7 years later.. thank you. I found my water valve is leaking at that joint. I guess replacing it is the first route to take.

Thank you so much for this. I watched WAY too many videos about how running some type of cleaner through the machine will solve this problem. It's nice to finally get the right answer. Caution! Do not buy this valve from GE for $100. Buy it on Ebay.

Why did you disconnect the junction box? It is on the other side from the inlet valve.

You dont need that blanket & you dont need to bring out the dishwasher all the way, just enough for you to get under it and replace it.

Great videos! When would you need to replace this water inlet? What's the symptoms?

These are like those crap bob villa videos, you go around your ass to get to your elbow, I just watched a woman with no experience remove the inlet valve from just taking off the kick plate like normal people, this is ridiculous.

Why did you need to disconnect those wires?

Way to make things extremely complicated. There's no need for all the many extra steps to pull the DW out and lay it flat on its back. You can remove and install a new valve just by reaching from the front, unless you have humongous hands and wrists and can't bend/crouch on the floor.

Nice video! GE sucks. That plastic inlet valve is built to break so that you can buy a new one. I'll never buy a GE product again.
