Whirlpool W11175771 Genuine OEM Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

The Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve allows the appliance to fill with water and complete the cleaning cycle. If your dishwasher won't fill properly or overflows and leaks water on the floor, then the water valve may be restricted or damaged, and replacing it may alleviate these issues. Note that if the dishwasher is underfilled, it will likely exhibit poor wash performance. In order to access the part, you'll need to remove the lower access panel from the dishwasher. Keep in mind that you'll need to reuse the brass fitting from the existing part with the new valve; use pipe joint compound to securely attach it to the new part. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver and channel lock pliers, some disassembly of the dishwasher, and novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, be sure to turn off your dishwasher's water supply before you begin the installation. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner* (item W10282479) to help reduce limescale and mineral build-up that can be unsightly and affect your dishwasher’s performance. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
