Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Appliance Safety Warning This part is used in gas ranges. Working with gas appliances carries risk of gas leaks, fire, and explosion if installed incorrectly. Always shut off the gas supply at the shutoff valve and unplug the range before beginning any repair. If you smell gas at any point during or after installation, leave the area immediately and contact your gas utility provider. If you are not confident working on gas appliances, have this part installed by a qualified appliance technician.
⚠️ Installation Instructions Unplug the range and shut off the gas supply before beginning. Open the oven door and remove the oven racks. Lift and remove the oven bottom panel by unscrewing the retaining screws. Remove the heat shield (if present) to expose the burner and igniter assembly. Unscrew the igniter mounting screws — typically one or two — and carefully disconnect the wire connector. Connect the new W11176454 igniter to the wire harness using the two separate connectors, secure it to the burner bracket with the mounting screws, then reinstall the heat shield and oven bottom panel. Restore gas supply and power and run a test cycle to confirm the oven lights correctly. Important: Do not touch the silicon carbide igniter element with bare hands — oils from skin reduce its lifespan. Handle only by the bracket and leads. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between W11176454 and W10914411?
The W11176454 is the updated part number that directly supersedes the older W10914411. Both are the same hot surface igniter for compatible Whirlpool, Amana, and Maytag gas ranges. This aftermarket replacement is compatible with both part numbers.
How do I know if my oven igniter needs to be replaced?
The most common signs are the oven not heating at all, taking much longer than usual to preheat, or the igniter glowing orange but never lighting the burner. A working igniter reaches ignition temperature within about 30–90 seconds and glows bright orange. If it glows dimly or stays on indefinitely without the burner lighting, the igniter has weakened and is no longer drawing enough current to open the gas safety valve.
Why does my igniter glow but the oven still won't heat?
This is the classic symptom of a weak igniter. The gas safety valve requires a minimum amperage draw — typically around 3.2 amps — to open and allow gas to flow to the burner. As the igniter ages, its resistance increases and amperage drops below this threshold. The igniter still glows because it has some current, but not enough to open the valve. Replacing the igniter resolves this in nearly all cases.
Is the W11176454 compatible with my Amana or Maytag range?
Yes — the W11176454 is compatible with select Amana AGR and AGG series gas ranges and select Maytag AGR series models in addition to Whirlpool WFG320 and WFG505 series ranges. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
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 made from silicon carbide to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original W11176454 igniter.

XPARTCO W11688995 (OE) Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold)
The XPARTCO W11688995 (OE — Original Equipment specification) is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve built to OEM specifications, 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.

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.
What does "OE" mean and how is this different from an OEM Whirlpool part?
"OE" stands for Original Equipment — meaning this is an aftermarket replacement part manufactured to original equipment specifications. It is engineered as a direct-fit substitute matching the dimensions, electrical specifications, and function of the original Whirlpool W11688995. It is not a genuine Whirlpool-branded OEM part, but is built to the same quality standards and performs identically when installed in compatible washers.

XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse Replaces WP8573713
The XPARTCO 8573713 is an aftermarket replacement thermal cut-off fuse for Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers. This fuse is mounted on top of the burner funnel, directly under the drum, and it's a one-time safety device: as long as the dryer stays within its normal operating temperature, it does nothing at all, but the instant temperatures near the burner climb high enough — almost always from restricted airflow — the fuse permanently opens the circuit and cuts power. That's why a blown fuse produces such a specific symptom: the dryer won't heat, even though the drum may still tumble and the rest of the dryer seems to run normally.
Because this fuse sits on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the more accessible blower housing, replacing it is a more involved repair than a typical thermal fuse swap — the drum has to come out of the cabinet to reach it. Unlike a resettable thermostat, this fuse cannot be reset once it blows; it must be replaced. A blown thermal fuse is almost always a symptom rather than a random failure: restricted exhaust venting is the leading cause, since trapped heat near the burner is exactly what this fuse is designed to react to. It directly replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, and PS11746693.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 8573713 Gas Dryer Thermal Cut-Off Fuse fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers that won't heat, even if the drum still tumbles normally. Mounted on the burner funnel under the drum. Replaces WP8573713, AP6013467, PS11746693. Always inspect and clean the dryer venting when replacing this fuse — a blown fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and installing a new fuse without fixing the vent will likely blow it again.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer runs and tumbles but produces no heat
Dryer that stopped heating suddenly, especially after running unusually hot
Drying times that have gotten noticeably longer or clothes coming out damp
Repeated blown fuses on a dryer with a known venting or airflow restriction
Dryer that recently smelled like burning or overheating before losing heat
Continuity test shows an open circuit across the old fuse

