Manufacturer Part Number: W11210459

The Washer Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer, opening and closing to allow the correct amount of hot and cold water into the machine during different stages of the wash cycle.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include wear and tear over time, sediment build-up, or damage from high water pressure. These issues can cause the valve to malfunction, leading to improper water levels or no water entering the machine at all.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

  • Washer not filling with water
  • Slow fill or no water flow
  • Water leaking from the valve area
  • Inconsistent water temperature during cycles

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