285805 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve
The 285805 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for direct-drive top-load washers and Whirlpool-built washer/dryer laundry centers. This valve sits at the back of the washer where the hot and cold supply hoses connect, and it controls every drop of water entering the tub — energizing to open the hot side, the cold side, or both together when the control calls for a fill, and closing again once the correct level is reached. It's one of the longest-running, most widely used inlet valves on the Whirlpool direct-drive platform, the same platform that our 8318084 lid switch listing also serves.
This is a complete kit: it ships with the mounting bracket, screws, and installation instructions, and it accepts a 1/2" ID hose through two 3/4"-11 threaded NHT ports. Depending on production run, the valve body may arrive blue or green — both are correct and function identically. Over years of use, mineral and sediment buildup (especially calcium deposits from hard water) can restrict or block the valve, the internal solenoid coil can burn out electrically, and the rubber seals can simply wear out with age. A blocked or failing valve commonly shows up as slow filling, no fill on one side, continuous filling that won't stop, or leaking after the cycle ends. It directly replaces AP3094541, 21026, 285805VP, 292197, 3349451, 3354565, 3360387, 3360388, 3360389, 3360391, 3360392, 3429537, 358992, 370067, 388328, 3952163, 3952164, 3955673, 8228, 868761, 99989697, AH334646, EA334646, PS334646, and W10110517.
Quick Answer
The 285805 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes direct-drive top-load washers and Whirlpool-built washer/dryer laundry centers that won't fill, fill slowly, won't stop filling, leak after the cycle, or have no hot or no cold water. Complete kit with mounting bracket, screws, and instructions. Dual-port valve for a 1/2" ID hose, two 3/4"-11 NHT threaded connections, approximately 5.7" tall. Replaces AP3094541, 21026, 285805VP, 292197, 3349451, 3354565, 3360387, 3360388, 3360389, 3360391, 3360392, 3429537, 358992, 370067, 388328, 3952163, 3952164, 3955673, 8228, 868761, 99989697, AH334646, EA334646, PS334646, W10110517.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Bracket Orientation May Take Trial And Error 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. Pull the washer away from the wall for access, then disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses from the back of the valve — have a towel ready, since residual water will spill out. Remove the screws securing the rear or top cabinet panel (on some stackable laundry centers, the entire top enclosure lifts off as one piece, which also disconnects the lid switch wiring harness at the rear — note this connector's location before pulling the panel free). Photograph the wiring and hose routing before disconnecting anything. Unplug the wiring harness from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free along with its bracket. Some original valves used an integrated bracket, while this replacement kit ships with a separate bracket that has multiple mounting holes to fit different configurations — you may need to test a couple of orientations before the hose connections line up correctly with your existing hoses. Mount the new 285805 to the bracket, secure it in the cabinet in the same general position as the old valve, and reconnect the wiring harness. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses to the correct ports, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the cabinet panel, reconnecting the lid switch harness if applicable, restore the water supply, and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My valve is blue but the old one was green (or vice versa). Did I get the wrong part?
No — this is normal. The 285805 has shipped with either a blue or a green valve body depending on the production run, and both are the correct, fully functional part. The color has no effect on fit or performance.
The new valve's bracket doesn't match my old one. What do I do?
This is a known and expected difference. Many original valves used a bracket integrated directly into the valve body, while this replacement kit ships with a separate bracket that has multiple mounting holes to accommodate different washer configurations. It may take a little trial and error to find the orientation that positions the valve correctly for your existing hose connections — this is a bracket design difference, not a sign that the wrong part was sent.
Only hot water won't fill, but cold works fine. Is that this valve?
Yes, likely — and often it's specifically mineral or calcium buildup rather than outright failure. Hot water tends to accelerate scale buildup inside the valve port compared to cold, so after many years of hard water use, the hot side can become restricted or fully blocked while the cold side continues working normally. Replacing the valve resolves this since the internal ports aren't designed to be cleaned out once heavily scaled.
My washer won't stop filling. Is that dangerous, and is it this valve?
It can lead to overflow and water damage if left unaddressed, so it's worth shutting off the water supply at the wall if this happens rather than waiting. A valve that won't stop filling usually means a worn internal seal or diaphragm is no longer sealing shut when the solenoid de-energizes, letting water continue flowing. This valve is the correct replacement for that symptom.
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-port solenoid design, thread specifications, and flow-rate calibration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your direct-drive top-load washer or laundry center.