Installation Notes
⚠️ Gas Safety — Shut Off The Gas Supply Before Starting This fuse sits directly on the burner funnel, close to the gas burner assembly. Before beginning, close the gas shutoff valve behind the dryer in addition to unplugging the dryer or shutting off its circuit breaker. If at any point you smell gas, stop immediately, leave the area, and do not operate any switches — contact your gas utility or a qualified technician. Do not attempt this repair if you are not comfortable working safely around a gas appliance's burner assembly; a qualified technician can complete it instead.
⚠️ Drum Removal Required — Inspect And Clean The Venting Before Reassembling Wear work gloves. This repair requires removing the drum from the dryer cabinet to access the burner funnel, so budget more time and disassembly than a typical thermal fuse swap. Remove the top and front panels according to your model's service diagram, disconnect the drive belt from the idler pulley, and lift the drum out of the cabinet to expose the burner funnel underneath. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting the old fuse's connectors. Test the old fuse for continuity with a multimeter to confirm it's actually blown (no continuity) rather than assuming, and test the new fuse to confirm it's good out of the box. This is the most important step: fully inspect and clean the dryer's exhaust vent, from the lint trap housing all the way to the exterior vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed sections, or excessive length. A blown thermal fuse is a symptom of restricted airflow, and skipping this step means the new fuse is likely to blow again. Install the new 8573713 fuse on the burner funnel in the same mounting position, reconnect the wiring, and reassemble the drum, belt, and panels in reverse order. Restore the gas supply and power, and run a test cycle to confirm normal heating and shutoff behavior. Tools needed: Phillips or nut driver (model-dependent), multimeter, vent brush or vacuum attachment for cleaning ductwork, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dryer tumbles fine but there's no heat. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the classic symptom of a blown gas dryer thermal cut-off fuse. Because this fuse only interrupts the heating circuit and not the drive motor, the drum can continue tumbling completely normally while the dryer produces no heat at all. If you've confirmed the burner isn't igniting and the fuse tests as an open circuit, this is very likely the fix.
Why does this repair require removing the drum? My other dryer's fuse didn't need that.
This particular fuse is mounted on the burner funnel underneath the drum rather than on the blower housing at the back of the cabinet, which is where many thermal fuses on other platforms are located. Reaching the burner funnel requires taking the drum out of the cabinet, which is why this repair involves more disassembly than some other thermal fuse replacements.
I replaced the fuse and it blew again. What's going on?
This is a strong sign that the underlying cause — almost always restricted airflow — was never addressed. Thermal fuses don't fail from age; they blow because the dryer overheated. If a new fuse keeps blowing, thoroughly inspect and clean the entire exhaust path from the lint trap housing to the outside vent hood, checking for lint buildup, crushed or kinked ductwork, or a vent run that's too long.
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 electrical specifications and mounting configuration of the original WP8573713 thermal cut-off fuse used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Crosley, Amana, and Inglis gas dryers.

