Description

The Water Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool washing machines. It is responsible for regulating the flow of incoming water into the washer.

During cycles, the water valve opens and closes at timed intervals to admit the proper amounts of hot and cold water into the tub. It works in conjunction with other components like the water level sensor to fill the tub to the needed depth for each wash program.

Causes of a faulty valve can include mineral deposits clogging internal filters and sensors over time. Mechanical damage from rough handling may also impact performance.

Symptoms of a bad water valve include:

• Inability to select water temperature options
• Erratic or incomplete water filling of the tub
• Fluctuating water levels during cycles
• Persistent error codes related to water issues

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
