WPW10144820 Whirlpool Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve

**Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve**

Whirlpool manufactures a range of household appliances, including those under the brands Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The water inlet valve assembly for these washing machines includes hot and cold inlet valves, a thermistor, a vacuum break, and a wiring harness.

The Water Inlet Valve Assembly is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for Whirlpool washing machines. It regulates the flow of hot and cold water into the washer, ensuring the tub fills to the correct levels during the wash cycle for effective cleaning.

Several factors can cause the water inlet valve assembly to fail. Sediment buildup from hard water can block the valves, solenoids can wear out over time, and electrical issues can prevent the valves from functioning correctly.

Common signs of a faulty water inlet valve assembly include:

- The washing machine does not fill with water or fills very slowly.
- Water continues to drip into the tub even when the washer is off.
- The washer fills with water at the wrong temperature.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

This part addresses the following issues:

- The washer will not stop filling with water.
- There is no hot or cold water.
- The washer will not fill with water.
