Ikea Dishwasher Valve

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It regulates the flow of water into the machine. This valve opens and closes to allow the right amount of water in during various cycles, ensuring dishes are cleaned effectively without wasting water. 

Over time, the water inlet valve can fail due to mineral buildup from hard water, wear and tear from frequent use, or mechanical failure of the valve components. A malfunctioning valve can lead to problems such as insufficient water entering the dishwasher, leading to poorly cleaned dishes, or leaking, which can cause water damage over time.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

• Dishwasher not filling with water
• Water filling too slowly or overfilling
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle
• Leaks around the dishwasher

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. The water inlet valve is responsible for regulating the flow of water into the dishwasher. It is connected to the main water supply and opens and closes as needed to allow water to enter the appliance at the appropriate time and in the correct quantity. 

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve can include mineral deposits that clog the valve, a failure in the valve's solenoid, or wear and tear over time that affects the valve's ability to open and close properly.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

• Dishwasher not filling with water
• Water filling too slowly or too quickly
• Water leaking from the dishwasher
• Unusual noises during the fill cycle

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Note: The white plug connector can be disconnected to allow for connection of the dishwasher wiring if needed.

The Inlet Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher during the wash cycle. This assembly ensures that the correct amount of water enters the dishwasher to clean dishes effectively.

You should replace the inlet assembly if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad inlet assembly can include wear and tear from regular use, blockages from debris or mineral buildup, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning inlet assembly can lead to inadequate water flow, which affects the dishwasher’s cleaning performance.

Symptoms of a bad inlet assembly include:

• The dishwasher not filling with water or filling slowly
• Water leaks around the inlet area
• Error codes related to water intake issues
• The dishwasher stopping mid-cycle or not starting

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

This flapper valve is the dishwasher's one-way drain check. It directs wastewater out and helps prevent backflow into the tub, promoting complete draining and reducing standing water, odors, and water returning after the drain cycle.

• Maintains one-way water flow from the sump/pump to the drain hose
• Helps prevent backflow from the sink or air gap into the dishwasher tub
• Wear, warping, or sticking can lead to slow draining or water left in the tub
• May also present as water backing into the tub after a cycle or intermittent drain faults

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Access the valve at the drain outlet/pump area; note hose and clamp orientation
• Match the original valve orientation; the flapper should open toward the drain hose (direction of flow)
• After reassembly, run a short fill-and-drain test and inspect for leaks and proper draining

The Water Level Float is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It helps regulate the water level within the dishwasher by rising with the water level and signaling the control board to shut off the water inlet valve when the appropriate level is reached.

Causes of a bad water level float can include wear and tear, mineral buildup or debris obstructing its movement, or damage due to mishandling. Over time, these issues can prevent the float from moving freely or accurately signaling the water level.

Symptoms of a bad water level float include:

• Dishwasher overfilling or underfilling
• Water leaks during the wash cycle
• The dishwasher not completing cycles correctly
• Error codes related to water level issues

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

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in the hydraulic system by controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher. The valve is designed to precisely regulate water pressure and supply the appropriate amounts of water at specific times during each washing cycle.

Causes of a bad valve include wear and tear over time, mineral buildup that obstructs flow, or damage from freezing or overheating. 

Symptoms of a bad valve include:

• Improper or inconsistent water levels during the cycle
• Leaks or flooding in the base of the dishwasher 
• Inability to select or begin washing cycles
• Illumination of error codes relating to water problems

This OEM Frigidaire replacement part is also compatible with Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models. 

This overfill control float sits in the dishwasher tub and rises with the water level to signal the float switch to stop filling. Replacing a cracked or sticking float helps prevent leaks and recurring fill issues. What it does:

• Rises with the water level to actuate the float switch and stop the inlet valve
• Helps prevent overfilling and water leaking from the door
• A float stuck in the UP position can cause no fill or short fill
• A float stuck DOWN or damaged can allow overfilling

• 1 overfill control float

• Disconnect power and turn off water before servicing
• Remove the lower rack; lift out the old float from its guide and clear any debris in the well
• Insert the new float, ensuring it moves freely and reliably actuates the switch when raised

This float detects and monitors water levels in the appliance's sump/drain area to help prevent overfilling and water pooling. Replacing a damaged or stuck float restores proper water sensing and reduces leak risk. What it does:

• Senses water level in the drain pan or sump so the appliance can stop or redirect water flow
• Helps prevent water from overflowing or pooling under the appliance
• Can stop false fill/overfill conditions caused by a stuck or broken float
• Fault symptoms include water pooling, continuous or unexplained filling, or failure to drain properly

• Always unplug the appliance before accessing internal panels or service areas
• Remove the required access panels or trim to reach the sump/drain area; follow the model's service manual
• Handle the float and any clips or wiring carefully to avoid damage; reconnect any electrical connectors securely
• After installation, restore power and run a manual fill/drain test to verify proper operation
