The Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool brand washing machines. It regulates water flow into the washer tub during fill cycles and shuts off the supply automatically when the proper water level is reached.
Causes of a bad inlet valve include mineral buildup inside the valve filter restricting flow over time, or mechanical failures of internal plastic parts like diaphragms and seals due to usage stress.
Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:
- Slow or inconsistent filling during wash cycles
- Water failing to shut off fully after the designated fill level
- An inability to properly meter incoming water supply amounts
- Water leaks noticed beneath or around the valve area
This OEM replacement valve ensures precise water flow regulation. Compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and select Kenmore models.
