W11165546 Whirlpool Washing Machine Water Valve

Washing Machine Water Valve

Whirlpool offers a range of brands, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, and Roper. They also manufacture products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The water valve is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part for Whirlpool washing machines. It manages the flow of water into the washer during the fill cycle, ensuring the correct amount of water enters based on the selected settings. This valve is essential for regulating water levels and maintaining the washing machine's efficiency and performance.

If the valve becomes faulty, it should be replaced. Common causes of a malfunctioning valve include normal wear and tear, mineral buildup from hard water, or damage due to electrical issues. These problems can prevent the valve from opening or closing correctly, impacting the machine's ability to fill with water.

Signs of a faulty valve include:

- The washing machine not filling with water or filling slowly
- The washer overfilling or leaking water
- Inconsistent water levels during wash cycles
- Unusual noises during the fill cycle

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