W10844024 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The W10844024 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Estate, Roper, Inglis, Maytag, Crosley, Ikea, Magic Chef, Kirkland, and Amana dishwashers. This valve regulates the flow of water into the appliance during each fill stage of the wash cycle, opening and closing to admit the correct amount of water at the right times.
Weighing approximately 0.2 lbs, common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve and general electrical wear in the solenoid. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher not filling with water at all, or a valve that's unusually noisy — starting and stopping repeatedly — during heavy wash cycles as it struggles to regulate flow correctly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Check Your Hose Connector Size First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the water lines connected to the old valve before beginning. Wear work gloves. Have a shop vacuum on hand — some customers have needed to remove standing water from the bottom of the dishwasher before starting this repair. Locate the old valve and use pliers to unscrew any screws or bolts connecting it to the appliance. Clean the area where the old valve was located, removing any debris before installing the new one. Check the diameter of your existing water line connector before starting — some households have a smaller-diameter connector than this new valve's fitting requires, in which case you'll need a separate hose adapter from a hardware store to complete the connection. Take the new W10844024 and place it in the same position as the old valve, making sure it's connected correctly, and secure any screws or bolts. Reattach the water lines to the new valve and reconnect power. Double-check all connections before restoring power, then run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher fills correctly with no leaks. Tools needed: pliers, possibly a hose adapter, shop vacuum (if needed), work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher isn't filling with water at all. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the dishwasher, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Will I need any extra parts for this installation?
Possibly. A few customers have found their existing water line connector had a smaller diameter than this valve's fitting, requiring a separate hose adapter purchased locally from a hardware store to complete the connection. It's worth checking your connector size beforehand, or having a quick trip to the hardware store planned just in case.
My dishwasher makes a noisy, start-and-stop sound when filling. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented symptom. One customer described their valve as "very noisy on heavy wash cycles, started and stopped when filling" before replacing it with this exact part, which resolved the issue.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your dishwasher.
