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.

Lou, The manufacturer does not supply information on the resistance values of the water valve. To figure out the resistance you would want to use the ohms law calculator. If you take 120 x 120 you will get 14700 and then divide that by the wattage that is on the side of the valve, you will then have your resistance. The best way to see if the valve is good would be to test for 120 VAC getting to the valve and if there is a voltage to it but no water flows through then the valve is faulty. A valve can read proper resistance and still be defective if the plunger is not moving up or down.

David, You need to use the appropriate water valve based on the serial number. The valves may look and act the same, but there is usually a change in the internal components. If your washer serial number starts with 12 thru 18 then use the W10821146. If the serial number starts with 19 or higher, you'll need to use the WP22004333. The 22004333 is a 60/40 fill valve. That means that when the washer is filling 60% of the water is cold and 40% of the water is hot. This is how manufacturers meet the energy efficient standards set by the government.
