Customer Questions and Answers for Valve (Water Inlet) by Whirlpool

This replacement water inlet valve controls the flow of water into the appliance, restoring proper fill and preventing overfill or leaks. Use when the unit doesn't fill, fills slowly, or runs continuously. What it does:

• Regulates incoming water to allow correct fill levels for wash/dispense cycles.
• Common symptom: appliance fails to fill or takes much longer than normal to fill.
• Common symptom: continuous or intermittent water flow when the appliance is off.
• Common symptom: visible leaking at the valve or water pooling beneath the appliance.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any work.
• Relieve line pressure and place towels to catch any residual water; be prepared to cap or replace inlet hoses/seals if damaged.
• Tighten fittings to manufacturer torque, restore water and power, then run a short cycle and check for leaks.
