WPW10327249 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve
The WPW10327249 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag dishwashers, mounted on the right-hand side of the dishwasher's interior behind the front kick plate. This valve regulates the flow of water into the appliance during each cycle, opening to admit water from the household supply and closing once the correct amount has entered, which is essential to proper filling and efficient operation.
Over time, mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, or general electrical wear in the solenoid, can cause the valve to fail. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the dishwasher not filling with water at all, water filling inconsistently or too slowly, leaking, or overfilling. It directly replaces AP6019618, W10316814, W10327249, W11130743, WPW10327249VP, 3015511, PS11752927, and W11669945.
Quick Answer
The WPW10327249 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Valve fixes Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Maytag dishwashers that won't fill with water, fill inconsistently, leak, or overfill.

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.

AJU75152606 Genuine OEM LG Washer Water Inlet Valve Assembly
The AJU75152606 is a genuine LG OEM water inlet valve assembly for LG top-load agitator washing machines. This assembly connects to the washer's hot and cold water supply and controls the flow of water into the tub during the fill portion of the wash and rinse cycles — electrical signals from the control system open and close the appropriate water passage, filling the tub to the correct level and shutting off once it's reached.
This electric-powered valve assembly is finished in gray, designed for freestanding installation, and rated for an 8 lb capacity washer. Common causes of failure include mineral buildup or debris restricting flow through the valve, or general electrical wear in the solenoid coils. Symptoms of a failing valve include the washer not filling with water, hose leaks at the connections, the valve not opening fully, or reduced flow rate from internal buildup. Replacing this assembly requires removing the control panel and main top of the washer — a moderate difficulty repair. It directly replaces AP7005965.
Quick Answer

Restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the washer fills correctly with no leaking at the hose connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, 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, mineral buildup, or debris can prevent water from entering properly, stopping the wash cycle from proceeding.
Is this the same as AJU75152602?
No, these are two separate LG valve part numbers used on different washer model series, 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 a difficult repair?
It's a moderate difficulty repair, since it requires removing the washer's control panel and main top to access the valve. Basic hand tools are sufficient, but budget more time than you would for a simpler part swap.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by LG 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.

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.
Quick Answer
The W11688995 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) fixes Whirlpool-built front-load washers where cold water won't fill, fills slowly, overfills, leaks into the drum when off, or throws an F8 E1 or LO FL error code. 120V, 50/60Hz, two-coil cold-only valve, 1/2" NPT threaded connections. Replaces W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, PS17216730, EAP17216730. This is the cold-side valve only — the companion hot-side valve is sold separately as W11688994.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer won't fill with cold water while hot water fills normally
Cold water fills much more slowly than it used to
Washer overfills or takes on more water than the cycle calls for
Water trickling or leaking into the drum on the cold side when the washer is off
F8 E1 or LO FL error code displayed on the control panel
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
Cold-wash or cold-rinse cycles specifically affected while warm/hot cycles run fine
Water pooling underneath or behind the washer near the cold supply connection

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.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Have A Towel Ready Unplug the washer or shut off its circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. 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.

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

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

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

XPARTCO WH13X10031 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO WH13X10031 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for GE washer/dryer combo units, and also fits select Hotpoint and Kenmore combo models. This valve controls the flow of water into the washer side of the combination unit, opening to admit hot and cold water as the cycle calls for it and closing once the correct fill level is reached. Made of durable metal construction for long-term reliability.
Rated 115V. 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 clear set of symptoms: the washer side not filling properly, water continuing to enter the machine even when it's turned off, or leaking near the valve connections.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO WH13X10031 Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes GE washer/dryer combo units (and select Hotpoint and Kenmore combo models) that aren't filling properly, or where water continues entering the machine even when it's turned off. 115V, metal construction. This is a combo washer/dryer unit valve — a different application from a standalone top-load or front-load washer valve. Confirm your unit type before ordering.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer side of the combo unit not filling with water properly
Water continuing to enter the machine even when it's turned off
Leaking near the valve connections
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub

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.

W11168743 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Hot Water Inlet Valve
The W11168743 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM hot water inlet valve for Whirlpool top-load washers. This is a single-solenoid valve dedicated specifically to hot water, with a standard hose fitting inlet and one water outlet. When the wash cycle calls for hot water, the valve's solenoid opens to admit it from your home's hot water supply line; once the correct fill level is reached, it closes again.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. Common causes of failure include wear and tear over time, clogging from mineral deposits or sediment in the water supply, and electrical faults that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly. A failing hot water valve typically shows up as the washer not filling properly or not filling at all, slow or irregular water flow even when the inlet screens are clear of obstruction, no hot water reaching the tub, or water dripping inside the tub when the washer isn't running. It directly replaces AP6327638, WPW10240948, W10240948, 4585634, PS12348074, W10921515, and 33390068.
Quick Answer
The W11168743 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Hot Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool top-load washers (and select Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Roper, and Kenmore washers) that won't fill, fill slowly, have no hot water reaching the tub, or leak water inside the drum when not running. 1-solenoid, 1-inlet, 1-outlet hot water valve. 120V, 60Hz.

