The Cold Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part specific to Whirlpool washing machines. It is responsible for allowing cold water to enter the wash tub during specific cycles. 

Symptoms of a bad cold water inlet valve include:

  • Inability to select cold water cycles 
  • No cold water entering the tub even when valve is called for
  • Water leaks around the valve area
  • High water usage as the valve fails to close fully

Causes can be mineral buildup over time restricting water flow, or mechanical failure of internal components like seals or diaphragms. Replacing the inlet valve prevents further issues like inconsistent fill levels due to too much or too little water entering the tub.

This OEM Whirlpool replacement valve provides a tight seal and reliable water control. It restores cold water functions and is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Cold Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM18856359)

Brett for Model Number WTW5600XW0 Whirlpool Cabrio washer purchased March 2011

The hot water will not stop filling up the tub. The only way is to shut off at water supply in wall. I have looked at the troubleshooting guide and it suggests that the valve is stuck and needs to be replaced. However, there are 2 different valves showing and I'm not sure which one to choose. Also, I am not an experienced maintenance person and I'm wondering if this is a relatively easy repair job. Thanks !
