Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve - WPW10567653 or W10567653

It seems Whirlpool discontinued this inlet valve and it would've been a shame to replace my dishwasher just because the inlet valve failed. So I was happy to find someone who had this in stock. Unfortunately first attempt by appliance-repair-technician to complete the repair has not gone well due to the need for an elbow fitter, which he couldn't get loose from the old inlet valve. So the only suggestion I would make--because customer service, shipping, price are all first-rate--would be, maybe when customers buy these appliance components you might suggest some of the smaller parts like adapters, fitters, washers, etc that go with them. I'm thinking of trying to fix this issue myself--replacing the inlet valve seems straight-forward.
