Admiral Washer Repair – Girard, OH (Gfwr2700howw)

A customer in Girard, OH called about their Admiral washer that wouldn’t shut off the water automatically. Water wont shut off but unit works fine if you do it manually. We found the cold water valve was sticking open and needed replacement.

The Problem

The customer reported that the water intake valve wouldn’t shut off properly. The washer worked fine if operated manually, but required cutting water on and off by hand during the wash cycle.

Diagnosis

Upon inspection, we found the cold water valve was sticking open. This prevented the washer from controlling water flow automatically during the wash cycle, requiring manual intervention to prevent overflow.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WH13X10066 — Water valve assembly
• Work performed: Replaced the water valve assembly
• Result: Washer now controls water intake automatically without manual intervention

Is It Worth Repairing?

Admiral washers are generally reliable machines, and a water valve replacement is a straightforward repair that restores full automatic operation. When the rest of the washer functions properly, replacing a faulty water valve is typically more cost-effective than purchasing a new unit.

Maintenance Tips for Admiral Washers

• Check and clean inlet screens on water connections annually to prevent debris from affecting valve operation
• Run a cleaning cycle monthly to prevent buildup that could interfere with valve mechanisms
• Inspect water supply hoses for kinks or damage that could cause back-pressure on valves
