This water inlet valve regulates the flow of household water into the dishwasher at the start of each cycle. Replacing a weak, clogged, or leaking valve restores proper fill level for reliable performance and helps prevent leaks or fill errors.

• Opens to allow the correct amount of water into the tub; closes to stop the fill
• Common fix for dishwasher not filling or taking too long to fill
• Can resolve low water level that leads to poor cleaning results
• May stop water from seeping into the tub when the dishwasher is off
• Replace if the valve body leaks or the inlet screen is damaged/clogged

• Disconnect power and turn off the dishwasher's water supply before servicing
• Access the valve behind the lower toe/kick panel; place a towel to catch residual water
• Note wire and hose positions and move them to the new valve one-for-one
• Restore water and power, then run a fill to check for leaks and proper operation

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 water inlet valve regulates the flow of household water into the dishwasher during each fill. Replacing a worn or clogged valve restores proper filling and consistent wash performance while helping prevent long fill errors. What it does:

• Electrically opens and closes to allow the correct amount of water into the tub.
• Maintains proper water level for wash and rinse phases.
• Common failure symptoms: no water entering, slow/low fill, long fill or "faucet"/fill errors, or leakage from the valve body.
• Internal screen can clog with debris, restricting flow.

• Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before servicing.
• Access the valve near the front/bottom of the dishwasher; place a towel or pan to catch residual water.
• Move wires and water connections one at a time; transfer any mounting hardware or fittings from the original valve as needed.
• Restore water and power, check for leaks, and run a test fill; ensure the float/float switch moves freely.

This water inlet valve assembly regulates when and how much water enters the appliance. Replacing a failing valve restores proper filling or water delivery and helps resolve no-water, slow-fill, or drip-through-the-valve issues.

• Opens and closes to control incoming water flow as commanded by the control system
• Directs water to the appliance's water circuit for proper operation
• Common symptoms: no water entering, weak/slow flow, water seeping in when off
• Physical clues: cracked housing, mineral buildup, or a valve that hums but doesn't pass water

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Keep towels handy; relieve line pressure before disconnecting tubing/fittings
• Transfer connectors and any mounting hardware one-for-one; ensure tubing is fully seated and use appropriate thread sealant if your model uses threaded fittings
• Restore water, check all joints for leaks, then restore power and run a test cycle

This vacuum break is the washer's water-inlet anti-siphon fitting. It maintains a required air gap so the tub fills properly without drawing used water back into the supply, helping prevent leaks and backflow issues.

• Maintains an air gap at the inlet to prevent backflow/siphoning into household water lines
• Helps ensure consistent, unobstructed water flow into the tub
• Replaces a cracked, clogged, or leaking vacuum break at the fill area
• Common symptoms include leaks from the rear/top during fill, visible cracks, or restricted/noisy fill

• Unplug the appliance and shut off both water supplies before servicing
• Access the fill/inlet area; note hose routing and part orientation
• Remove hose clamps/hoses and the old vacuum break; install the new part and secure clamps
• Restore water and power, then run a fill test and check carefully for leaks

• Provides a rigid mount and enclosure for the associated component(s)
• Maintains correct alignment and sealing to prevent leaks or air loss
• Protects internal parts from damage and vibration
• Common failure signs: visible cracks, broken tabs, rattling, poor fit, or leakage around the assembly

• Housing

• Disconnect power before servicing; if the part interfaces with water, shut off the water supply
• Note orientation and transfer any screws, clips, seals, or O-rings from the original part
• Inspect mating seals and fittings; replace any worn gaskets to ensure a proper seal
• After reassembly, restore power/water and test for proper operation and any leaks or noise

This mixing valve bracket secures the washer's water inlet valve to the cabinet, keeping the valve steady and properly aligned for hose connections. A correct-fit bracket helps reduce rattles and potential leaks caused by a loose valve.

• Mounts and supports the water inlet/mixing valve on the rear panel
• Maintains proper alignment for hot and cold supply connections
• Helps reduce vibration and rattling noises during fill
• Common signs it's needed: loose or dangling valve, misaligned hose connections, or leaks at the valve fittings

• Disconnect power and turn off both water supplies; relieve pressure before removing hoses
• Access the rear of the washer and remove fasteners securing the existing bracket/valve
• Transfer the valve to the new bracket, reusing the original hardware
• Reattach the bracket to the cabinet, reconnect hoses, restore power and water, then check for leaks
