Customer Questions and Answers for Water Inlet Valve (Washer) by Frigidaire

This is the water inlet valve that controls the flow of household water into your washer during fill and rinse. Replacing a failing valve restores proper filling performance and helps stop unintended water entry when the machine is idle.

• Opens and closes to allow the correct amount of water into the washer as commanded by the control
• Failure can cause no fill, slow/long fill, or continuous filling/fill when off
• Leaks from the valve body or hose connections indicate the valve should be replaced
• Electrical coil failure may lead to intermittent or no operation

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or pan to catch residual water; label and disconnect hoses and wiring
• Install the new valve; transfer any brackets or clips from the old part if needed
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks and run a test fill
