  • Leaks or water drips around the valve or water supply connections
  • Improper water temperature mixing, resulting in incorrect wash temperatures
  • Error codes or warning lights related to water supply or fill issues

Causes of a faulty water inlet valve can include sediment buildup or obstructions within the valve, mechanical wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or problems with the solenoid that controls the valve's operation.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM18021768)

1 Answer

Hello Anthony, You need to make sure you have turned the water back on to the unit and then verify voltage to the water valve. Also make sure the wires to the water valve solenoid have been connected to the new valve. Since the voltage is sent to the water valve by a set of contracts in the ice maker, the icemaker could be at fault. Also make sure there is no clear ice build-up in the fill tube. For more in depth assistance, always include the model number from the units' I.D. tag.

Hello Louis, This connection is not polarized so as long as they are connected, which way they are connected will not change the operation.

Hello Robert. You need to check the freezer temp and make sure it is 0 to 5°. If so, then it sounds like you need to replace the icemaker in the unit.

Hello David. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Allan. You cutt off the lines where they are smooth and straight. Then insert them into the compression fittings until the bottom out and lock into the fitting.
