The Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It controls the flow of water into the dishwasher during each cycle phase. The valve regulates water pressure and volume to provide the right amount for washing, rinsing, and adjusts flow based on cycle settings. 

Causes of a bad water inlet valve include mineral buildup from water hardness inhibiting movement or damage allowing leaks.

Symptoms of a bad inlet valve are:

• Incomplete or inadequate washing
• Long cycle times or shutting off prematurely
• Water leaking or spraying inside machine

This genuine GE OEM replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Note: This is the complete solenoid assembly kit. For armature & linkage assembly only, use WD1X1316.

The Solenoid Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher by activating or deactivating the drain valve. This assembly is essential for ensuring that the dishwasher fills and drains at the correct times during the wash cycle, which is pivotal for the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the appliance.

Common causes for a Solenoid Assembly to fail include wear and tear over time, mineral buildup from hard water, or electrical failures that prevent the solenoid from operating as intended. 

Symptoms of a bad Solenoid Assembly include:

• Failure of the dishwasher to drain properly, leading to water accumulation at the bottom.
• The dishwasher not filling with water as it should, affecting the cleaning process.
• Unusual noises coming from the dishwasher, which may indicate the solenoid is failing to engage or disengage correctly.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
