This water inlet valve regulates the flow of household water into the dishwasher during each fill. Replacing a worn or clogged valve restores proper filling and consistent wash performance while helping prevent long fill errors. What it does:
- Electrically opens and closes to allow the correct amount of water into the tub.
- Maintains proper water level for wash and rinse phases.
- Common failure symptoms: no water entering, slow/low fill, long fill or "faucet"/fill errors, or leakage from the valve body.
- Internal screen can clog with debris, restricting flow.
What's included: 1 water inlet valve assembly. Install notes:
- Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing.
- Access the valve near the front/bottom of the dishwasher; place a towel or pan to catch residual water.
- Move wires and water connections one at a time; transfer any mounting hardware or fittings from the original valve as needed.
- Restore water and power, check for leaks, and run a test fill; ensure the float/float switch moves freely.
