Description

This smart electronic water inlet valve controls the flow of fresh water into the dishwasher during each cycle. Replacing a weak, leaking, or stuck valve restores proper fill performance and helps prevent no-fill, slow-fill, or unintended filling. What it does:

• Opens and closes under control of the electronic board to admit water at the correct time
• Regulates incoming water so the tub fills to the proper level for each cycle
• Failure symptoms can include no fill or very slow filling
• May allow water to seep into the tub when off, or leak from the valve body/fittings

What's included:

• 1 water inlet valve assembly

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or tray to catch residual water; depressurize the supply line
• Move the wiring connectors one at a time to the new valve to avoid miswiring
• Restore water and check all connections for leaks; run a fill test to verify operation