DA97-07603B Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker
The DA97-07603B is a genuine Samsung OEM ice maker assembly for Samsung and select Maytag refrigerators. This is the freezer ice maker, located inside the freezer compartment — it is not the in-door icemaker used on many other Samsung models. This is a plastic tray-style ice maker with a 9-cube flex tray design, an 8-pin connector, and includes a motor for ice ejection, a water valve to fill the mold, and a thermostat that senses temperature and signals when it's time to release the finished ice.
This complete assembly contains the entire ice maker and its housing. If the mold's coating is flaking, or internal components have stopped functioning, replacing the full assembly resolves both problems at once. Failure symptoms include the ice maker not producing ice, reduced ice production, or loud popping sounds coming from the ice maker during operation. It directly replaces DA61-03213B, DA97-07603B, DA97-05037D, DA97-07603A, 2688774, DA59-00294A, DA61-03213B, DA63-06415A, DA97-05037A, DA97-05037C, DA61-05227, AP5651755, ASM105616, PD00002034, PS5575313.
Quick Answer
The DA97-07603B Genuine OEM Samsung Refrigerator Ice Maker fixes Samsung and select Maytag refrigerators where the freezer ice maker has stopped producing ice, is making less ice than usual, or is making loud popping sounds during operation. 9-cube flex tray, 8-pin connector. Replaces DA61-03213B, DA97-07603B, DA97-05037D, DA97-07603A, 2688774, DA59-00294A, DA61-03213B, DA63-06415A, DA97-05037A, DA97-05037C, DA61-05227, AP5651755, ASM105616, PD00002034, PS5575313. This is the freezer ice maker — it does not fit an in-door icemaker, and it is not a substitute for the DA97-07603C icemaker used on other models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Ice maker has stopped producing ice entirely
Ice maker producing less ice than it used to
Loud popping sounds coming from the ice maker during operation
Ice mold coating visibly flaking or deteriorating
Ice maker cycling but not ejecting ice properly

Note — freezer icemaker only, and not a substitute for DA97-07603C: This is a drop-in replacement for the freezer icemaker only. It will not fit an in-door icemaker used on many other Samsung models. It also replaces the earlier DA97-07603A version, but is not a suitable substitute for the DA97-07603C icemaker used on other models, despite the similar numbering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Refrigerator And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Unplug the refrigerator from the power outlet and turn off the water supply before beginning. Wear work gloves. On bottom-freezer drawer-style models, most of the time in this repair goes toward removing the trays from the freezer and pulling the freezer door/drawer out for access — budget extra time for this step. Remove the ice maker cover by lifting it away from the housing. Remove the ice bucket and any cover plates blocking access. Photograph the wiring connection before disconnecting anything. Unscrew the ice maker from its housing, disconnect the water line connection and the 8-pin electrical connector, and carefully lift the old assembly out of its compartment. Install the new DA97-07603B in the same position, reconnect the water line and electrical connector fully, and secure it to the housing with its screws. Reinstall the ice maker cover, cover plates, and ice bucket, then replace the freezer trays and close the freezer door/drawer. Restore the water supply and power, then allow several hours for the first cycle to complete and confirm ice is being produced normally. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My ice maker makes loud popping sounds. Is this the part I need?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing ice maker assembly, alongside reduced or stopped ice production. If you're hearing unusual popping noises during the ice-making cycle, replacing the complete assembly addresses the underlying mechanical or electrical issue rather than trying to isolate and repair a specific internal component.
My refrigerator has an in-door ice maker. Will this part fit?
No. This DA97-07603B is specifically a drop-in replacement for the freezer compartment icemaker and will not fit an in-door icemaker used on many other Samsung refrigerator models. Check where your current ice maker is physically located — inside the freezer versus built into the refrigerator door — before ordering.
Is this the same as the DA97-07603C icemaker I've seen for other models?
No. While this part does replace the earlier DA97-07603A version, it is explicitly not a suitable substitute for the DA97-07603C icemaker used on other Samsung models, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm your full model number rather than assuming based on a close part number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Samsung to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original mold design, motor, water valve, and thermostat configuration of the freezer ice maker originally installed in your refrigerator.

