SPEAKERS AND MY EAR DRUMS! I can tell it is your camera person who is moving in and out that is changing the volume, but really- please fix this. I'll replace my thumbs down with thumbs up if you do. Please man. UPDATE- I needed the info so I'm listening with one hand on the mute button. At about 2:15, still on max volume, your voice is much easier to hear. Then the revving of the engine blasts me again. I won't update more, but I am watching till the end. Please, run through this video again and see if you can fix the volume. Much appreciated. Oh also, at 5:42 you put the cold filter in backwards- the little handle is now on the inside so you can't grab it 😞

Your volume levels fluctuate wildly. Had a difficult time hearing you.

You need to tell people to unplug their machine every time. Safety!!!!

Can't hear you. Turn up your volume.

Awful. Check volume

Fix your volume! Had to turn my volume all the way up to hear your voice and then other sound source came on and blasted my eardrums. I didn't even bother to watch the rest of the video.

Can't hear you.

Be sure to put the filter back in the opposite way as he did. He put it back in backwards and decided to pass that on to everyone else to do the same. First time here but I won’t be watching anymore of his videos and run the risk of getting shown how to do something wrong.

My ears! But thanks

You are talking a little quietly at times

Audio is terrible!! Can barely here him talk so you turn up the volume all the way up then the music comes on to break your ear drum!! ouch!!

Fire your video editor, sound levels are terrible

Volume sucks😊

WOW!!! Your music and sound effects are 100 times louder than your voice. Please fix that!!!!!!!!!! Hearing damage can result.

The sound is terrible. Maybe calcium buildup!

Oh my God! Just pull the frigging filter out dude. This is an example of how take a 30 second instructional video and talk for 10 minutes.

Bad vid. No volume

Your volume it horrible . Sorry this video was no use to me sorry

Audio levels are fine ty for making this video.
