WH13X10017 General Electric Water Inlet Valve Assembly

The Water Inlet Valve Assembly for Washing Machines plays a crucial role in regulating the water level within the appliance and preventing leaks. This part, compatible with GE products such as Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore, is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement. It is situated at the back of the washing machine and connects directly to the home's water supply.

The assembly is composed of two solenoid valves which function independently to control the intake of both hot and cold water during different washing cycles. Effective management of water flow by the inlet valve assembly is essential for optimal washing performance and helps to avoid issues like leaks and overflows.

This component is also compatible with appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.

Common issues that this part addresses include:
- Insufficient water flow into the washing machine
- Water leakage or dripping from the machine's rear
- The washing machine failing to fill with water
- Buzzing or humming sounds emanating from the valve assembly