XPARTCO AJU75152601 Washer Water Inlet Valve Replaces 5221EA1008F, AJU73213301
The XPARTCO AJU75152601 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore top-load washers in the WT1, WT4, WT5, WT6, and WT7 series. This is a multi-port valve assembly that controls water flow from the household supply lines into the washer tub and dispenser compartments. The assembly contains multiple solenoid-operated valve ports: hot water inlet, cold water inlet, bleach dispenser valve, fabric softener dispenser valve, and jet spray valve — all integrated into a single assembly that connects to the washer's control board via wiring harnesses.
When the water inlet valve fails — or when one individual port fails — the washer may not fill at all, fill too slowly, fill with the wrong temperature, overfill, fail to dispense bleach or fabric softener, or leak from the valve body. The valve solenoids operate at 12V DC. This kit includes the complete valve assembly and two AGM73269501 inlet screens. It directly replaces AJU73213301, 5221EA1008F, 5221EA1008P, AGF76283896, AP6308239, TAW35618287, AH3527446, AJU75152603, EA3527446, PS3527446, and PS12374721. Installs in 15–25 minutes with basic hand tools.

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 assembly is mounted on the upper rear of the washer — the external supply hoses connect to the hot and cold inlet ports. Photograph all wire harness connections and hose routing before disconnecting anything. Before installing, install the new inlet screens (AGM73269501) included in the kit into the hot and cold inlet ports of the new valve. Disconnect the old valve's external supply hoses, internal hoses, and wire harness connectors. Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the old valve. Install the new AJU75152601 valve, reconnect all hoses and wire harnesses in the same positions as documented in your photos, and secure the mounting screws. Reconnect the external supply hoses, restore water supply and power, and run a fill cycle to verify proper filling, confirm all dispenser ports activate at the correct cycle points, and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AJU75152601, AJU73213301, and 5221EA1008F?
These are all part numbers for the same LG washer water inlet valve assembly used across different production runs. 5221EA1008F was the original part number, AJU73213301 was an updated version, and AJU75152601 is the current part number. All three are interchangeable. If your washer's documentation, parts diagram, or old valve label shows any of these numbers, this replacement is the correct current part to order.
My washer won't dispense fabric softener — is this the right part?
Yes — the fabric softener dispenser solenoid is one of the ports integrated into the AJU75152601 valve assembly. When the fabric softener dispenser fails to activate at the right point in the rinse cycle, it is almost always because the solenoid valve controlling that port has failed. Since it is part of the same multi-port valve assembly, replacing the AJU75152601 resolves fabric softener, bleach, and jet spray dispenser issues in the same repair. Individual ports cannot be replaced — the complete assembly must be replaced when any one port fails.
What are the AGM73269501 inlet screens included in the kit?
The AGM73269501 screens are small mesh filters that install inside the hot and cold water inlet ports of the valve. They trap mineral deposits and debris from the household water supply before they can reach the valve seats and solenoid mechanisms. The kit includes two screens — one for the hot inlet and one for the cold inlet. Installing these fresh screens with the new valve helps extend valve life, especially in areas with hard water. If the old valve failed due to mineral clogging rather than solenoid failure, cleaning the supply hoses before installation is also recommended.
How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed vs. the control board?
You can test the valve solenoids with a multimeter. Disconnect the harness from a solenoid coil and probe both terminals — a working solenoid coil shows a resistance reading (typically 200–500 ohms); an open circuit confirms the solenoid has failed. If all solenoid coils test good but the valve still does not operate, the control board may not be sending the correct 12V DC signal to the solenoids — this requires checking voltage at the solenoid connectors with the washer powered and in a fill cycle, which is a more advanced diagnostic step.
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, solenoid specifications, and dimensions of the original AJU75152601 water inlet valve assembly.

