Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Washer will not fill with water
• Slow or partial filling
• No hot-water or no cold-water fill
• Washer overfills
• Water continues entering while the washer is off
• Leak near the inlet-valve or hose connection

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the household hot- and cold-water supply valves are fully open.
• Check the inlet hoses for kinks, crushing, damage, or incorrect hot/cold routing.
• Inspect the valve’s inlet screens for visible sediment or blockage, without damaging or removing them unless the model’s service instructions permit it.
• Check for water entering the washer when it is powered off; shut off the household water supply if this occurs.
• Before condemning the valve, consider related causes such as low household water pressure, the pressure-sensing circuit, wiring/connectors, or the control system.
