Description

The Cold-Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part specific to Whirlpool washing machines. It is responsible for allowing cold water to enter the wash tub during specific cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad cold water inlet valve include:

• Inability to select cold water cycles 
• No cold water entering the tub even when valve is called for
• Water leaks around the valve area
• High water usage as the valve fails to close fully

Causes can be mineral buildup over time restricting water flow, or mechanical failure of internal components like seals or diaphragms. Replacing the inlet valve prevents further issues like inconsistent fill levels due to too much or too little water entering the tub.