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

XPARTCO W11210459 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO W11210459 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper top-load washers in the WTW4xxx, WTW5xxx, MVWC4xx, MVWC5xx, NTW, and related series. The water inlet valve is a solenoid-operated valve mounted on the back of the washer that controls the flow of water from the household supply lines into the washer tub. When the control board calls for water during a fill or rinse cycle, it energizes the valve's solenoid coil to open the valve and allow water to flow in. When the correct water level is reached, the solenoid de-energizes and the valve closes.
When the water inlet valve fails, the washer may not fill with water at all, fill too slowly, fill with an incorrect temperature, overfill, or drip water into the tub when it should be closed. This valve assembly directly replaces W10701459, W10838319, W10869799, W11025984, W11038711, W11210459VP, AP6329217, and PS12349267. Installs in 15–20 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 is mounted on the upper rear of the washer — the external supply hoses connect to the inlet ports and internal hoses route water into the tub. Photograph all wire harness connections and hose routing before disconnecting anything. Use pliers to loosen the hose clamps and disconnect the internal hoses. Unscrew the mounting screws holding the valve to the washer cabinet and disconnect the wire harness. Remove the old valve and install the new W11210459 in the same position. Reconnect the wire harness, internal hoses with clamps, and mounting screws. Reconnect the external supply hoses, restore water and power, then run a fill cycle and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the W11210459 and the W10683603 water inlet valves?
Both are Whirlpool-platform top-load washer water inlet valves, but they are different assemblies for different model generations and are not interchangeable. The W10683603 (WPW10683603) is a larger dual-valve assembly with an integrated thermistor and vacuum break, used on older Whirlpool-family top-load models. The W11210459 is a newer valve assembly used on more recent Whirlpool WTW4xxx/WTW5xxx and Maytag MVWC series top-load washers. Always use your specific model number to confirm which valve is correct for your washer before ordering.
How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed?
Common signs of a failed water inlet valve are the washer not filling with water, filling very slowly, filling only on one temperature setting, overfilling, or water dripping into the tub when the washer is off. You can test the valve's solenoid coils with a multimeter — each coil should show a resistance reading (typically 200–500 ohms) rather than open circuit. A coil reading open circuit has failed. Before testing the valve, check that the household water supply is fully open, the fill hoses are not kinked, and the inlet screens inside the valve ports are not clogged with mineral deposits.
What are the small screens inside the valve inlet ports for?
The small mesh screens inside the hot and cold water inlet ports of the valve are sediment filters that prevent mineral deposits and debris from the household water supply from reaching the valve seats and solenoid mechanisms. Over time — especially in areas with hard water — these screens can become clogged with mineral buildup and restrict water flow, causing the same slow-fill symptoms as a failed valve. Before replacing the valve, remove and inspect the inlet screens. If they are clogged, clean them with a soft brush and white vinegar or replace them. If cleaning the screens does not restore normal fill speed, the valve itself needs replacement.
My washer fills with only cold water — is the water inlet valve the cause?
Filling with only cold water when a warm or hot cycle is selected usually points to the hot water solenoid coil having failed. Each solenoid controls one temperature port independently — a failed hot coil means only the cold port opens. Test both solenoid coils with a multimeter as described above. Also check that your household hot water supply valve is fully open and that hot water is reaching the back of the washer in the supply hose before assuming the valve has failed.
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 specifications and performance of the original W11210459 water inlet valve assembly.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power And Water Before Installing Unplug the washer and turn off the water supply before you begin, and wear work gloves. Pull the washer out from the wall and drain the hoses into a bucket. Detach the hot and cold hoses, remove the screws holding the valve bracket, and disconnect the wires from the valve's five terminals, noting where each goes. Fit the new valve, reconnect the wires and hoses (hand-tighten, then add about two-thirds of a turn with pliers), turn the water on and check for leaks, then plug in the washer and run a test cycle.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer won't fill or fills slowly. Is this the part I need?
It can be. Check that both water supplies are on and the hose screens are clear first, since a blockage causes the same symptom. If those are fine, the inlet valve may be clogged or faulty.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from Samsung, not an aftermarket equivalent.

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.

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 routing before disconnecting. Disconnect the two external supply hoses from the valve inlet ports using pliers to loosen any stuck connections. Disconnect the internal outlet hoses by squeezing the retaining clips and pulling free. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from all solenoid coils and the thermistor. Unscrew the mounting hardware and remove the old valve. Install the new W11165546 valve in the same position, reconnect all internal hoses, wire harnesses, and external supply hoses in the same positions as documented. Restore water supply and power, then run a fill cycle to verify normal filling and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, channel-lock pliers for stubborn hose connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do error codes F8E1, LF, and LO FL mean on Maytag and Whirlpool washers?
F8E1 (also displayed as LF or LO FL on some models) indicates a long fill fault — the washer was unable to fill to the required water level within the expected time. The most common causes are a failed water inlet valve (solenoid coil burned out or valve seat clogged), low household water pressure, or kinked supply hoses. Before replacing the valve, confirm both supply valves are fully open, the supply hoses are not kinked, and household water pressure is adequate. If all supply conditions are good and the error persists, the water inlet valve is the most likely cause.
What is the difference between W11165546 and W11096267?
These are the same water inlet valve assembly. W11096267 was an earlier version, and W11165546 is the current updated part number. The W10599423 and W10758828 are also cross-references to earlier versions of this same valve. The W11165546VP is the Whirlpool factory-packaged version. All of these are covered by this aftermarket replacement.
Why does this valve have 4 solenoids?
Modern HE top-load washers like the Maytag Bravos XL and Whirlpool Cabrio use multiple water paths for different wash functions — hot water inlet, cold water inlet, a bleach dispenser port, and a fabric softener/recirculation port. Each path is controlled by its own independent solenoid coil on the same valve assembly. This allows the control board to independently open any combination of ports needed for a given cycle phase. When any single solenoid coil fails, only the function controlled by that coil is affected — which is why the washer might fill normally with cold water but not hot, or fail to activate only one dispenser.
Does the valve color (blue vs green) matter?
No — the blue and green valve body colors are simply the result of different production runs at the factory. Both colors are the same part number (W11165546) with identical electrical specifications, port configuration, thermistor, and dimensions. Either color will function correctly in your washer. There is no functional difference between the two.
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 with 4 solenoid coils and an integrated thermistor to match the electrical specifications and port configuration of the original W11165546 water inlet valve assembly.
