W11168743 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Hot Water Inlet Valve
The W11168743 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM hot water inlet valve for Whirlpool top-load washers. This is a single-solenoid valve dedicated specifically to hot water, with a standard hose fitting inlet and one water outlet. When the wash cycle calls for hot water, the valve's solenoid opens to admit it from your home's hot water supply line; once the correct fill level is reached, it closes again.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. Common causes of failure include wear and tear over time, clogging from mineral deposits or sediment in the water supply, and electrical faults that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly. A failing hot water valve typically shows up as the washer not filling properly or not filling at all, slow or irregular water flow even when the inlet screens are clear of obstruction, no hot water reaching the tub, or water dripping inside the tub when the washer isn't running. It directly replaces AP6327638, WPW10240948, W10240948, 4585634, PS12348074, W10921515, and 33390068.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the hot water supply valve before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically from the rear of the washer: remove the screws securing the top or rear panel to reach the valve. Have a towel handy for residual water when you disconnect the supply hose. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the hot water supply hose, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place, then pull it free. Install the new W11168743 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the hot water supply hose, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. While you're in there, it's also worth checking the hoses that run from the valve into the detergent dispenser drawer, since a loose or damaged hose at that connection can produce similar fill or leak symptoms. Restore the water supply and check for leaks before restoring power. Run a test cycle to confirm the washer fills normally with hot water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it's the hot valve or the cold valve that's failed?
Pay attention to which water temperature is affected. If the washer isn't getting hot water but cold-water fills work fine, this hot valve (W11168743) is the likely cause. If the opposite is true, the cold valve (W11168740) is more likely the issue. If both hot and cold fills are affected, or you're not sure, it's worth checking both valves before ordering.
I have water dripping inside the tub when the washer isn't running. Is this the valve?
Yes, likely one of the two inlet valves. A worn internal seal can let water seep through even when the valve should be fully closed, causing exactly this symptom. Since there are two valves (hot and cold) on this platform, you may need to inspect both to determine which one is leaking, or replace both if you're unable to isolate it.
The valve and hoses look fine but water flow is still irregular. What else should I check?
If the inlet screens are clear of obstruction and water flow is still weak or inconsistent, it's worth checking the hoses that run from the valve into the detergent dispenser drawer, since a kink, clog, or loose connection there can produce similar symptoms to a failing valve. Household water pressure and any inline filter screens are also worth ruling out.
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 hose connection configuration of the hot water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.

XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed)
The XPG499 is a universal replacement normally closed (NC) door interlock switch for microwave ovens and microwave/oven combination units. This is a critical safety component: microwave door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing any possibility of microwave radiation escaping the cavity while the door isn't fully closed and latched. This switch's normally closed contact design matches a wide range of microwave door latch mechanisms across GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, Kenmore, and other brands.
Rated 16A, 125/250VAC. Over time, this switch's contacts can wear, pit, or fuse together from repeated cycling and the electrical load carried every time the door opens and closes. A failing interlock switch typically shows up as a microwave that won't start at all, a display that works but the unit won't heat, or intermittent operation tied to the door latch area. This is the normally closed counterpart to our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings — always confirm which specific contact configuration your microwave's failed switch uses before ordering.
Quick Answer
The XPG499 Microwave Door Switch (Normally Closed) fixes microwave ovens and microwave/oven combos that won't start, won't heat, or operate intermittently near the door latch area. 16A, 125/250VAC, normally closed (NC) contact design. Never operate a microwave with a bypassed, disconnected, or suspected-faulty door interlock switch — these switches exist to prevent radiation exposure and must always be replaced with a properly rated part, never removed or defeated.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Microwave won't start at all, even though the display and buttons respond normally
Microwave display and timer work, but the unit won't heat
Microwave stops working intermittently, especially around the door latch
Clicking or buzzing sound from the door area without the microwave starting
Breaker tripping when the door is opened, indicating a switch contact that has fused shut
Door that doesn't feel like it's latching securely

Compatibility
This door switch is a universal replacement compatible with convection microwave ovens, grill microwave ovens, microwave/oven combination units, and solo microwave ovens across many brands including GE, Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, and Kenmore, wherever the original switch matches this normally closed (NC) contact configuration and electrical rating.
