The WG01F08563 is a genuine OEM GE dishwasher water inlet valve — the electrically-operated solenoid valve that controls water flow into the dishwasher tub at the start of each wash and rinse cycle. When the control board signals the valve to open, water enters the tub; when the cycle is complete, the valve closes to stop flow. A failed inlet valve is one of the most common causes of a dishwasher that won’t fill, fills too slowly, or won’t start a wash cycle. This is the exact OEM part your dishwasher was built with, ensuring correct water pressure, flow rate, and a perfect fit.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

• Dishwasher not filling with water at the start of a cycle

• Dishwasher won’t start a wash cycle (no water detected)
• Humming sound but no water entering the tub (valve solenoid energized but stuck closed)
• Dishwasher leaking water when off (valve stuck open)
• Poor cleaning results due to insufficient water volume

✓ Installation Tips

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: Always unplug the dishwasher and shut off the water supply before servicing.

1. Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply valve under the sink.
2. Pull the dishwasher forward slightly to access the inlet valve, typically located at the bottom front behind the kick plate or at the rear.
3. Place a towel and small bucket under the valve to catch residual water.
4. Disconnect the water supply line from the inlet valve fitting.
5. Disconnect the electrical connector(s) from the valve solenoid(s).
6. Remove the mounting screws securing the valve to the dishwasher frame.
7. Install the new WG01F08563 valve in the same position and secure with screws.
8. Reconnect the electrical connectors and water supply line — hand-tighten first, then snug with a wrench.
9. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks before pushing the dishwasher back.
10. Plug in the dishwasher and run a short cycle to verify proper fill.

Tech Notes: Before replacing the valve, test it with a multimeter — each solenoid coil should show resistance (typically 200–1000Ω); infinite resistance = failed solenoid. Also check the water supply pressure (minimum 20 PSI required) and the door latch/float switch, as these can prevent the valve from opening even if the valve itself is good.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: My GE dishwasher won’t fill with water — is this the right part?
A: Yes — a failed water inlet valve is the most common cause of a dishwasher that won’t fill. Test the valve solenoid for continuity first to confirm failure before ordering.

Q: What does WG01F08563 replace?
A: WG01F08563 directly replaces WG04F13214, WG03F00838, and 0120400055F. All are functionally equivalent.

Q: Can I install this myself?
A: Yes — this is a straightforward repair. Shut off the water supply, disconnect the old valve, and install the new one. Always check for leaks before running a cycle.

Q: Do you ship to Canada?
A: Yes — XPart Supply is based in Canada and ships fast across Canada and the US.
