XPARTCO W11168743 Washer Water Valve (Hot Side)
The XPARTCO W11168743 is an aftermarket replacement hot water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built top-load washers. This is a single-solenoid valve dedicated to the hot water supply — it has one hose fitting inlet and one water outlet, and its only job is to open when the control calls for hot water and close again once the correct fill level is reached. This platform pairs the hot valve with a separate two-solenoid cold valve (sold separately as W11168740), so the hot and cold sides are independent components rather than one combined valve body.
Because it's a dedicated single-function valve, a failure here produces a distinctive symptom: hot-only fills stop working or slow down dramatically, while cold fills (governed by the separate cold valve) continue working normally on their own. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup that prevents the valve from sealing fully, a burned-out solenoid coil, or a worn rubber grommet or gasket at the push-on outlet connection. It directly replaces WPW10240948, W10240948, W10921515, 33390068, 4585634, AP6327638, PS12348074, and EAP12348074.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11168743 Washer Water Valve (Hot Side) fixes Whirlpool-built top-load washers where hot water won't fill, fills slowly, overfills, leaks into the drum when off, or fails to stop filling. Single-solenoid hot-only valve, 120V, 60Hz, standard hose fitting inlet with push-on outlet connection. Replaces WPW10240948, W10240948, W10921515, 33390068, 4585634, AP6327638, PS12348074, EAP12348074. This is the hot-side valve only — the companion cold-side valve is sold separately as W11168740.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Compatibility
This hot water inlet valve is compatible with select Whirlpool-built top-load washers across the Whirlpool family of brands, including:
- Whirlpool top-load washers (select models)
- Maytag top-load washers (select Whirlpool-built models)
- KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Amana top-load washers (select models)
- Inglis, Magic Chef, Crosley, Norge, Modern Maid, and Caloric top-load washers (select models)
- Roper, Admiral, Hardwick, and Estate top-load washers (select models)

Note — hot side only, and a different platform than our front-load valves: This is the hot water valve for Whirlpool's top-load platform. The matching cold water valve for these same washers is sold separately under part number W11168740 — the two are not interchangeable. This part is also a different valve family entirely from the front-load W11688994 (hot) / W11688995 (cold) valves elsewhere in our catalog; those fit a different washer platform and will not work here. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which valve fits your washer.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer or shut off its circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Disconnect the hot water supply hose from the back of the valve first — have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out. Remove the rear screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the hot and cold valves sit next to each other and it's easy to cross a wire. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old hot valve, disconnect the push-on outlet hose (check the rubber grommet for wear and replace it if it looks flattened or cracked), remove the mounting screw or bracket, and pull the valve free — leave the cold valve (W11168740) undisturbed if it isn't also being replaced. Install the new W11168743 in the same position, secure the mounting screw, reconnect the electrical connector, and press the outlet hose back onto its fitting with the grommet properly seated. Reattach the hot water supply hose, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check every connection you touched for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm hot water fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, nut driver, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Hot water won't fill but cold water works fine. Is this the right part?
Yes — that's exactly the symptom pattern this valve addresses. Since your washer uses separate hot and cold valves rather than one combined valve, a fault on the hot side only affects hot fills while the cold valve keeps working independently. If hot-specific cycles are the ones failing while cold cycles are unaffected, this hot-side valve is the correct part to replace.
Do I need to replace both the hot and cold valves at the same time?
Not necessarily. Since these are independent single-function valves, you only need to replace the one that's actually failed. If only hot fills are affected, replacing this W11168743 valve alone is sufficient. Some people choose to replace both while the top panel is already off, especially on an older washer, but it isn't required.
Is this the same valve used on your front-load washer listings?
No. This valve is built for Whirlpool's top-load platform. The front-load hot/cold valve pair in our catalog (W11688994 and W11688995) is a completely different part family for a different washer design, and the two are not interchangeable. Always check whether your washer is a top-load or front-load model, and verify your exact model number, before ordering either.
My washer has no hot water at all, but the water heater is working. What should I check first?
Before assuming the valve has failed, confirm the hot water supply valve at the wall behind the washer is fully open, check the inlet screen inside the valve port for sediment or debris that could be restricting flow, and make sure the hot supply hose isn't kinked. If those check out and hot water still isn't reaching the drum, the valve itself is the likely cause.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the single-solenoid design, connection type, and dimensions of the original W11168743 hot water valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Inglis, and related top-load washers.
