W11688995 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) The W11688995 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM cold water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built front-load washers. Whirlpool's newer front-load platforms use two separate single-function valves instead of one combined hot/cold valve body — this cold-side valve handles only the cold water supply, while a matching hot-side valve (sold separately as W11688994) handles the hot side. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes this valve's solenoid coils to open the water path; when the correct level is reached, the valve closes again. If this valve fails to open, the washer won't take on cold water; if it fails to seal fully closed, water can trickle into the drum even when the washer isn't running. Because this is a dedicated single-function valve, a failure here shows up in a very specific way: cold-only fills stop working or slow down dramatically, while hot-only fills (governed by the separate W11688994 valve) continue working normally. Whirlpool's own service guidance links this valve to F8 E1 and LO FL fill-related error codes. Common failure modes include mineral or sediment buildup that prevents the valve from sealing, a burned-out solenoid coil, or a worn internal diaphragm. It directly replaces W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, PS17216730, and EAP17216730. As a genuine OEM part, the W11688995 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Note — cold side only: This is the cold water valve. The matching hot water valve for these same washers is sold separately under part number W11688994. The two are not interchangeable — each is a dedicated single-function valve, and installing this cold valve in place of the hot valve (or vice versa) will not correctly control water temperature. If both valves need replacement, order both part numbers. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

Wear work gloves. Disconnect the cold water supply line 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 side by side and it's easy to cross a wire. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old cold valve, remove its mounting screw or bracket, and pull the valve free — leave the hot valve (W11688994) undisturbed if it isn't also being replaced. Install the new W11688995 in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the cold water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check the connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle set to a cold wash and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, T-20 Torx bit, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Cold water won't fill but hot water works fine. Is this the right part? Yes — that's exactly the symptom pattern this valve addresses. Because your washer uses two separate single-function valves rather than one combined valve, a fault on the cold side only affects cold fills while the hot valve (W11688994) keeps working independently. If cold-specific cycles are the ones failing, this cold 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 has actually failed. If only cold fills are affected, replacing this W11688995 valve alone is sufficient. If both hot and cold fills are having problems, or if the valves are original and quite old, some people choose to replace both at once since they're already accessing the same area — but it's not required. My washer shows an F8 E1 or LO FL error. Does that mean this valve is bad? It's a strong indicator, but check the basics first. These codes generally mean the control didn't see water reach the expected level within its allotted fill time. Before replacing the valve, confirm the cold supply valve at the wall is fully open, check the inlet screen inside the valve port for sediment or debris, and make sure the cold fill hose isn't kinked. If those check out and cold water still won't fill properly, this valve is the likely cause. Can I use this valve on the hot water side instead? No. This is a dedicated cold-water valve, and the hot-water side uses a separate part number, W11688994. The two are built and calibrated for their specific supply line and are not interchangeable — installing the cold valve on the hot side (or vice versa) will not properly control water temperature during the cycle. 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 two-coil solenoid design, seal, and flow-rate calibration as the cold water inlet valve originally installed in your front-load washer.

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.

WH13X10029 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve The WH13X10029 is a genuine GE OEM water inlet valve for GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café front-load washers. This is a 2-inlet, 3-outlet valve assembly built around three internal solenoids: two work together during the wash portion of the cycle, opening in different combinations depending on the wash temperature you select, while the third solenoid handles the dedicated cold-only rinse. Because three separate solenoids share one valve body, a failure in any single one of them can affect only part of your washer's fill behavior while the rest continues working normally. Rated 120V, 60Hz, and measuring approximately 5-3/8"L x 3-1/8"W x 2-1/2"H, this valve ships as a complete 3-solenoid assembly with its mounting bracket included. Common failure symptoms include the washer continuing to fill after it should have stopped, slow filling, or a complete failure to fill on one specific water temperature setting while others work fine. It directly replaces AP4303282, WV10029, 33090039, 1475762, AH1482392, EA1482392, EAP1482392, PD00001515, and PS1482392.