W11645245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Valve
The W11645245 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM dual water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built refrigerators. Mounted at the rear of the refrigerator where the household water line connects, this single valve is the central control point for water flow to two separate features: the ice maker and the door-mounted water dispenser. When either feature calls for water, this valve's solenoids open to admit it and close again once the request is satisfied — since one valve handles both jobs, a failure here can affect the ice maker, the dispenser, or both at the same time.
Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from the household water supply interfering with the valve's internal operation over time, and electrical faults either in the valve itself or in the refrigerator's electronic control board that signals it. A failing dual water valve produces a recognizable set of symptoms: the door dispenser stops delivering water, the ice maker slows down, stops producing ice, or fails intermittently, water leaking around the valve area, or an audible electronic buzzing or humming sound coming from the back of the refrigerator. It directly replaces AP7208917, W11546685, W11446818, W11563296, and PS16875686. As a genuine OEM part, the W11645245 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The W11645245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Valve fixes Whirlpool-built refrigerators where the door water dispenser stops working, the ice maker slows down or stops making ice, there's a leak near the valve at the back of the refrigerator, or you hear an electronic buzzing or humming sound. Controls water flow to both the ice maker and water dispenser from a single valve. Replaces AP7208917, W11546685, W11446818, W11563296, PS16875686. Before replacing, rule out a simple mineral clog and a faulty control board signal — both can produce identical symptoms to a failed valve.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Disconnect power at the outlet, and shut off the water supply valve behind or below the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear or bottom of the cabinet where the water supply line connects. Have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out when you disconnect the line. Photograph the wiring and water line connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding it in place, then pull the valve free. Install the new W11645245 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. Restore the water supply and check the connection for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place, then test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the next day to confirm normal operation has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dispenser stopped working but the ice maker still works. Is this the right part?
It's possible, but worth checking a couple of things first, since this valve serves both features from one unit. Confirm the water supply line isn't kinked or restricted, and check the inline water filter for a clog, since a blocked filter can starve the dispenser specifically while the ice maker (which may draw from a different point in the flow path depending on your model) keeps working. If the filter and supply line are clear and the dispenser still won't deliver water, the valve itself is the likely cause.
I hear a buzzing or humming sound from the back of the fridge. What does that mean?
This is a common symptom of a valve that's receiving an electrical signal to open but isn't passing water through correctly — the solenoid coil energizes and hums, but water flow is restricted or absent, often due to internal mineral buildup or a failing internal mechanism. If you hear this sound whenever the ice maker or dispenser is called on, the valve is a strong suspect.
Could the problem actually be my water filter instead of this valve?
Yes, it's worth ruling out first. A clogged inline water filter can produce very similar symptoms to a failing valve — reduced dispenser flow, slow ice production, or both. Try replacing the water filter first if it's been a while since the last change; if symptoms persist afterward, the dual water valve is the more likely cause.
Could this be a control board issue instead of the valve?
It's possible. This valve is triggered electrically by the refrigerator's control board, so a fault there can produce symptoms that look identical to a failed valve — no water reaching the ice maker or dispenser even though the valve itself is fine. If replacing the valve doesn't resolve the issue, the control board is the next component worth investigating.
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 includes the same dual-function solenoid design and connection configuration as the valve originally installed in your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Pull the washer away from the wall to access the back panel and remove it to expose the valve assembly. Photograph all wire harness connections and hose routing — the multi-color ports make this straightforward. Disconnect the two external supply hoses from the hot and cold inlet ports. Disconnect the internal outlet hoses by releasing the retaining clips. Disconnect the wire harness connectors from each solenoid terminal. Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the old valve. Install the new WH13X26637 valve in the same position, reconnect all hoses and wire harnesses in the documented positions, and secure the mounting bolts. Reconnect the external supply hoses, restore water supply and power, and run a fill cycle to verify normal filling and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, socket wrench, needle-nose pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between WH13X26637 and WH13X24058?
These are the same quad water inlet valve assembly — WH13X26637 is the current updated part number that GE issued to supersede the earlier WH13X24058. If your washer's documentation, parts diagram, or old valve label shows WH13X24058, the WH13X26637 is the correct current replacement to order. Both are quad (4-solenoid) valve assemblies with the same port configuration and function.
What does each solenoid port on this quad valve control?
The WH13X26637 quad valve has four independently operated solenoid ports. The hot water port opens to supply hot water from the household supply line. The cold water port supplies cold water. The bleach dispenser port delivers cold water through the bleach compartment at the appropriate point in the wash cycle. The fabric softener port delivers water through the softener compartment during the rinse cycle. When any single solenoid fails, only the function it controls is affected — the rest of the valve continues to work normally.
My washer won't fill and shows an error code — is it the water inlet valve?
A fill error code on compatible GE models commonly points to the water inlet valve. Before replacing the valve, confirm that both supply valves behind the washer are fully open, neither supply hose is kinked, and the household water pressure is adequate. You can test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — a working coil shows resistance (typically 200–500 ohms); an open circuit confirms that coil has failed and the valve needs replacement. If all coils test good but the washer still won't fill, the issue may be with the control board or water pressure.
My washer fills fine but won't dispense fabric softener — could it be the valve?
Yes — if only the fabric softener dispenser function is affected, the solenoid coil controlling that specific port has likely failed. Since it is part of the same quad valve assembly, replacing the entire WH13X26637 assembly resolves the failed port. Individual solenoid ports cannot be replaced — the complete quad valve assembly must be replaced when any port fails.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same quad water inlet valve assembly installed in compatible GE and GE Profile top-load washers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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.

