A little trick to releasing the console when installing valve...
Have had an acct wt VSS for years and always prompt shipping wt good quality both OEM and aftermarket parts alike.
Whirlpool has used the spring-clip retainer system for years now on their top load washers. However on the WTW 8127 LW0, there's a dip in the top just ahead of the console, and the glass lid makes getting the putty knife in from the front. The spring-loaded hinge cartridges make access from underneath (thru the lid opening) problematic as well.
Inserting the blade (1"- 1'1/2" wide) from the side, under the plastic edge, as far forward as possible, and then sliding it back towards the back of the machine is much easier than trying to get around the lid and into the recess from the front.

Repair went fine
I put this part in the same way I took the old one out. Took me about 5 minutes and worked fine. Part came on time and was packed well.
My appliance guy checked 120 dealers with no luck but I found what I needed at Virginia Service Supply, saved me from having to buy a new appliance.
Well done!
One wrench, a bit of disassembly (take photos along the way), easy part swaps, and reassembly and now I’ve got a washer that actually agitates again. Time will tell how it handles heavy loads; it originally failed while washing a painter’s tarp.
Note: I didn’t end up using the black cone piece, as it didn’t fit my model, but everything else in the kit fit perfectly and went in without a hitch.
The knob arrived super fast and was exactly as pictured. Fit perfectly and i am no longer upset that the original knob broke because you cant tell the difference. The item was easy to order and website was easy to navigate. Thanks!
