Genuine Whirlpool OEM dishwasher water inlet valve/fill valve assembly that controls water flow into the dishwasher during filling.

Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Dishwasher does not fill or fills very slowly
• Insufficient water circulation resulting in poor cleaning
• Water leakage at the inlet-valve or connected water-line area
• Intermittent filling or cycle interruptions associated with restricted or defective water flow

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the dishwasher’s water-supply shutoff valve is fully open.
• Inspect the accessible water-supply line for kinks, pinching, or visible leakage.
• Observe whether water enters the tub during the fill portion of a cycle, without placing hands inside a powered appliance.
• Check for visible debris or restriction at the accessible inlet connection after shutting off water and disconnecting power; do not disassemble or attempt to clean the valve.
• Verify that any suspected leak is localized to the valve or its connection rather than the supply line, fitting, or tub.
