Genuine OEM WH23X35712 Washer Water Valve
The Genuine OEM GE WH23X35712 is an electromagnetic (solenoid) water valve for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore washers. The valve connects your home's water supply to the washer. It opens when the control energizes it to let water into the washer and shuts off to prevent overfilling. When it fails, the washer may not fill, may fill intermittently, or may fill slowly or weakly.
This is the original GE part. GE washers use several different water valves that look alike, so confirm the part number against your model before ordering.
Quick Answer
The Genuine OEM WH23X35712 Water Valve fixes a GE, Hotpoint, or Kenmore washer that won't fill, fills intermittently, or fills slowly. It is a sealed on/off solenoid valve. Classic symptom: the cycle starts but little or no water comes in, and the supply taps and hoses are clear.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Washer won't fill with water
- Intermittent filling during the cycle
- Slow or weak fill

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power and Shut Off the Water Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves, and have a towel and shallow pan ready for water left in the hoses. Follow your model's service guide to reach the valve, note the position of each wire connector and hose, and disconnect them. Handle the new valve by its body and avoid stressing the electrical connectors or the inlet and outlet fittings. Inspect the hoses and fittings, replace any worn seals, then reconnect everything and check for leaks with the water on.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't fill. Is this the part I need?
A failed water valve is a common cause. First check that the water supply taps are fully open and that the inlet screens at the hose connections aren't clogged. If both are fine and the washer still fills slowly or not at all, the valve is a likely cause.
What does this valve do?
It is an on/off solenoid valve. It opens when energized to let water in and closes to stop the flow and prevent overfilling.
Can I use a different GE washer valve?
Not unless your model's parts diagram calls it out. GE makes several valves that look alike but differ in coil count and connections. Use the number your model calls out, or contact our support team to confirm.
Will this fit my washer?
It is listed for GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore washers, but we could not confirm a model list. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