WD15X26078 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve
The WD15X26078 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement dishwasher water inlet valve compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers. The water inlet valve is mounted at the base of the dishwasher behind the lower access panel, connecting the household water supply line to the dishwasher's fill circuit. When the control board calls for water during the fill phase, the valve's internal solenoid opens, allowing water to flow into the tub — and it closes the instant the call is dropped, stopping flow precisely at the correct fill level. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, the dishwasher can't fill correctly — leading to poor cleaning performance, error codes, or no wash at all.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. Approximate dimensions: 3.75" H x 3.25" W x 3.00" L. Silver/multi-color metal and plastic construction with a deep-threaded, high-quality water inlet for a tight supply-line connection and a secure outlet design that keeps the internal fill hose firmly attached. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications, the WD15X26078 directly replaces 4959029, AP6986683, PS16217027, EAP16217027, and PD00064270. Hard water sediment is a leading cause of inlet valve clogging and failure on GE dishwashers — if your old valve is restricted by mineral buildup, replacement (not cleaning) is the recommended fix, as the internal components are easily damaged during cleaning attempts. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher and Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the breaker and shut off the household water supply at the shutoff valve under the sink before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels and a shallow dish ready — residual water remains in the supply line and hoses and will spill when disconnected. Remove the lower access panel (baffle) at the front bottom of the dishwasher — typically 2–4 screws. Locate the water inlet valve where the household supply line enters the dishwasher. Photograph the hose and wire connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the household water supply line from the valve inlet (use pliers for the larger ingress connection — place the dish underneath to catch leftover water). Disconnect the internal fill hose from the valve outlet (needle-nose pliers help with the smaller egress hose clamp). Unplug the electrical connector that snaps onto the valve solenoid. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve bracket to the frame and lift the old valve out. Install the new WD15X26078 valve in the same position, secure the mounting screws, reconnect the internal fill hose with its clamp, and snap the electrical connector back on. Reconnect the household water supply line to the valve inlet — align the threads carefully and tighten snugly without over-torquing. Turn the water supply back on and use a flashlight to inspect all connections for leaks BEFORE reinstalling the access panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm proper filling with no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, needle-nose pliers, shallow dish, towels, flashlight, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the H2O error code mean on my GE dishwasher?
The H2O error code on GE dishwashers indicates the control board is not detecting sufficient water intake during the fill phase. Common causes are: a failed or clogged water inlet valve (the most frequent culprit), the household water supply shutoff valve partially closed, a kinked supply line, or low household water pressure. First verify the supply valve under the sink is fully open and the line isn't kinked. If the supply checks out, the WD15X26078 inlet valve is the standard fix — hard water sediment gradually clogs the valve's internal screen and passages, restricting flow until the dishwasher can't fill within its expected time window.
Can I clean the old valve instead of replacing it?
It's not recommended. While the inlet screen on some valves can be carefully brushed clean, the internal passages and solenoid diaphragm of a sediment-clogged valve are easily damaged during cleaning attempts — a common outcome is a valve that leaks or sticks open after being "cleaned," which risks flooding. Real-world experience (including customer stories with this exact part) shows that attempting to clean a hard-water-clogged valve often breaks it. Given the moderate cost of the OEM replacement versus the flood risk of a compromised valve, replacement is the reliable repair. If your area has hard water, consider this a maintenance item that may need periodic replacement.
My dishwasher won't stop filling — is that also this valve?
Yes — a valve stuck in the open position is the other failure mode. When sediment or a worn diaphragm prevents the valve from sealing fully closed, water continues to flow into the tub even when the control board has cut power to the solenoid. This can lead to overfilling and potentially flooding through the door or float overflow. If your dishwasher keeps filling past its normal level, or you find water accumulating in the tub between cycles, shut off the water supply at the sink immediately and replace the valve before running the dishwasher again.
How do I know this is the right valve for my GE dishwasher?
Check your dishwasher's model number (on a label along the door frame or tub edge) against the compatibility list above — the WD15X26078 covers a broad range of GE GDF, GDT, GDP, Profile PDT/PDP, QDP, Monogram ZDT, DDT, and Café CDT series dishwashers. Be aware that some similar-looking GE valves (such as WD15X24213 or WD15X26140) are different parts used on other model groups — they are not interchangeable with the WD15X26078. If your model isn't in the list or your original valve shows a different part number, contact our support team with your model number and we'll verify the correct valve before you order.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same water inlet valve installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

