Washer Inlet Strainer (Water Inlet Screen)

5.0 (1)

By: Whirlpool

Part Number: WP22002960

This small strainer sits inside the washer's water inlet valve and screens out sand, rust, and sediment from the supply lines. Replacing a clogged or missing screen restores normal fill flow and helps protect the valve.

Filters debris from incoming hot and cold water before it reaches the valve and tub
Helps maintain consistent water flow during the fill cycle
A clogged or damaged screen can cause slow fill, very long fill times, or no fill
Common causes for replacement include mineral buildup or rust/sediment from supply lines

What's included: One inlet strainer/screen insert. Install notes:

Unplug the washer and turn off both water supplies
Place a towel or shallow pan, relieve hose pressure, and disconnect the fill hoses from the inlet valve
Carefully pull out the old screen (needle-nose pliers work well); press the new screen fully and evenly into the valve port
Reconnect hoses, restore water and power, and check for leaks
Tip: Many washers have separate hot and cold inlets—inspect both screens and replace as needed
