Description

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part controls the flow of water into the washer during the fill cycles. The valve opens to allow water to enter the tub and then closes once the desired water level is reached, ensuring the proper amount of water is used for washing. This valve includes the thermistor.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include mineral deposits and sediment buildup, electrical issues such as faulty solenoids, or wear and tear from frequent use.  

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• The washer not filling with water
• The washer filling slowly or not stopping filling
• Leaks from the valve area
• Inconsistent water levels during cycles
