Customer Questions and Answers for Water Valve by Whirlpool

Brian, Test to see if there is 120 vac to the cold water valve and if there is proper power then the valve is faulty and will need to be replaced.

Brian, Check for power to the cold valve when it should be calling for water. If there is power and no water the valve would likely need to be replaced. Anything further we will need the model/serial numbers to properly research your issue and give you the correct information and part numbers for the machine you are working on.

Larry, Yes, the water valve will correct the issue of the water leaking into the tub when not in use.

Evelyn, The F20 will indicate no water coming into the unit. This would cause the fabric softener to not dispense and could be caused by a clogged water valve screen or a possible faulty water valve.

Michael, If there is no water coming into the unit, test for 120 vac at the water valve and if there is no power then the control board will be the issue.

Mike, The F30 error code is a dispenser system error. 1. Unplug washer or disconnect power. 2. Check mechanical linkage from dispenser motor to the top of the dispenser. 3. Check the wire harness connections to the dispenser motor and Central Control Unit (CCU). 4. Check dispenser motor for powered rotations.

Gary, The F 20 error code " NO WATER DETECTED ENTERING MACHINE OR PRESSURE SWITCH TRIP NOT DETECTED" On your washer there are a few things to check, Check and clean the fill hose and valve screens. Check the wires between the flow meter WPW10110225 and the control board. Disconnect the air tube WPW10004260 from the water level switch WPW10514214, blow in the end of the tube, to clear any debris or sediment that may have accumulated in the fittings. Then check the wiring between the water level switch and the control board. If all's OK and the problem persists replace the CCU.

Mike, The coils on the valve are energized by 120 vac. If there is 120 vac getting to the valve then the issue will be a faulty valve and if there is no power then the control board would be the issue.
