Ge WD15X26140 Water Inlet Valve OEM Part

I figured it was the valve, but searching on the Appliance Parts site, somebody said they fixed it by replacing the switch flood assembly. So I order both parts. The Switch Flood Assembly was easiest to replace, so I decided to try that first. When I pulled out the old assembly, I noticed it did not 'rattle', as the new one did. So, there is apparently a float ball that had gotten stuck. I put the new one in and poof.. it worked. The only update to the instructions is a reminder that the assembly has a wiring harness connected, so you need to be a little gentle when you remove the assembly. One of the symptoms that might be helpful. The unit would make a 'grinding' noise at the start of the cycle. I assume this was it trying to drain itself before starting the wash.

Replaced the food switch assembly. I ordered a water inlet valve as well, though I did not need it. Once I opened the new flood switch and could feel the ball valve rattle when shaking it (and the old one did not rattle) I knew that was the problem. It would be a good initial diagnostic recommended check of the original flood valve to shake it after removal to see/hear if the ball inside rattles as it should.

Shut off the water going to the dishwasher, remove the toe kick, unscrew the dishwasher from the countertop, slide the dishwasher out about 12 inches, it is located on the left side, remove a wire clip , a rubber hose and the supply line,remove the two screws on the bottom, than reinstall the new part, reconnect everything, turn on the water, check for leaks, reinstall the toe kick to the dishwasher, job is done

Spoke to an appliance repairman who said it does not pay to fix and is too difficult I had already ordered the parts. So I called AppliancePartsPros.com. They said no problem if I wanted to return parts BUT the technician suggested that all appliances are repairable I gave it a shot I had to disconnect the dishwasher, same as if I was to replace it Followed on AppliancePartsPros.com repair parts video and replaced the pump, inlet valve, and solenoid all took about an hour and the dishwasher is working better than ever THANKS AppliancePartsPros.com

My husband accidentally cross treaded the plastic water valve on our new dishwasher, easy enough to do since its plastic. So, GE was coming to fix it in a 7 days. Fine, except I had a huge party in two days and the dishwasher would be a tremendous help! I ordered a new valve on a Friday, with the excellent assistance from the live chat, and chose standard delivery. They said the average delivery time was 1.7 days. It was at my house the next day, on Saturday. Hubby replaced the valve and installed the washer the morning of the party. I have ordered parts for my fridge as well from AppliancePartsPros.com and have always been very satisfied. They have tons of parts, very convenient, excellent assistance, fast delivery, and great return policy. Will always go here before I set foot in a big box store!
