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.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM9283632)

1 Answer

Charlie, With this issue, the most common causes for this issue will be that the cold water side of the valve is not allowing water to flow into the unit or the pressure switch not resetting. Check to make sure that the cold water side is not clogged with debris and then check to make sure that the valve is getting 120 vac to the valve. If they are not clogged and there is 120 vac to the valve then the valve will be faulty and need to be replaced.

Pokey Joe for Model Number LA5580XSW2

I installed this today. The original inlet valve was attached to the bracket so when you secured the bracket everything was tight. With this replacement model, the valve and bracket are separate. I can install and secure the bracket with the original screws but the inlet valve itself is just kind of hanging there. There is no hole for the extra screw provided, not sure where it would go anyway. I figure when I attach it to the hoses they will keep it in place but this doesn't seem quite right. Any ideas on what I might have done wrong?

Hello Pokey Joe, The screw is used to mount the valve to the new bracket. Put the two inlet ports where the hoses will screw onto the valve through the bracket and slide it until the holes line up for the bracket and the plastic hole made at the end of the valve. The existing screws are then used to mount the bracket to the rear panel of the machine.

John, Make sure that the water valve has constant power to it and if it does then this will be a faulty water valve.

Nick, The valve can be checked for resistance per the manufacturer specs. Remember if the valve is receiving voltage [120VAC] and not supplying water then it needs to be replaced.
