Genuine OEM W11165546 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The Genuine OEM Whirlpool W11165546 is the water inlet valve for select Whirlpool, Maytag and Kenmore washers. It controls the flow of water into the washer so the right amount of water enters at the right time. When the valve fails, the washer may leak, fill slowly or incorrectly, throw a low-fill error code, or fail to deliver hot or cold water.
This is the original Whirlpool part, not an aftermarket equivalent. It is sold individually. Check your model number before ordering, because Whirlpool uses several similar water valves on different washers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug The Washer And Shut Off The Water Unplug the washer and shut off the water supply before you start. You will need a screwdriver, pliers and an adjustable wrench. Water can remain in the hoses and valve, so have towels ready. Take a photo of the hose and wiring connections before disconnecting anything, then transfer them to the new valve in the same positions. Turn the water back on slowly and check for leaks before using the washer.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows a low-fill error or won't fill. Is the valve the fix?
Possibly. A failed water inlet valve can cause it, but a clogged inlet screen, a closed supply faucet or a control problem can too, so check those first.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Whirlpool, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Is W11096267 the same valve?
Yes. W11096267 is listed as an earlier number that this valve replaces, along with W10599423, W10758828 and W10839828. Check your model number to be sure.
Will this fit my washer?
It is listed for many Whirlpool, Maytag and Kenmore washers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
