Maytag washer fill valve. Where to buy?

[Lonedrake]

My girlfriend rents out her townhome in Osceola. It overfilled tonight. We went over there and cleaned up the water and I took it apart...at least far enough to take out the fill valve. I assume thats the problem....and I hope it is. But my problem is that I promised the renter that I would fix it tomorrow(wed) I live in Becker and so far I have not been able to locate any maytag parts(online) between Becker and Osceola. Seems everything is in Mpls/ st.paul. Its already a 90 min drive one way. Anybody know some places in the Cambridge,princeton,North Branch area that would have the part?

m&h appliance in cloud would have it, might be a little less of a drive for you

Dey Appliance in Vadnais Heights will have it. May also have a bad pressure switch, that's what tells the CW to stop filling once it gets to the correct level.

Thanks. I ended up going to St. Louis park to get the valve.

I replaced it and the washer still leaked. The pressure switch hose was disconnected. I am not sure if that was the original problem....or it pulled loose when I pulled the top up. But the intake screen on the hot water was full of sediment; so its probably good that I replaced it. It was working fine and not leaking when I left!

i had the same problem on a new kenmore. the whole house flooded before we relieazed what what going on. kenmore repair came out and added some adhesive to the hose to keep if from coming off again. they paid for the flooded house and clean up.
