Customer Questions and Answers for Water Inlet Mixing Valve (Dual) by Spe

This dual water inlet mixing valve controls and blends the hot and cold supply during the fill cycle. Replacing a failing valve restores proper fill rate and water temperature selection for consistent wash performance.

• Opens and closes to admit hot and cold water as directed by the control, creating the selected temperature
• Helps maintain proper flow to the tub/dispenser during fill
• Common failure symptoms: no fill or slow fill, incorrect water temperature during fill, water continuing to drip or flow into the tub when the machine is off, or leaks from the valve body
• Humming from the valve with little or no water flow due to internal failure or clogged screens

• Disconnect power and shut off both water supplies before servicing; relieve line pressure
• Place towels, disconnect hoses, and note hot/cold orientation; inspect/clean inlet screens
• Transfer any brackets/fittings from the old valve if required; connect hoses securely without overtightening
• Turn water back on, check for leaks, then run a fill test to verify operation
