Description
The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is an electronic solenoid valve located near the water supply line connection that controls water flow into the dishwasher during cycles. The valve precisely regulates water pressure and timing to fill the tub at optimal levels and temperatures needed for each cycle.
Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include mineral or sediment buildup that affects valve operation, or issues with the internal electronic solenoid.
Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:
- Dishwasher not filling with water or filling slowly
- Inability to run cycles or fill to proper levels
- Water leaks from the inlet area
- Electronic control board errors
This Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
