The Hot Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. This part controls the flow of hot water into the washing machine during the wash cycle, ensuring that the machine receives the correct amount of hot water for optimal cleaning performance.
Common causes of a bad inlet valve include wear and tear over time, clogging from mineral deposits or debris, and electrical failures that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly.
Symptoms of a bad Hot Water Inlet Valve include:
- The washing machine not filling with hot water
- Water leaking from the valve or connections
- The machine filling slowly or not at all
- Error codes related to water flow issues
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
