Product Description
This Front Load Washer Water Inlet Valve lets the hot and cold water into your washing machine and distributes it around to the dispensers. If the valve is leaking or your appliance isn't filling with water as expected, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. Please note: The valve should never be disassembled and cleaned, only replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh?« Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh?« brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