XPARTCO WH23X29553 Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO WH23X29553 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for GE front-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer from the household supply line — when the control calls for a fill, the valve's solenoid opens to admit water, and closes again once the correct level is reached. Built with an ABS plastic body and stainless steel components for durability against corrosion.
Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use. A failing valve typically shows up as the washer not filling properly, filling too slowly, or leaking water. It directly replaces AP6983554, PS12743643, EAP12743643, 33090202, and 0024000126GA. As an aftermarket replacement, the WH23X29553 is built to OEM-equivalent quality standards.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH23X29553 Washer Water Valve fixes GE front-load washers (and select Hotpoint, RCA, Haier, Monogram, and Café models) that aren't filling properly, are filling too slowly, or are leaking water near the valve connections. Replaces AP6983554, PS12743643, EAP12743643, 33090202, 0024000126GA. Not the same part as the similarly-numbered WH23X29538 valve — confirm you have the correct number before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer not filling with water, or filling only partially
Washer fills much more slowly than it used to
Water leaking near the valve connections
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash

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

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dishwasher And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off the water supply at the shutoff valve located behind the dishwasher before beginning. Wear work gloves. Remove the bottom front kick plate by pulling outward on the two clips located at either side of the bottom panel. Locate the water inlet valve on the right-hand side of the dishwasher interior. Disconnect the two 3/8" water lines from the old valve. Unscrew the mounting screws holding the valve in place, and carefully pull the old valve away from the dishwasher. Insert the new WPW10327249 into the dishwasher, making sure it's securely positioned, and secure it with the mounting screws. Reconnect both water lines to the new valve. While you're in this area, it's worth inspecting the water supply adapter for wear, since it's a related part in the same location that's easy to check while everything is already accessible. Turn the water supply back on and plug the dishwasher back into the power source. Run a test cycle to confirm the dishwasher fills correctly with no leaks. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, standard pliers, adjustable wrench, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My dishwasher isn't filling with water at all. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the dishwasher, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Should I check or replace the water supply adapter while I have the dishwasher open?
It's a reasonable idea, since the water supply adapter is a related component located in the same general area and is easy to inspect while you already have access. It doesn't need to be replaced automatically, but checking its condition at the same time can save you from needing to open the dishwasher back up again soon after if it's also showing wear.
My dishwasher is leaking near the valve. Could hard water be a factor?
Yes, mineral and sediment buildup from hard water is a common contributor to valve failure over time, since it interferes with the valve's ability to seal and shut off properly. Using a dishwasher cleaner periodically to help reduce limescale buildup can support the longevity of the new valve, though it isn't a substitute for replacing a valve that has already failed.
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 connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your dishwasher.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Use A Putty Knife To Release The Control Panel Disconnect power at the outlet, or shut off the house circuit breaker for the appliance, and shut off both hot and cold water supplies before beginning. Wear work gloves. The top control panel can be removed more easily by sliding a putty knife under the panel on each end to release the retaining clips, rather than removing the back panel first — one customer specifically noted this trick saved considerable time after trying the back-panel approach without success. With the panel released, locate the water inlet valve and photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector and the hot/cold water lines from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new W11210459 in the same position, reconnect the water lines and electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Reinstall the control panel. Restore the water supply and power, then run a full test cycle across a few temperature settings to confirm correct fill behavior with no leaking. Tools needed: multi-screwdriver, putty knife, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer isn't filling with water. Is this the right part?
Yes, this is the most direct symptom of a failed water inlet valve. Since this valve is what admits water from your household supply into the washer, a solenoid failure or internal blockage can prevent any water from entering at all, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
What's the easiest way to access the control panel for this repair?
Try sliding a putty knife under the panel at each end to release the retaining clips, rather than removing the back panel of the washer first.

No, these are two separate Whirlpool 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 Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original solenoid design, flow rate, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.
