The Hot Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Bosch washing machines. It regulates the entry of hot water into the machine, crucial for cycles requiring warm or hot washes. Activated by the machine's control system, this valve opens at the precise moment to allow the correct amount of hot water to mix with the cold, ensuring the selected temperature setting is accurately achieved.
The causes behind issues with the hot water inlet valve often include sediment build-up from hard water, wear and tear from regular use, or electrical failures preventing the valve from operating.
Symptoms of a malfunctioning Hot Water Inlet Valve include:
- Water that is too cold
- No water entering the machine
- Leaks around the valve area
This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
