W11175771 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve
The W11175771 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Amana, Crosley, Magic Chef, and Inglis dishwashers, located behind the lower kick plate panel in either the right or left corner. This valve controls the flow of water into the appliance during the wash cycle — an electrical solenoid plunger opens and closes the valve to admit exactly the right amount of water at the appropriate stages of the dishwasher's cycle.
Measuring approximately 3.37" in height, this is a superseding part, replacing the earlier W10872255 and W11130744 valve numbers so older models can be updated with the current version. Over time, a screen inside the valve can become clogged with sediment — this screen isn't designed to be cleaned or serviced, so a clog means the whole valve needs to be replaced. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher not filling with enough water or not filling at all, leaking into the dishwasher while not in use, or overfilling with too much water. It directly replaces AP6339872, W10195047, W10327250, W10872255, W11130744, W10327249, W10316814, and W11130743.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the bottom front kick plate to access the interior, where the valve is located behind the panel in either the right or left corner depending on your model. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water line, the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws securing the old valve, then pull it free. Install the new W11175771 in the same position, securely reconnect the water line and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. While you're in this area, it's worth inspecting the water supply adapter for wear, since it's a related part in the same location that's easy to check while everything is already accessible. Reinstall the kick plate, restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher fills correctly with no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, 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.
Can I just clean the valve's screen instead of replacing the whole thing?
No — the screen inside this valve isn't designed to be cleaned or serviced. If it becomes clogged with sediment from your household water supply, the entire valve should be replaced rather than attempting to clean or repair the screen itself.
My dishwasher makes a high-pitched whining sound while filling. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing water inlet valve. One customer specifically traced an "obnoxious high-pitched whining sound when filling with water" to this exact valve and resolved it with a straightforward replacement in about 15 minutes.
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.