242252702 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Valve
The 242252702 is a genuine Frigidaire OEM triple-solenoid water inlet valve assembly for Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and White-Westinghouse side-by-side refrigerators. This valve is the central control point where your home's water supply connects to the refrigerator, and it manages water flow to both the ice maker and the door-mounted water dispenser through three separate solenoids housed in one assembly, each opening independently depending on what's being called for.
Rated 120V, 50/60Hz per solenoid (20W maroon, 20W yellow, 35W green — each solenoid's wire is color-coded), this valve has 4 outlets total: one 1/4" tube inlet, three 5/16" tube outlets, and one 1/4" tube outlet. It measures approximately 7-1/8"L x 3-3/4"W x 3-1/4"H and ships as a complete assembly with mounting bracket and installation instructions. This valve directly replaces the older 241734302 design and uses updated quick-connect fittings in place of the older screw-on style. A failing valve typically shows up as the ice maker or dispenser not working, slow water flow, or — notably — an overflowing ice maker caused by the valve not shutting off completely if household water pressure is too low. It directly replaces 240321801, 240505101, 240505102, 240508101, 240508102, 240531101, 241734301, 241734302, 7241734301, WV2702, 2692163, AP5671757, EAP7784018, PD00000153, PS7784018, and K-76150.
Quick Answer
The 242252702 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Refrigerator Water Valve fixes Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and White-Westinghouse side-by-side refrigerators where the ice maker or water dispenser isn't working, water flow is slow, or the ice maker is overflowing. Triple-solenoid, 4-outlet valve assembly with bracket. Replaces 240321801, 240505101, 240505102, 240508101, 240508102, 240531101, 241734301, 241734302, 7241734301, WV2702, 2692163, AP5671757, EAP7784018, PD00000153, PS7784018, K-76150. This valve needs at least 20 psi of household water pressure to shut off completely — if pressure is too low, the valve can leak and cause the ice maker to overflow even when the valve itself is functioning correctly.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Ice maker has stopped making ice, or is producing less ice than usual
Water dispenser on the refrigerator door isn't working or has slowed down
Ice maker overflowing or leaking
Slow water flow at the dispenser
Water leaking near the valve at the back of the refrigerator

