Customer Questions and Answers for Water Inlet Valve by Whirlpool

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part

By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18019347
Manufacturer Part Number: WP22004333

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part controls the flow of water into the washer during the fill cycles. The valve opens to allow water to enter the tub and then closes once the desired water level is reached, ensuring the proper amount of water is used for washing.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include mineral deposits and sediment buildup, electrical issues such as faulty solenoids, or wear and tear from frequent use.  

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

  • The washer not filling with water
  • The washer filling slowly or not stopping filling
  • Leaks from the valve area
  • Inconsistent water levels during cycles

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

Potential series changes might cause the valve to be part number 12002158. Make sure to verify your model number for the correct part.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM18019347)

Teke for Model Number MAV7504EWW

I spoke to a great customer service agent, Curtis, who assisted me with part # AP4027832 as advised over the phone by a local repairman for my Maytag Atlantis top load. The problem: The water was not cutting off after the spin cycle, and now not cutting off going into the wash mode. Was able to turn both water valves off and drain the washer, no problem. I was told this is a water valve issue. Question: Could it be a water pump issue? Please advise and of the part # as I may want to have it on hand just in case when the repairman arrives. #2 Problem: Washer seems load during the wash cycle in general- tub seems to be aligned- no matter what the size load. Is this a BELT ISSUE? thank you for your help and response here- I would like to order all parts today to ship this afternoon. Much appreciated

Hello Teke. If you can turn off the machine and stop the water, then it is not the valves. However, based on what you said, you have to turn the water off to stop the water. If so, the water valve WP22004333 is bad and will need to be replaced. It is not the pump causing the problem you are having. Hope this helps.

Hello Steve. You will need to check the hoses and the screens for clogs. If they are good, and there is power coming tot he water valve, you will need to replace the water valve. If there is no power to the water valve, you will need to check the lid switch and the pressure switch. Hope this helps.

Hi John. Sounds to me like you need the water valve part # is WP22004333. The upper injector / thermister is part # 22004347. But it sounds more that the inlet valve is defective if you no longer get any cold water at all. Thank you.

Hello Diane! To change the valve WP22004333 you have to remove the back panel, remove the two screws holding the valve and remove the hoses. Install in reverse order. Hope this helps!
