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.

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 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve
The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This valve sits underneath the top panel, at the point where the cold water supply hose connects, and it's the gatekeeper for cold water entering the tub. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes the valve's solenoid to open, admitting water; once the correct level is reached, it closes again. This part controls the cold water side specifically — hot fills on these washers are governed by a separate valve.
Rated 12V and terminated with small male spade connectors, this valve measures approximately 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L, with a gray plastic and metal housing. Over time, rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body — a documented failure point on this platform — can prevent it from sealing fully, which lets water continue flowing even after the valve is told to close. A washer that keeps filling even while draining, or that leaks steadily at the cold connection, is a strong sign of exactly this kind of stuck-open valve failure. Other failure modes include a burned-out solenoid coil and general wear from age. It directly replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, and EAP12587936, and is also cross-referenced to the related 5221ER1003A part number.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve fixes LG and select Kenmore front-load washers where cold water won't fill, fills slowly, keeps filling continuously (even while draining), or leaks at the water connection. 12V cold water inlet valve, small male spade terminals, 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L. Replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, EAP12587936. Rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body is a documented cause of it sticking open — check for rust at the connection before you order.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't fill with cold water at the start of the cycle
Cold water fills much more slowly than it used to
Washer keeps filling continuously, even while water is simultaneously draining out
Water leaking steadily at the cold water connection point
Visible rust or mineral buildup around the valve body or connection
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
Water pooling underneath or behind the washer near the cold supply line
Cold wash or cold rinse cycles specifically affected while other cycles run fine

Note — cold side only: This is the cold water valve. Some LG front-load washers use a separate hot water valve for the hot supply connection — if hot water fills normally but cold does not, this valve is the correct part; if the issue affects both hot and cold fills, the problem may lie elsewhere in the fill circuit. This valve is specific to LG's front-load platform and is not intended for top-load washers. Always verify your full model number before ordering.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer and shut off the cold water supply valve before beginning. Wear work gloves. Pull the washer away from the wall for access. Unthread the cold water supply line from the back of the valve first — have a towel ready, since residual water will spill out. Unthread the two screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly underneath. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the spade terminal wire connectors from the old valve, remove its mounting screw or bracket, and pull the valve free. While it's out, inspect the area for rust or mineral scale, and clean the connection point if needed before installing the new valve. Install the new 5221ER1003S in the same position, reconnect the spade terminals, and secure the mounting hardware. Rethread the cold water supply line onto the new valve, tightening securely. Reinstall the top panel and its two screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: channellock pliers, flathead screwdriver, pliers, drill/driver with a Phillips bit, towel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer keeps filling even while it's draining. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a well-documented failure mode on this platform. Rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body can prevent it from sealing fully closed, so water keeps trickling or flowing into the tub even after the fill portion of the cycle has ended — sometimes enough to keep pace with draining, making it look like the washer is filling and draining simultaneously. If you open up the top panel and see rust around the valve, that strongly confirms this diagnosis.
Cold water won't fill but hot water works fine. Is this the right part?
Yes — this valve controls cold water specifically, and some LG front-load washers use a separate valve for the hot supply. If cold-specific cycles are failing while hot water fills normally, this cold valve is the correct part to replace.
I see rust on my old valve but it isn't leaking yet. Should I still replace it?
It's worth strongly considering. Rust and mineral buildup on this valve is a known precursor to it sticking partially open, which can lead to continuous filling, water waste, and potential water damage if it isn't caught. If you're already inspecting the area and see corrosion forming, replacing the valve proactively is often cheaper and easier than dealing with an active leak later.
What's the difference between 5221ER1003S and 5221ER1003A?
These are cross-referenced as the same valve — 5221ER1003A appears on some parts diagrams and listings as an alternate or prior designation for the identical part. If your washer's diagram shows either number, this listing is the correct replacement.
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 to match the 12V solenoid design, spade terminal connections, and dimensions of the original 5221ER1003S cold water valve used in compatible LG and Kenmore front-load washers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug The Unit 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 the valve on combo units typically requires removing a front or rear access panel — check your model's service diagram, since access varies more on combo units than on standalone washers. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. 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 WH13X10031 in the same position, reconnect all hose connections to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply lines, tightening securely. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle to confirm the washer side fills correctly with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the right valve for my standalone washer, or only for a combo unit?
This valve is designed specifically for GE washer/dryer combo units, where the washer and dryer are built into a single appliance. If you have a standalone washer, this is not the correct valve — GE uses several other similarly-numbered valves, such as WH13X10015, WH13X10030, WH13X10033, and WH13X10037, for standalone top-load and front-load washers. Confirm your unit type and model number before ordering.
Water keeps entering my machine even when it's off. Is this the valve?
Yes, this is a documented symptom of a failing water inlet valve. If the internal solenoid is stuck open or has worn out, water can continue to flow into the machine even after it's been turned off, since the valve can no longer fully seal.
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 voltage rating, solenoid design, and connection type of the original WH13X10031 valve used in compatible GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore washer/dryer combo units.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning any repair. Have towels and a shallow pan ready to catch residual water. For top-load GE washers, the drain pump is typically accessed from the bottom of the machine — carefully tilt the washer back onto a support or lay it on its side to reach the pump from underneath. Disconnect the outlet hose by loosening the hose clamp and pulling it free. Disconnect the electrical harness connector. Remove the mounting screws (typically three) securing the pump to the washer base. Twist and firmly pull the old pump out. Install the new WH23X28418 pump in reverse order — connect the hose, tighten the clamp, reconnect the harness, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and water supply and run a test cycle to verify proper drainage and no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, slip-joint pliers, shallow pan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between WH23X28418, WH23X24178, and WH23X27574?
All three are GE washer drain pumps — WH23X28418 is the current updated part number that replaced both the discontinued WH23X24178 and WH23X27574. GE redesigned the pump motor during its production cycle, so the replacement may look slightly different from the original, but it fits and functions identically. If your washer uses either of the older numbers, order WH23X28418.
How do I know if my washer drain pump has failed?
The most common signs are standing water in the tub after a cycle, the washer stopping mid-cycle with a drain error, or loud humming during the drain phase — which indicates the motor is running but the impeller is not moving. A grinding or rattling noise suggests debris in the pump or physical damage. If the pump is completely silent during what should be the drain cycle, the motor has likely burned out and the pump needs replacement.
Does the WH23X28418 fit both top-load and front-load GE washers?
The WH23X28418 is primarily used in GE and Hotpoint top-load washers — the GTW and HTW series make up the majority of compatible models. It also fits select GE front-load models. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility for your washer type.
What is the duty cycle rating and why does it matter?
The duty cycle of 10 minutes on / 50 minutes off means the pump motor is rated for up to 10 consecutive minutes of operation before requiring a 50-minute rest period. In normal washer operation this is never an issue — drain cycles are brief. However, if a drain fault causes the pump to run continuously without successfully draining, the motor can overheat. If you replace the pump due to burnout and the new pump also fails quickly, check for a drain hose blockage or control board fault that may be causing the pump to run without limit.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications — the exact same drain pump and motor assembly installed in compatible models from the factory, with guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

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.

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.

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power Before Installing Unplug the refrigerator and remove any food that could spoil. Remove the evaporator cover and check that the defrost heater and defrost sensor work, because a failed heater or sensor will cause the drain to freeze again. Take care when moving the evaporator and drain plate, because damage to the evaporator coil can ruin the sealed system. Fit the new drain tube and foam seals, put the cover back, and fully thaw any ice in the drain before you restore power. Reviewers suggest having Phillips and flat-head screwdrivers and pliers on hand and consulting your model's service manual.