Wear work gloves. If your washer is part of a stacked laundry center, the dryer sitting on top will need to be removed first to access the top of the washer — this is much easier with a second person helping to lift and support the dryer safely. Remove the screws securing the top panel of the washer, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses from the back of the valve, keeping a towel handy for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything, since this valve has multiple solenoids and outlet hoses that must be reconnected in the correct positions. Disconnect the electrical connectors and the three outlet hoses from the old valve, then remove its mounting screws and pull it free along with its bracket. Install the new WH13X10029 assembly in the same position, reconnect all three outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connectors, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses, tightening securely. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings, including a cold-only rinse if your washer has one, to confirm each solenoid is filling and shutting off correctly. If this is a stackable unit, carefully reposition the dryer back on top once testing is complete. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves, and a helper for stackable units. Frequently Asked Questions My washer won't shut off and keeps filling. Is that this valve? Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing valve on this platform. A worn internal seal on one of the three solenoids 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. Only my cold-only rinse doesn't fill, but regular wash cycles work fine. Do I need the whole valve? Yes. This valve houses three separate solenoids in one assembly — two that combine for wash-cycle fills at different temperatures, and one dedicated specifically to the cold-only rinse. If just one of those three has failed, the others can continue working normally, which is exactly why a single-cycle fill problem can appear alongside otherwise normal operation. The three solenoids aren't sold or serviced individually, so replacing the complete assembly is the correct repair even if only one function is affected. Do I really need to remove the dryer if this is a stacked unit? On most stacked laundry centers, yes — the top panel of the washer sits underneath the dryer, so the dryer needs to come off first to get access. This is a heavier, more awkward step than the rest of the repair, so it's worth having a second person help lift and support the dryer safely rather than attempting it alone. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same 3-solenoid design, flow rate, and mounting configuration as the water valve originally installed in your front-load washer.

WH13X26535 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve The WH13X26535 is a genuine GE OEM water inlet valve assembly for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub during the fill portion of the cycle, ensuring each wash uses the correct amount of water at the right temperature blend. It's housed in durable gray plastic. 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 — five years is a commonly cited service life before this valve starts to show problems. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not filling properly, water continuing to fill or drip even when the washer is turned off, or leaking near the valve area. It directly replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, and PD00052736. As a genuine OEM part, the WH13X26535 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. Quick Answer The WH13X26535 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve fixes GE top-load washers that aren't filling properly, are overfilling, or have water slowly dripping into the tub even when the washer is off. Housed in gray plastic. Replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, PD00052736. This replacement valve does not include a thermistor or gasket — if your old valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you'll need to transfer it (with its gasket) to the new valve. Also not the same as the similarly-numbered WH13X26534, which is a separate valve for other GE/Hotpoint models. Common Problems This Part Fixes Washer not filling with water properly Washer overfilling Water slowly dripping or leaking into the tub even when the washer is turned off Leaking near the valve connections No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This water valve is compatible with select GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café washers built on the GE platform, spanning model series GTW460, GTW465, GTW485, GTW490, GTW500, GTW525, GTW540, and VTW540, including specific model numbers such as 5TW4207ST0WS, 5TW4307SW0WS, ETW485ASW0WB, GTW460AMJ0WW, GTW460AMJ1WW, and GTW460AMJ2WW. Note — thermistor transfer required, and not the same as WH13X26534: This valve does not include a thermistor or the rubber gasket that seats it. If your original valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you must transfer that thermistor and its gasket onto this new valve during installation. Separately, this part is not the same as the similarly-numbered WH13X26534, a distinct valve used on other GE/Hotpoint models with its own cross-reference set (PS12726768, AP6891106). Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features Genuine GE OEM part — factory-specified solenoid design and housing Controls hot and cold water flow into the tub Resolves "won't fill properly," "overfilling," and "dripping into the tub when off" symptoms caused by valve failure Durable gray plastic housing Direct drop-in replacement — matches the original mounting and hose connections Replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, and PD00052736 Compatible with GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café top-load washers Genuine OEM replacement — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance Moderate DIY repair, typically 30 to 60 minutes Product Specifications Part Number WH13X26535 Part Type Washer Water Inlet Valve Condition Genuine OEM Application Top-Load Washers Housing Material Gray plastic Includes Thermistor/Gasket No — transfer from old valve if equipped Repair Difficulty Moderate — 30 to 60 minutes Quantity 1 valve Compatible Brands GE, Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, Café Installation Notes ⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Watch For The Thermistor O-Ring 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 is typically behind the front control panel or top of the cabinet, depending on your model. The valve assembly is usually held in place with a metal plate and two screws. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. If your old valve has a thermistor (temperature sensor) mounted in front of the solenoids, it fits into a small hole in the bracket and uses an O-ring seal that's known to degrade and leak over time — this new valve does not include one, so you'll need to carefully transfer the thermistor and its gasket from the old valve to the new one. Disconnect the electrical connector and outlet hoses from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Transfer the thermistor and gasket to the new WH13X26535 if applicable, then install it 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. 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 with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Does this valve come with the thermistor? No. This valve no longer comes with the rubber gasket or thermistor that some GE washers use, mounted directly in front of the solenoids. If your old unit has one, you'll need to remove it from the old valve, along with its gasket, and transfer it onto this new valve during installation. Water has been slowly leaking into my tub even when the washer is off. Is that this valve? Yes, this is a documented cause. One customer traced over a year of slow leaking directly to this valve's thermistor O-ring, which is known to degrade over time and let water seep through even when the washer isn't running. Replacing the valve (and transferring a good thermistor and gasket if your model uses one) resolves this type of slow leak. Is this the same as WH13X26534? 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 number match. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original solenoid design, housing, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.

