Description
This main water inlet valve controls washer water flow, allowing the machine to fill and switch between hot and cold as needed. Replacing a worn valve restores reliable filling and helps stop unwanted leaks or continuous filling. What it does:
- Opens and closes to route hot and cold water into the tub during fill cycles.
- Directly affects fill timing and water temperature selection.
- Fails can cause no-fill, slow fill, continuous fill, or leaking at the valve connection.
- Works with the washer's control signals and internal hoses to manage water delivery.
What's included: One main water inlet valve (single assembly) Install notes:
- Disconnect power and shut off house water supply before starting; relieve water pressure by running a drain cycle or opening a nearby faucet.
- Verify correct hose and connector orientation during installation; tighten fittings to OEM torque—do not overtighten.
- Inspect inlet hoses and seals; replace any damaged hoses or O-rings to prevent leaks.
