Water inlet valve assembly includes: Hot and cold inlet valves, thermistor, vacuum break and wiring harness.
The Water Inlet Valve Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines, designed to control the flow of hot and cold water into the washer. This component ensures that water enters the washing machine at the correct times during the wash cycle, filling the tub to the appropriate levels for efficient cleaning.
Causes for a Water Inlet Valve Assembly to fail include sediment buildup from hard water, which can block the valves, wear and tear on the solenoids over time, and electrical failures that prevent the valves from opening or closing properly.
Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Assembly include:
- The washing machine does not fill with water, or it fills very slowly.
- Water continues to drip into the tub even when the washer is off
- The washer fills with the wrong temperature of water
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
This part fixes the following symptoms
-
Will not stop filling with water
-
