5304519252 Frigidaire Dishwasher Valve

Dishwasher Valve Information.

Frigidaire, along with brands such as Electrolux, Gibson, Tappan, and Sears-Kenmore, offers a Water Inlet Valve designed for use in their dishwashers. This OEM part is crucial for managing the entry of water into the dishwasher's washing chamber and spray arms across various cycles. Positioned near the dishwasher's lower section, this valve is responsible for adjusting water pressure and timing during the cleaning, rinsing, and sanitizing phases of the dishwasher cycle.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning inlet valve include:

- Weak or absent water spray from the lower spray arm during washing cycles
- The dishwasher not filling up with water adequately
- Inadequate rinsing leading to drying problems post-cycle
- Display of error codes and incomplete cycle runs

The typical reasons for these issues may include mineral deposits blocking the valve, wear and tear due to hard water conditions, or damage from impacts during maintenance.

Installing a replacement inlet valve from Frigidaire can help ensure efficient water flow throughout the dishwasher. This part is also suitable for use with appliances from Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore.