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet and shut off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear of the cabinet. Remove the two hex screws securing the old valve. Before disconnecting anything, note or photograph which plastic tube connects to which port on the multi-port valve assembly — with three solenoids and multiple outlets, getting a hose on the wrong port will send water to the wrong place. Disconnect the water supply hose, the electrical connectors (which are color-coded to their matching solenoids on the new valve), and the outlet hoses, then remove the old valve. Install the new 242252702 in the same position with its included mounting bracket, secure it with the hex screws, and reconnect each outlet hose to its correct port exactly as noted. Reconnect the color-coded electrical connectors to their matching solenoid wires. Reattach the water supply hose, tightening securely. While the back of the refrigerator is accessible, it's also a good opportunity to clean the condenser coils and surrounding area. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place, then test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the following day. Tools needed: hex screwdriver or nut driver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker is overflowing. Is this the valve?
Possibly, but check your household water pressure first. This valve requires a minimum of 20 psi to shut off fully — if your home's water pressure is below that, the valve may not close completely even though it's functioning correctly, letting water leak through and overflow the ice maker. If your water pressure tests below 20 psi, that's the underlying cause rather than a defective valve, and addressing the pressure issue (or installing a pressure-boosting solution) is the correct fix.
The new valve looks different from my old one. Is that normal?
Yes. This valve has been updated to use quick-connect fittings in place of the older screw-on style used on earlier units, so the connection points may look different from what you're used to. It's still a correct, direct functional replacement — the new fittings just make installation somewhat easier.
How do I know which hose goes where? This valve has multiple outlets.
Note or photograph the hose routing on your old valve before disconnecting anything — with three solenoids and four total outlets, it's easy to reverse a connection if you're not careful. The electrical connectors are color-coded (maroon, yellow, green) to help you match them to the correct solenoid on the new valve, which makes the wiring side more foolproof than the hose routing.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original triple-solenoid design, wattage per solenoid, and outlet configuration of the water valve originally installed in your refrigerator.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Pull the washer away from the wall to access the back panel. The water inlet valve is mounted on the upper rear of the washer. Photograph all wire harness connections and hose positions before disconnecting. Disconnect the two external supply hoses from the valve inlet ports. Disconnect the internal outlet hoses by squeezing the retaining clips and pulling free. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from each solenoid port. Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the old valve. Install the new AJU75152602 valve in the same position, reconnect all internal hoses, wire harnesses, and external supply hoses in the documented positions. Restore water supply and power, then run a fill cycle to verify normal filling and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AJU75152602 and AJU75152601?
These are two different water inlet valve assemblies for different generations of LG top-load washers. The AJU75152601 (which also replaces AJU73213301 and 5221EA1008F) is used on LG's earlier and smaller-capacity top-load washers in the WT1xxx, WT4xxx, and WT5xxx series. The AJU75152602 (which replaces 5221EA1008S) is for LG's larger-capacity WT7xxx series. Despite appearing similar, they have different port configurations and are not interchangeable. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed?
Common signs are the washer not filling, filling only on one temperature setting, overfilling, dripping between cycles, or leaking from the valve area. Before replacing the valve, check that both supply valves are fully open and the hoses are not kinked. You can test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — a working coil shows resistance (typically 200–500 ohms); an open circuit confirms that coil has failed. Also inspect and clean the inlet screens inside the supply port openings — mineral-clogged screens can restrict flow enough to cause the same symptoms as a failed valve.
What are the two inlet screens included with the valve?
The two mesh screens that come with the AJU75152602 install inside the hot and cold water inlet ports of the valve. They catch sediment, mineral particles, and debris from the household water supply before they can reach the solenoid valve seats. Installing fresh screens along with the new valve helps extend the valve's service life, especially in areas with hard water. If the previous valve failed due to mineral buildup rather than an electrical fault, cleaning the supply hoses before installation is also recommended.
My LG WT7300CW is only filling with cold water — is this the valve?
Filling with only cold water on a warm or hot cycle is a classic sign that the hot water solenoid coil on the inlet valve has failed. Each temperature port is controlled by its own independent solenoid — when the hot solenoid fails, only the cold port opens. Before replacing the valve, also confirm that the household hot water supply valve is fully open and that hot water is reaching the back of the washer in the supply hose. If hot water supply is confirmed and the cold-only fill persists, replace the AJU75152602 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 LG OEM part, but is manufactured from ABS plastic and stainless steel to match the port configuration and specifications of the original AJU75152602 water inlet valve assembly.

WH23X29538 (OE) Washer Water Valve
The WH23X29538 is an OE (Original Equipment) water inlet valve for GE front-load washers. This valve regulates the flow of water into the wash tub from the household supply line, with two water inlets (each with its own filter), four solenoid coils, and five water outlets working together to precisely control flow, temperature blending, and fill level throughout the cycle.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. Built with a stainless steel-reinforced, high-quality ABS plastic body for corrosion resistance and long-term sealing. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body and general electrical wear in the solenoid coils. A failing valve produces a range of symptoms: leaking or overflowing water, slow or irregular water filling, the washer filling non-stop or not filling at all, incorrect water temperature, or unusual noise during the fill cycle. It directly replaces WH23X29538, C-163/21-A13, 33090201, PD00071094, EAP16217225, AP6990115, AGE26158, PS16217225.

What Is an OE Part?
OE (Original Equipment) means this part is manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM version — identical fit, materials, and performance. The only difference is packaging: OE parts ship under our XPARTCO brand rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why they can't be listed as Genuine OEM. You get factory-original quality at a more affordable price.

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 both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access to this valve is typically behind the front control panel or top of the cabinet, depending on your model. Have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out when you disconnect the lines. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything — this valve has multiple inlets and outlets, and reconnecting one in the wrong position can cause a fill or temperature issue. Disconnect the water supply lines from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding it in place, then pull the valve free. Install the new WH23X29538 in the same position, reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions exactly as photographed, reconnect the electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply lines, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. 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 correct fill behavior and water temperature. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't stop filling. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing valve. A worn internal seal on one of the four solenoid coils can fail to close fully, letting water continue flowing even after the correct fill level is reached. Since this could lead to overflow, it's worth shutting off the water supply at the wall if you notice this happening rather than waiting to address it.
My water temperature seems off during the wash. Could this valve be the cause?
Yes. Because this valve has two separate inlets (hot and cold) and multiple solenoid coils that blend water to reach the correct temperature for each cycle setting, a fault in one of those coils can throw off the temperature blend even while the washer otherwise fills normally. This is a documented symptom this valve resolves.
Is this the same as WH23X29553? The numbers are very close.
No, these are two separate GE valve part numbers with completely different cross-reference sets and different compatible model series — this WH23X29538 serves the GFW550 series, while WH23X29553 serves the GFW650/850 and PFW870/950 series. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is an OE (Original Equipment) part sold under our XPARTCO brand. OE parts are manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM part, so the fit, materials, and performance are identical — the difference is that OE parts ship in XPARTCO packaging rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why we can't list them as Genuine OEM.