Note: Microwave door interlock systems typically use two or three separate switches working together (primary interlock, monitor/secondary switch, and sometimes a third safety switch), and not all of them share this same normally closed (NC) configuration. This is a different part from our EXP497 (normally open) and EXP480 (combined NC/NO) listings. Confirm which specific switch position has failed on your microwave, and match the contact configuration and electrical rating exactly — never substitute a switch with a different configuration. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which switch your microwave needs.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Never Bypass A Door Interlock Switch Unplug the microwave before beginning any work, and if it's a built-in or over-the-range unit, shut off power at the breaker as well. Microwave ovens also contain a high-voltage capacitor that can retain a dangerous electrical charge even after the unit is unplugged — avoid touching internal components near the capacitor and magnetron. Door interlock switches are a critical safety system: they exist specifically to cut power the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping the cavity. Never operate a microwave with an interlock switch disconnected, bypassed, or jumpered, even temporarily — doing so can expose you and others to microwave radiation. If you are not fully comfortable working inside a microwave's internal compartment, have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair instead.
⚠️ Photograph Wiring Before Disconnecting — Match The Failed Switch Exactly Wear work gloves. Remove the outer cabinet or access panel per your model's service instructions to reach the door switch assembly, typically located near the door latch mechanism. Photograph the wiring on the old switch before disconnecting anything, and confirm you're replacing the correct switch position if your microwave uses multiple interlock switches. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old switch, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new XPG499 in the same position, reconnect each wire terminal to its original position, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the cabinet or access panel. Restore power and test that the microwave starts normally with the door closed, and — this is the critical safety check — confirm the unit stops heating immediately when the door is opened during a test run with a cup of water. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My microwave stopped working. How do I know if it's actually a door switch and not something else?
A common pattern is a microwave where the display and buttons respond normally, but pressing start does nothing, or the unit hums without heating — this points toward the door interlock circuit rather than the control board. Since these switches also serve a critical safety function, if you suspect a fault in this area, it's best to have it properly diagnosed and replaced rather than working around the symptom.
Is it safe to just disconnect a faulty interlock switch so the microwave will run?
No — this is not safe under any circumstances. Door interlock switches exist specifically to cut power to the magnetron the instant the door opens, preventing microwave radiation from escaping. Bypassing, disconnecting, or jumpering one of these switches removes that protection and can expose you and anyone nearby to microwave radiation, even if the microwave otherwise appears to run normally. Always replace a faulty switch with a correctly rated new one rather than working around it.
How is this different from your EXP497 and EXP480 listings?
These are different contact configurations for different switch positions in a microwave's door interlock system. This XPG499 is normally closed (NC) only. Our EXP497 listing is normally open (NO) only, and our EXP480 listing combines both NC and NO contacts in a single switch body. Since most microwaves use two or three interlock switches with different configurations, check which contact type your specific failed switch uses before ordering.
My microwave trips the breaker whenever I open the door. What does that mean?
This can indicate that one of the door switches has fused or welded its contacts shut from repeated electrical stress, so it continues carrying current when it shouldn't. This is a genuine safety concern and the affected switch should be replaced promptly rather than continuing to use the microwave.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Power Before Installing Unplug the dryer before beginning, and shut off the gas supply first on gas models. Wear work gloves, as the cabinet edges are sharp. The button is held to the switch behind the control panel, so you will need to remove the back panel, the wires, and the switch to take the old button out through the panel, as shown in your model's service guide. Note where each wire connects before removing it. Fit the new button through the panel onto the switch shaft, then reassemble in reverse order.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer won't start when I press the button. Is this the part I need?
If the button is cracked, loose, or doesn't press the switch, yes. If the button looks fine, the push-to-start switch behind it, the door switch, or a thermal fuse can cause the same symptom, so check those too.
Does this include the switch?
This listing is for the button assembly that fits onto the switch shaft, not the switch. If the switch itself has failed, it is a separate part.
Do I need to take the dryer apart?
