W11314437 Whirlpool Valve in Question

The valve in question is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part designed for Whirlpool dryers. It plays a crucial role in managing the water flow to the dryer's steam generator, which is essential for the steam cycle during drying.

Whirlpool's product range includes several well-known brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures compatible products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

A malfunctioning water inlet valve may result from normal wear and tear, accumulation of sediment, or failures in its internal components. Common indicators that the valve may need replacement include a lack of steam production, reduced steam output, or water leaks near the valve area.

Replacing a defective or worn-out valve with a genuine OEM part can help maintain the efficiency of your Whirlpool dryer. This part is also compatible with various other brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