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. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore front-load washers displaying F8E1 or LO FL error codes, not filling with cold water, filling slowly, failing to dispense fabric softener, or continuously dripping into the tub.

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.

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.

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.

W10599356 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve The W10599356 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built front-load washers, including full-size and compact models. This valve sits at the back of the washer where the hot and cold water supply hoses connect, and it's the gatekeeper for every drop of water that enters the drum. When the control calls for water, it energizes the valve's solenoid coils to open the hot side, the cold side, or both together, and closes them again once the correct fill level is reached. A valve that won't open leaves you with no fill at all; a valve that won't fully close can let water trickle or flow into the drum even when the cycle isn't calling for it. Over time, mineral deposits and sediment from the water supply can build up inside the valve body and prevent it from sealing fully, the internal solenoid coil can burn out electrically, and the rubber diaphragm or seal inside can simply wear out with age. A failing valve on this platform commonly triggers an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code, since the control expects water to reach the correct level within a set time and flags it when that doesn't happen. It directly replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, and W10509710. As a genuine OEM part, the W10599356 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. Quick Answer The W10599356 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool-built front-load washers that won't fill, fill slowly, overfill, leak water into the drum when the cycle isn't running, or throw an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code. Solenoid-actuated water inlet valve for the hot and cold supply connections. Replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, W10509710.

Wear work gloves. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply lines from the back of the valve first — have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out. Use a 1/4" nut driver or socket to remove the rear screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old valve, remove the mounting screw or bracket (often a T-20 Torx screw), and pull the valve free from its mounting position. Install the new W10599356 in the same orientation, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the hot and cold water supply lines to the correct ports, 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 the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. While everything is accessible, consider replacing the fill hoses as well, since they wear on a similar schedule. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, T-20 Torx bit, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My washer shows an F8 E1 error. Does that mean the valve is definitely bad? It's a strong indicator, but check the basics first. F8 E1 and similar fill-related codes generally mean the control didn't see water reach the expected level within its allotted fill time. Before replacing the valve, confirm both hot and cold supply valves at the wall are fully open, check the inlet screens inside the valve ports for sediment or debris, and make sure the fill hoses aren't kinked. If those check out and the washer still won't fill properly, the inlet valve itself is the likely cause. Water keeps trickling into the drum even when the washer is off. Is that the valve? Yes, this is one of the classic symptoms of a valve that isn't sealing fully closed. Mineral deposits, sediment, or a worn internal diaphragm can prevent the valve from shutting off completely, letting a slow trickle of water continue into the drum between cycles. This can eventually lead to an overfill or water pooling at the front of the washer, so it's worth addressing promptly rather than waiting. Only hot or only cold water isn't coming in. Do I need to replace the whole valve? Usually yes. Most washer inlet valves use two separate solenoid coils in one housing — one for hot, one for cold — but they're not typically sold as separately replaceable coils. If just one side has stopped working while the other functions normally, that still points to a failure inside this valve assembly, and replacing the complete unit is the standard repair. Should I replace the fill hoses while I'm in there? It's a good idea. The fill hoses connect right at the same point you'll already have exposed, wear on a similar timeline as the valve, and are a common source of slow leaks that get blamed on the valve. Since you're already accessing this area, replacing hoses that show any cracking, bulging, or stiffness saves you from repeating the disassembly later. 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 solenoid design, seal, and flow-rate calibration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your front-load washer.
