Whirlpool WPW10683603 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve

This Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve allows hot water to fill the washer during the cleaning cycle. If your washer isn’t receiving hot water, filling slowly, not filling at all, or if it is leaking hot water onto the floor, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. This high-quality and easy-to-install replacement part attaches the water lines to the back of your appliance. The attaching solenoids on the valve open and close according to the desired temperature or the amount of water needed. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, some disassembly of the washer, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the washing machine or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Recommended Item: Consider replacing the Fill Hose (item 8212487RP) at the same time as this repair. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10501250) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
