  • Opens when energized by the control; closes to stop water between cycles
  • Common signs of failure: no cold fill, slow fill, or dripping into the tub
  • May trigger fill/temperature errors or cause a loud hum with little/no water flow
What's included: 1 cold water inlet valve Install notes:
  • Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply before servicing
  • Place a towel or pan to catch residual water and relieve line pressure
  • Label and transfer hoses and wire connectors one-for-one to the new valve
  • Inspect/clean inlet screens and flush lines; check for leaks after a test fill

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve (Cold, Washer) (Part Number: OEM18025218)

1 Answer

Sadie, With the unit making a chattering noise when stopping the fill cycle, you should check first to make sure that the incoming water supply has good water pressure and then check the screens on the valve to make sure that they are not clogged. If these check ok then the issue will be the valve.

Hello Scott. The cold water valve sends water to 2 parts of the dispenser and the hot only 1 part of the dispenser. You may need to delute the softner with water to help it if it is to thick.

Hello Mike, Normally if a valve fails, it will be the cold water valve. The reason is that the mineral deposits and sedimentation on the hot side usually stay in the water heater so it's relatively protected. The cold water valve, on the other hand, has all of the sedimentation and mineral deposits go directly through it. The way to tell if the valve is bad is simple. Start the washer filling with cold water and unplug the washer. If the water continues to fill the machine, the valve has failed and will require replacement. If the water stops, it's usually the pressure switch. Let us know if we can provide any more assistance.

Hi Thom. Remove the top by removing the 3-screws at the back of the top. Then slide the top back and lift the top up. UN hook the electrical connector one at a time and see if its the cold water (dual) valve part # WP34001151. or the hot water (single) valve part # WP34001131. You may need to just feel which supply hose has water constantantly flowing in it to be able to tell. The OE code is the inability to drain code. Thank You.