Yes. The button is installed through the control panel, so the back panel, wires, and switch have to come off to replace it. Customers report about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Will this fit my dryer?
It is listed for many GE and Hotpoint dryers, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.

XPARTCO W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold)
The XPARTCO W11688995 is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve designed as a direct fit for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The cold water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the cold water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for cold water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting water flow into the tub or detergent dispenser. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely as the correct fill level is reached.
When this valve fails, the washer may not fill with cold water at all, fill very slowly, fail to dispense fabric softener, continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display F8E1 or LO FL error codes. Construction is blue and white plastic with metal solenoid coil, ~3"H x 4"W x 3"L, with 1/2" NPT threaded inlet for standard washer supply hose. It directly replaces W11688995, W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, EAP12711564, PD00086086, PS12711564, 4929298, and AP6835737. Often replaced as a pair with the hot water inlet valve (W11688994, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Note: This is the cold water inlet valve (typically blue). The matching hot water inlet valve is part number W11688994 (typically red). When you replace one valve, it's a good practice to replace the other at the same time since they're the same age, both are accessible during the same repair, and the second valve will likely fail in the near term. Always verify your model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power and shut off both the hot and cold water supplies at the wall before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply hoses and will spill when disconnected. Pull the washer out from the wall to access the back. Remove the three 1/4" screws securing the rear edge of the top cover, push the top cover slightly back, and lift it off. Locate the inlet valves at the back of the washer — the cold valve is typically blue. Disconnect the cold water supply hose from the valve (water will drip — towels). Photograph the wire connections before disconnecting. Unplug the small electrical connector from the valve solenoid. Remove the single 3/16" mounting screw (or similar hardware, model-dependent) holding the valve in place, and disconnect any internal water hoses from the valve outlet (channel-lock pliers may help with hose clamps). Install the new W11688995 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the cold supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal cold water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the hot water valve (W11688994) — they share the same access and lifespan. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, 3/16" nut driver, adjustable wrench or pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes F8E1 and LO FL mean on Whirlpool washers?
Both codes indicate a water fill problem. F8E1 appears when the control board doesn't detect normal water flow during a fill cycle — typically caused by a failed inlet valve, a clogged inlet screen, kinked supply hose, or restricted water supply. LO FL (low flow) appears when the washer detects that water is flowing in, but at a rate too low to complete the fill within the expected time window. When the cold water inlet valve has failed or is partially clogged, both codes can appear together. Before replacing the valve, check that the household cold water supply is on and the supply hose isn't kinked, and inspect the inlet screen on the valve for sediment buildup. If those check out, replacing the W11688995 typically resolves the codes.
My washer isn't dispensing fabric softener — could this be the cold valve?
Yes — this is actually a common symptom that's often misdiagnosed. The cold water inlet valve also feeds the detergent dispenser tray on most Whirlpool front-load washers, including the fabric softener compartment. If the cold valve is clogged or failing to fully open at the right moment in the cycle, water doesn't flow through the fabric softener compartment to flush it into the tub, leaving softener pooled in the tray at the end of the cycle. If you've already cleaned the dispenser tray and water lines and the problem persists, replacing the cold inlet valve (W11688995) often resolves the issue.
Should I replace the hot water valve at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The cold and hot inlet valves are essentially identical components installed side by side at the back of the washer — they're the same age, are exposed to the same wash cycle stress, and have the same expected service life. When one fails, the other is typically not far behind. Since the top cover is already off and both valves are accessible during the same repair, replacing both saves you a second teardown later. The matching hot water valve is part number W11688994 (red, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit.
My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — is this the valve?
Yes, that's a classic sign of a failed inlet valve. When the solenoid wears out or debris keeps the valve from sealing fully closed, water leaks past it at low rates and drips into the tub even with the washer powered off — especially noticeable as a slow puddle forming over a day or two. Since both the hot and cold valves feed into the tub, you'll want to identify which one is leaking: shut off the hot water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the hot valve is at fault; if it continues, this cold valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688995 will resolve a leaking cold valve.
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 dimensions, electrical specifications, 1/2" NPT thread, and solenoid function of the original W11688995 cold water inlet valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and Kenmore front-load washers.
