Washer Won't Fill with Water, Fills Slowly, or Leaks at the Back? It's the Water Inlet Valve.

Part# WP3979346 X-Ref: 3979346 · 3979347 · 8578342 · AP6009052 Whirlpool · Maytag · Kenmore · KitchenAid · Inglis

The water inlet valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the wash tub. When its solenoids fail or mineral deposits block the ports, the washer stops filling entirely, fills at a trickle, or leaks at the hose connections. The WP3979346 Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve is the factory-specified dual-solenoid replacement — available in genuine OEM or premium XPart — that restores full, temperature-correct water flow on the first cycle.

✓ Symptoms This Fixes

  • Washer won't fill with water at all
  • Washer fills very slowly or takes too long to reach the selected level
  • Only hot or only cold water enters the tub (one solenoid failed)
  • Water leaks from the back of the washer at the hose connections
  • Washer overfills or won't stop filling
  • Incorrect water temperature during the wash cycle
  • Solenoid clicking but no water flow
  • Washer displays a fill error code

Pro Tip — Check the Supply Line Screens Before Condemning the Valve:
Mineral-clogged inlet screens on the water supply hoses produce identical symptoms to a failed valve — slow fill or no fill — at a fraction of the cost. Before replacing the valve, shut off the water, disconnect both supply hoses, and inspect the small mesh screens inside the hose fittings. If they're packed with sediment, clean or replace the screens first. If flow is still poor after clean screens, the valve solenoid has failed and replacement is warranted.

✓ Buying Options

  • OEM / New — Genuine Whirlpool-manufactured valve, identical to the factory original. Best choice for an exact factory replacement.
  • XPart / New — Premium aftermarket valve engineered to meet or exceed OEM specifications. Same fit and function at a better price. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Whirlpool.
  • OEM / Used — Genuine Whirlpool part pulled from a working appliance. Inspected and tested. Ideal for older machines.
  • XPart / Used — Used aftermarket valve. Inspected and tested. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Whirlpool.

✓ Installation Notes

  • Skill Level: Intermediate — involves water line disconnection and electrical connectors
  • Estimated Time: 45–60 minutes
  • Key Steps: Shut off water supply and disconnect power → Pull washer from wall → Remove back panel to access valve → Photograph hose connections and wiring harness before disconnecting → Disconnect hot and cold supply hoses (have towels ready for residual water) → Unplug electrical connectors → Remove mounting screw and pull old valve → Seat new valve, reconnect hoses hand-tight then snug with wrench → Reconnect harness → Restore water and power → Run a fill cycle and check for leaks
  • Safety: Always shut off water supply AND disconnect power before beginning. Hand-tighten hose fittings first — over-tightening can crack the valve body. Verify no leaks at connections before running a full load.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if it's the valve and not the supply hose screens?

Shut off the water, disconnect both supply hoses, and inspect the small mesh screens inside the hose fittings at the valve. If they're packed with sediment, clean them first — this is a free fix. If the screens are clear and flow is still poor or absent, the valve solenoid has failed and the valve needs replacement.

Why does only hot or only cold water fill the tub?

The WP3979346 has two independent solenoid coils — one for hot water and one for cold. If only one temperature fills, the solenoid for the other temperature has failed. A failed solenoid cannot be repaired; the entire valve must be replaced.

What's the difference between OEM and XPart?

The OEM option is the genuine Whirlpool-manufactured valve — identical to the factory original. The XPart option is a premium aftermarket valve engineered to the same dimensional and electrical specifications. Both are direct-fit replacements. XPart is not affiliated with or endorsed by Whirlpool.

Is WP3979346 the same as 3979346 or 8578342?

Yes — 3979346, 3979347, and 8578342 are all superseded or cross-reference part numbers for the same valve. WP3979346 is the current active OEM part number and is a direct replacement for all of these.

Does XPart Supply ship washer parts across Canada?

Yes! XPart Supply ships OEM and aftermarket washer parts Canada-wide with fast, reliable shipping. We've been serving Canadian appliance repair customers since 1996 and offer guaranteed fit on all parts. Contact us if you need help confirming compatibility with your model.
