The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part ensures that the right amount of water enters the washing machine at the correct times, contributing to optimal washing conditions and efficient use of water.  

A failing Water Inlet Valve can be caused by mineral deposits from hard water, which can clog or restrict water flow, or by electrical failures that prevent the solenoids from operating correctly.  

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

  • The washing machine not filling with water
  • Water filling too slowly or continuously
  • Water leaking inside the washer
  • Unusual noises during the fill cycle

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

Matt, Thanks for the question!!! Check the screen that is in the cold side of the water valve. Remove it and clean it. If that does not solve the issue the valve will need to be replaced.
