Whirlpool W11210459 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve

This Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve is located at the rear of the appliance and allows hot and cold water to fill the washer during the cleaning cycle. If your washer isn't receiving hot or cold water, filling slowly, not filling at all, or leaking hot or cold water onto the floor, replacing this part may alleviate these issues. When replacing this part, consider using Whirlpool's high-quality and easy-to-install water inlet valve. The replacement process will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver and a putty knife, some disassembly of the washer, and novice repair experience. Before installing this part, remember to unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off both the hot and cold water supplies. 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.
