Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Washer does not fill with water
• Slow or incomplete filling
• Only hot or only cold water enters
• Water continues entering when the washer is off
• Water leaks at or near the inlet valve or hose connections

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm both household water supply valves are fully open.
• Inspect inlet hoses for kinks, reversed connections, or visible damage.
• Inspect the hose screens and valve inlet screens for sediment or debris without damaging the screens.
• Check the valve body and hose connections for visible leakage.
• If electrical testing is performed, use the washer's model-specific service procedure and verify whether the valve receives the proper fill signal; wiring or control faults can produce similar symptoms.
• Do not conclude that the valve is defective until water supply, hose restrictions, screens, wiring, and model-specific diagnostics have been checked.
