The Water Inlet Valve Seal is an OEM part for GE washing machines, designed to ensure a watertight seal around the water inlet valve. This part helps prevent leaks by sealing the connection between the water inlet valve and the washing machine's internal tubing. 

Causes of a bad water inlet valve seal include normal wear and tear, exposure to hard water minerals that can erode the seal, and improper installation that may strain or damage the seal.

Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve Seal include:

• Water leaking from the back or underside of the washing machine
• Visible signs of wear or damage to the seal
• Unexplained increase in water usage or utility bills, which may indicate a slow leak

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

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for GE washing machines. It is responsible for controlling the entry of hot and cold water into the washing machine. This valve opens and closes at the appropriate times during the wash cycle to allow water to enter based on the selected temperature and wash settings.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve include mineral deposits from hard water, which can block the valve, and wear and tear from regular use, which can cause the valve to fail mechanically or electronically. Additionally, if the screens that filter the water before it enters the valve become clogged, water flow can be restricted, affecting the washing machine’s performance.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning water inlet valve include:

• The machine not filling with water.
• Water entering the machine slowly.
• Water leaking around the valve area.
• A noisy valve during operation.

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

This water valve harness connects the refrigerator's water inlet valve to the appliance wiring, restoring electrical continuity so the dispenser and icemaker receive power. Use it to replace a damaged or corroded connector assembly and regain reliable water flow control. What it does

• Provides the wiring connection between the control harness and the water inlet valve for proper valve operation
• Replaces frayed, burned, or corroded harnesses that can cause intermittent or no water flow
• Helps address symptoms such as no water dispensed, icemaker not filling, or visible damage to the valve connector
• Restores secure electrical contact to prevent arcing and poor valve performance

• One water valve harness

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting work
• Remove access panels as needed to reach the valve; note connector orientation and pin alignment before disconnecting
• Install the harness without forcing connectors; ensure a snug, fully seated connection for reliable operation
• If wiring or valve terminals are damaged, replace the damaged component rather than relying on repairs
