The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is a crucial component responsible for controlling the flow of water into the washing machine tub during the fill cycles.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

  • Washing machine not filling with water or filling slowly
  • Leaks or water drips around the valve or water supply connections
  • Improper water temperature mixing, resulting in incorrect wash temperatures
  • Error codes or warning lights related to water supply or fill issues

Causes of a faulty water inlet valve can include sediment buildup or obstructions within the valve, mechanical wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or problems with the solenoid that controls the valve's operation.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore washing machines.

Tom for Model Number ED22ZRXXW01

I have a whirlpool fridge with a single ice dispenser. I am currently on the the third water valve in 6 weeks. They are all failing electronically. Measuring the voltage I am seeing 124.4 VAC, when calling for water. What I thought was weird is I am seeing anywhere between 2 to 12 vac on that circuit when it isn't calling for water. My question is two fold, will this low voltage in the off cycle cause the failures I am seeing, and what is the correct voltage during the off cycle?

Answer

Tom, With the water valve having failed several times within a few weeks then the issue would most likely be in the wiring of the unit or in the icemaker sending this extra voltage during the off cycle. The extra voltage could cause this issue.