Choice WR57X10098 Refrigerator Water Valve
The Choice WR57X10098 is a Choice-brand replacement dual water inlet valve for GE refrigerators, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. Located in the left door on many GE refrigerator platforms, this single valve supplies water to both the ice maker and the door water dispenser. When either feature calls for water, this valve's solenoids open to admit it and close again once the request is satisfied — since one valve handles both jobs, a failure here can affect the ice maker, the dispenser, or both at once.
Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from the household water supply interfering with the valve's internal operation, and electrical faults either in the valve itself or in the refrigerator's control board that signals it. A failing dual water valve produces a recognizable set of symptoms: the door dispenser stops delivering water, the ice maker slows down or stops producing ice, water leaking around the valve area, or the valve failing to shut off water flow completely. It directly replaces AP5656686, 3033225, and PS6011774.
Quick Answer
The Choice WR57X10098 Refrigerator Water Valve fixes GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café refrigerators where the door water dispenser stops working, the ice maker slows down or stops making ice, water is leaking near the valve, or the valve won't shut off completely. Located in the left door on many models. Replaces AP5656686, 3033225, PS6011774. Before replacing, rule out a clogged water filter and check the control board signal — both can produce identical symptoms to a failed valve.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Water dispenser on the refrigerator door has stopped working
Ice maker has slowed down, stopped producing ice, or is malfunctioning intermittently
Both the ice maker and water dispenser affected at the same time
Water leaking or dripping around the valve area

Installation Notes
⚠️ Danger — Authorized Service Part Required For Flammable Refrigerant Systems GE's own service guidance carries an explicit warning for this component: it is a manufacturer-authorized service part intended for use in refrigerator models that use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a. Using an unauthorized or incorrectly rated service part in a unit that uses a flammable refrigerant could lead to a risk of fire or explosion. Before ordering or installing, confirm your refrigerator's refrigerant type and verify this part is correct for your specific model. If you have any doubt about your refrigerant type or the correct part for your unit, contact our support team with your model number before proceeding, or have a qualified appliance technician perform this repair.
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Refrigerator Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet, and shut off the water supply valve behind or below the refrigerator before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically through the left door on models where this valve is door-mounted, or at the rear of the cabinet on others — check your model's service diagram. Have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out when you disconnect the line. Photograph the wiring and water line connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water supply line from the old valve, disconnect the electrical connector, and remove the mounting screws holding it in place, then pull the valve free. Install the new WR57X10098 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. Restore the water supply and check the connection for leaks before restoring power. Test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the next day to confirm normal operation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is there a fire/explosion warning on this part?
Some refrigerators use a flammable refrigerant, such as R600a (isobutane), instead of older non-flammable refrigerants. Electrical components like this water valve are near refrigerant lines and can be a source of ignition if a leak were ever present, which is why GE requires an authorized, correctly rated service part for these systems rather than a generic substitute. Confirming your model and refrigerant type before ordering is the appropriate precaution.
My dispenser stopped working but the ice maker still works. Is this the right part?
It's possible, but worth checking a couple of things first, since this valve serves both features from one unit. Confirm the water supply line isn't kinked, and check the inline water filter for a clog, since a blocked filter can starve the dispenser specifically while the ice maker keeps working depending on your model's plumbing. If the filter and supply line are clear and the dispenser still won't deliver water, the valve itself is the likely cause.
Could the problem actually be my water filter instead of this valve?
Yes, it's worth ruling out first. A clogged inline water filter can produce very similar symptoms to a failing valve — reduced dispenser flow, slow ice production, or both. Try replacing the water filter first if it's been a while since the last change; if symptoms persist afterward, the dual water valve is the more likely cause.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is a Choice-brand replacement part. Choice parts are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, materials, and performance, giving you reliable quality at a more affordable price than the genuine branded part.
