00422245 Bosch Hot Water Inlet Valve for Washing Machine

Hot Water Inlet Valve for Washing Machine

This component manages the entry of hot water into your washing machine. It is essential for resolving issues such as leaks, inadequate filling, slow filling times, or when the machine operates with only cold water. This valve is a genuine OEM part designed specifically for Bosch washing machines, but it also fits models from Thermador, Gaggenau, and select Kenmore.

The function of the Hot Water Inlet Valve is to regulate hot water flow, which is vital for wash cycles that require warm or hot water. The valve is triggered by the washing machine’s control system to open at the right moment, mixing the correct amount of hot water with cold to achieve the desired temperature.

Common problems with the hot water inlet valve stem from sediment accumulation due to hard water, normal wear and tear, or electrical issues that prevent the valve from functioning properly.

Signs of a faulty Hot Water Inlet Valve include:

- Water that remains cold
- No water entering the washing machine
- Water leaks near the valve area

This part ensures your washing machine operates efficiently and with the necessary water temperature for optimal cleaning.
