Whirlpool WPW10158389 Fill Valve Assembly OEM Part

Recently my Kenmore dishwasher would start but would not fill with water. A quick test of the float switch reflected proper operation, AND voltage was being delivered TO the contact on the water inlet valve. I then removed power and checked for continuity on the contacts. This read “infinity” (Open circuit) which indicated a break in the coil inside the valve’s solenoid. As such the valve would not open to allow water to flow. I ordered the replacement water inlet valve from AppliancePartsPros. Once the part arrived I first tested it on the bench to confirm continuity and Ohm rating as spec’d by the manufacturer. The new valve metered at 1010 Ohms which was within the anticipated range. Installation of the part was quick and easy – due in large part to the videos on the AppliancePartsPros website. This was my second time ordering parts from AppliancePartsPros and once again, I was very pleased with every aspect of the order - as well the videos that assisted me in troubleshooting the problem and replacing the correct part. What most impressed me about this order was the speed in which the order was processed. I placed the order late afternoon on Tuesday November 24th and received it around the same time on Friday November 27th. I was very pleased that it arrived in only 3 days. Were it not for the fact that Thanksgiving fell on Thursday the 26th, I would have likely received it a day sooner. AppliancePartsPros will always be my first choice for parts availability, price and assistance in troubleshooting problems.

Videos were a great help in diagnosing the problem, identifying the part and making the repair.

Replaced with new one.

I looked on line and two items that they felt should be replace was the drain pump and the circulation motor. Our friend told me that since you got it apart, I should also replace the water inlet valve. I did all of these replacement part within 1 hour and put everything back. Now it works like brand new. It is very easy to replace those parts.

I replaced the water inlet valve, also cleaned filter and trash sump area where the cutter blades are at. NOW UNIT WORKS GREAT!!!!!!
