Part WH13X26534 Water Inlet Valve with Gasket

Purpose

Controls and seals washer water inlet

Details

The WH13X26534 water inlet valve is a genuine OEM component designed for select GE and Hotpoint top-load washing machines. This valve regulates the flow of household water into the washer during the fill cycle and includes the gasket that seals the valve to the washer cabinet to prevent leaks. When energized by the control system, the valve opens to allow water into the tub and closes once the proper level is reached. A failing valve may cause slow filling, no water entering the washer, continuous filling, or leaks at the inlet connection. Replacing a worn or malfunctioning valve helps restore proper fill performance and ensures a secure, leak-resistant seal where the valve mounts to the washer. In many model diagrams, this component appears as item #805.
