Description

This inlet valve controls the flow of water into your appliance so it fills when needed and stops when not. Replacing a worn or leaking valve restores proper filling and prevents overfilling or water damage. What it does:

• Opens and closes to admit water into the appliance during normal cycles
• Stops water flow to prevent overfilling or unwanted continuous filling
• A faulty valve can cause no water, slow fills, or leaks at the valve connection
• Works with the appliance's control system to time fills and maintain correct levels

What's included:

• One inlet valve

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair
• Drain remaining water from the appliance and hoses to avoid spills
• Replace using basic hand tools; keep fittings hand-tight and check for leaks after reconnecting water
