WP22001274 Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve

The Water Inlet Valve is a genuine OEM part designed for Whirlpool appliances, ensuring compatibility and performance. This component is essential for regulating the entry of water into the washing machine. It is suitable for use with various brands under the Whirlpool umbrella, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral.
