XPARTCO WH23X29553 Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO WH23X29553 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for GE front-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer from the household supply line — when the control calls for a fill, the valve's solenoid opens to admit water, and closes again once the correct level is reached. Built with an ABS plastic body and stainless steel components for durability against corrosion.
Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use. A failing valve typically shows up as the washer not filling properly, filling too slowly, or leaking water. It directly replaces AP6983554, PS12743643, EAP12743643, 33090202, and 0024000126GA. As an aftermarket replacement, the WH23X29553 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH23X29553 Washer Water Valve fixes GE front-load washers (and select Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café models) that aren't filling properly, are filling too slowly, or are leaking water near the valve connections. Replaces AP6983554, PS12743643, EAP12743643, 33090202, 0024000126GA. Not the same part as the similarly-numbered WH23X29538 valve — confirm you have the correct number before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Washer not filling with water, or filling only partially
- Washer fills much more slowly than it used to
- Water leaking near the valve connections
- Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
- No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub
- Washer not washing properly due to insufficient or incorrect-temperature water

Note — not the same as WH23X29538: A similarly-numbered valve, WH23X29538, is a separate part (replaces 4977241, AP6990115, PS16217225, EAP16217225, 33090201, 0024000126GB) used on related but distinct models. The two are easy to confuse given how close the numbers are — always confirm you have the exact part number from your appliance or parts diagram before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Release The Control Panel Carefully Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to this valve is typically behind the front control panel on many models. When removing the front control panel, avoid pulling it straight out too far — slotted tabs on the right side of the panel can break if forced. Instead, pull the panel gently forward, then slide it to the right to release it cleanly. With the panel released, locate the valve and disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses, keeping a towel handy for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and the outlet hoses from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new WH23X29553 in the same position, reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses, tightening securely. Reinstall the control panel and any surrounding trim, restore the water supply, and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings to confirm each fill function works correctly. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I remove the front control panel without breaking it?
Avoid pulling the panel straight out with heavy force — the slotted tabs on the right side of the panel can snap if you pull too far. Instead, pull the panel gently forward first, then slide it to the right to release it from its mounting. This gentler approach avoids the most common way this panel gets damaged during a valve repair.
I've heard this valve sometimes needs replacing again after just a couple of years. Is that normal?
Some owners have reported needing to replace this valve again within a relatively short time, even after a successful repair. While most installations hold up well long-term, if you experience a repeat failure, it's worth double-checking your household water pressure and mineral content, since hard water and high pressure can accelerate wear on any water valve regardless of brand.
Is this the same as WH23X29538? The numbers look almost identical.
No, these are two separate GE valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close match, since ordering the wrong one means it won't fit correctly.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the original WH23X29553 valve used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café front-load washers.
