Manufacturer Part Number: 285805

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It controls the flow of hot and cold water into the washer. This component is crucial for starting the wash cycle, as it opens to allow water to enter and closes to stop the flow once the appropriate level is reached, ensuring efficient wash performance.

Causes of a bad Water Inlet Valve can include mineral deposits and sediment build-up, which can obstruct the flow of water, or mechanical failure such as a broken solenoid that prevents the valve from opening or closing properly.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include:

  • Water not filling the tub at the beginning of the cycle
  • Water leaking from the valve
  • Washer not starting due to inability to fill
  • Unusual noises from the valve area during operation

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

Hello Rosetta, If the power cord is plugged in and the water is turned on to the unit, the water valve, pressure switch, or a clogged pressure switch hose can cause this issue. These are issues with a top load machine. The model number you provided is a front load machine. Since the parts for the two are not interchangeable, you may want to verify the model number off of the units' I.D. tag and get back with us.

Hello Joe. If you can stop the water from entering the machine by turning off the timer or unplugging the unit, you will need to look for a bad pressure hose or replace the pressure switch. If the only way to shut off the water is at the shut off for the water hoses, you will need to replace the water valve in the unit.

Hello Sophia, If the unit is filling with water, the water valve is fine. You should check the pump WP3363394 for debris and the motor coupler 285753A for wear and damage.
