Whirlpool WPW10212598 Genuine OEM Front Load Washer Water Inlet Valve

This Front Load Washer Water Inlet Valve lets the hot water into your washing machine and distributes it around to the dispensers. If the valve is leaking during use, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. A long or slow fill cycle is often due to a restricted water valve. Note that the valve should never be disassembled and cleaned; it should only be replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver and pliers, as well as some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) 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.
