By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18021768
Manufacturer Part Number: WP2315576

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.

Manish for Model Number GI6FDRXXY07

My Ice Maker was not getting any water. The water dispenser was working fine. When I tested the water Inlet valve I did not see continuity in one of the 2 solenoid coils with 200 ohms setting. I ordered a new water Inlet valve from your website and before I replaced it, I tried to test it for the continuity in both coils. One of the coils still does not show continuity. I believe the part I received is defective and I need to reach out to your customer service for replacement.

Answer

Hello Manish, There are two solenoids on the water valve because one is for the water dispense and one is for the icemaker. It is very doubtful that you would receive a water inlet valve with the same problem you are having with the water valve on the unit. You should use a straw or something stiff and clean to insert into the fill tube to make sure it is not frozen up.
