W11168740 Whirlpool Dual Cold Water Inlet Valve

The Cold Water Inlet Valve, featuring two solenoids and presented in blue, is available for individual purchase. This component is essential for addressing issues such as leaks or continuous water filling in the washing machine. It is compatible with various brands including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and is also used in appliances sold under the Sears-Kenmore and Ikea brand names.

Designed specifically for Whirlpool washers, this OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part facilitates the entry of cold water into the wash tub during designated cycles. Common indicators of a malfunctioning cold water inlet valve are the inability to set the machine to cold wash cycles, absence of cold water in the tub, leakage near the valve, and excessive water consumption due to the valve's failure to close completely.

The deterioration of this valve is often due to mineral deposits blocking water flow or the breakdown of internal components such as seals or diaphragms. Replacing the valve can resolve these issues, ensuring consistent water levels and efficient machine operation.

This replacement valve from Whirlpool ensures a secure fit and dependable water regulation, reinstating proper cold water usage in compatible models including those from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.
