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 M.N.M., If the temperature selector on this HSWP1000M4WW has no issues, the problem will be in the timer WH45X22698 or the harness. You should be aware that the distance the water heater is from the machine will play a part in water temperature.

Marilyn, it may be possible that the vacuum break WP3360977 has a partial clog causing some water to be left after a wash cycle. If this is the case, it can be cleaned or replaced to correct the issue. However, if it is not clogged, then the water valve 285805 is leaking by and there may be a small leak at the faucets as well in this case. The water valves would not be able to leak water by unless the faucet valves are not closing fully based on the description provided.

Robert, They are not designed for removal. You can use an old toothbrush to clean what you can. That's why replacement is necessary if they are clogged really bad. Part is W11210459 if you need to replace.
