Part W11165546
Purpose
Washer water inlet valve—controls hot and cold water flow into the washer
Details
This OEM water inlet valve routes both hot and cold water into the washer’s tub by using two solenoid-operated ports. When the machine needs to fill, the correct solenoid opens to allow water in. Symptoms of failure may include code errors like “LF” (low fill), no fill, slow fill, or leaking at the valve. Replacing this valve restores proper filling behavior.
