By "solenoid valve" I'll presume that you mean the inlet solenoid valve which determines whether a cycle receives hot, cold, or warm water, based on temp selection and cycle phase.
Every Whirlpool machine which I have serviced has them in the rear, affixed to the back of the cabinet with two washer hex head screws. Undo the hot and cold inlet feed hoses, lift the top (press a 2" broadknife in between the top panel and the front panel a few inches in from the left and right sides-there are two hidden clips which you must depress to unlatch the top) and hinge it to the machine rear, you will see the solenoid valve assembly in the left rear of the machine. Undo the outlet hose-it's secured with a spring clip, and also undo the four wire connectors, noting order so hot and cold don't become mixed. The neutral is usually a daisy-chain connector. Then remove the solenoid valve assembly.
To preclude fouling of a new valve, after reassembly, fit conical screen washers with the hot and cold supply lines if not already supplied. This will help to avoid rust flakes causing valve sticking.
