Solenoid positioning matters!
I’d like to start by saying that I verified that this is the correct item number for my washing machine. Shopped around and this was the best value for money. Nearly identical in every way, except for the direction of the solenoids teeth. Didn’t think this would be an issue until reconnecting the the wires and finding the that some of the wires don’t reach. I had to cut the wires and and a bridge to lengthen and reconnect wires then heat shrink the wires back together. The picture shows the new installed and the old one I took out. You can clearly see the solenoid teeth face a different direction.

Great value needs a little tweaking
This was 1/2 the price of the OEM from repair clinic so I got this one. Everything is the same but the orientation of the solenoids are different. Had to unbundle the wires to get them to fit and the one would not reach in the oriented position I had to splice and extend the wire. No big deal for me took a few minutes.Since this is a part that fits many models maybe one size fits all makes the price cheaper being the only difference between the models may be solenoid orientation. If you do not mind un winding the electrical tape on the wires and MAYBE splicing one longer then this will work for you. Really depends on the machine you have it is either a 100% fit or needs some tweaking due to solenoid orientation. Almost 5 stars 4.5

I should have listened to the first reviewer
Even though there was only a $10 difference between this part and the OEM, I purchased this one because Amazon could get it to me faster and I need my washing machine fixed asap. The valve fits into the machine perfectly, but two of the solenoids are oriented almost 180 degrees differently than the original part. Based on the product picture, I thought that I would be able to just flip them, but the plastic clips that hold the solenoid in place are positioned differently enough that there's simply no way to reorient them so that the solenoids aren't blocking each other or the wires clips can even reach the solenoids. Returning for OEM.

Great product for an easy repair.
The product was just as it was described. I knew that the harness was going to be shorter on 2 of the connections due to the product description and pictures that were provided. I had the ability to add sections of wire to the harness to make it work.I purchased this part to repair my mom's washing machine that was having issues with filling up and reporting an "LF" code. The repair time took me about 30 minutes from start to finish to perform. I would recommend this to others that are looking for something like this to fix their machine.

Seems to work - but not an exact replacement.
Seems to be working but it was not an exact replacement for my MVWB725BW0 bravos XL Maytag. There were a couple slight modifications to the positioning of the valve magnets I had to overcome. See photos for highlighted valves. The one circled in blue I had to pull off of the valve shaft snd flip around. All the ones in yellow were slightly off from the OEM part.

Soldering is required
For me, this was exactly what I needed. I had to cut the wires off the old broken piece as they were soldiered to it. Then I had to soldier the wires (12 total) to the new piece. Otherwise you need to buy the piece with the wires already attached.

Had to modify wiring harness for this to fit.
When installed, one of the solenoids electrical connect tabs were oriented incorrectly. I ended up having to modify my wiring harness to make it fit. It may have been possible to remove the solenoid and rotate it but it seemed securely attached. After all, why should one have to modify a part to make it work in the washing machine for which it was designed. It does work, but the installation could have been much easier if the part was correctly built.

Be sure your model number matches.
Not an exact match to original. Wiring connectors were on different sides of solenoid valves. Worked but wiring was a little tight.Petfect in operation.
