W11670519 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Lid Lock Latch Assembly
The W11670519 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM lid lock latch assembly for Maytag top-load washers on the Cabrio-style MVW platform. Unlike a simple mechanical lid switch, this is a true electronic lid lock: a 3-wire connector feeds the assembly, which both senses whether the lid is closed and physically locks it shut once a cycle with spin is underway. The control won't allow the washer to spin — and on many cycles won't even let it start — until this assembly confirms the lid is closed and locked, which is why a failing latch produces such a wide range of symptoms: a washer that won't start, a lid that won't lock or won't release, cycles that stall or interrupt partway through, or a washer that fills and agitates but refuses to spin.
Built from high-strength, wear-resistant ABS and PP plastic with a precision locking mechanism, this assembly is designed to prevent the lid from popping open mid-spin, which protects against water leakage and the safety hazard of an open lid on a spinning basket. Common failure modes include a locking mechanism that has worn out and can no longer engage or release reliably, a broken internal switch that stops signaling lid status to the control board, and simple wear from years of daily cycling. It directly replaces W11368616, AP7214714, PD00085482, 4981394, PS17215992, and EAP17215992. As a genuine OEM part, the W11670519 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — If The Lid Is Locked Shut, Release It Manually First Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker before beginning. Wear work gloves. If the old latch has failed in the locked position and you can't open the lid, insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the lock mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide the mechanism back to release it — then prop the lid open so it can't re-close and re-lock while you work. Remove the two screws holding the top section (control panel, lid, and wash basket opening) and slide the top of the unit forward and up to remove it, then prop it securely (a sturdy support between the cabinet frame and the top panel works well) rather than relying on your hands to hold it up. With the top propped open, remove the plastic cowl that the lid latch sits inside, which also retains the lock mechanism. Unclip the wiring harness from the retaining clips running around the inside of the lid and let the assembly hang free. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting the 3-wire connector from the old assembly. At the back of the lid, two metal spring clips retain the mechanism — squeeze these with your fingers or a set of pliers to release the old assembly, then pop the new W11670519 into place the same way. Reconnect the 3-wire connector, reclip the wiring harness into its retaining clips, and reinstall the plastic cowl. Lower the top panel back into position, reinstall its retaining screws, and confirm the lid closes, latches, and locks correctly through a full test cycle including spin. Tools needed: small flathead screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, pliers, a sturdy prop for the top panel, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer fills and agitates but won't spin. Is this the lid lock?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of a failing lid lock latch on this platform. The control requires confirmation that the lid is closed and locked before it will allow the higher-speed, higher-torque spin cycle to run, even if it's willing to run the gentler fill and agitate steps without full confirmation. If your washer gets partway through a cycle and simply refuses to spin, this assembly is a strong suspect.
The lid keeps clicking but never actually locks. What does that mean?
A repeated clicking sound without the lid actually locking usually points to a worn or failing internal locking mechanism inside this assembly — it's attempting to engage but can't complete the lock reliably. This is a textbook symptom that this part has worn out and needs replacement.
My washer's lid is locked shut and won't open. How do I even get it open to do this repair?
With the washer unplugged, you can usually manually release the lock: insert a small flathead screwdriver into the latch opening where the mechanism engages through the lid, and gently slide it back to disengage the lock. Once the lid is open, prop it so it can't fall shut and re-lock while you continue the repair.
Is this the same part as the lid switches used on other Whirlpool washers?
No. This is an electronic locking latch assembly specific to the Maytag Cabrio-style MVW platform, and it works differently from the simpler mechanical lid switches used on other Whirlpool-family platforms, including the direct-drive top-load switch, the Whirlpool thin-twin switch, and various GE-platform switches we also carry. These parts are not interchangeable with each other — always match the assembly to your specific washer platform.
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 3-wire electrical connection, locking mechanism, and ABS/PP construction as the lid lock latch assembly originally installed in your Maytag Cabrio-style washer.

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.

Note: This is the hot water inlet valve (typically red). The matching cold water inlet valve is part number W11688995 (typically blue). 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. Important: if the washer has just been running a hot cycle, allow the hot supply hose and valve to cool before handling — hot water can scald. 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 hot valve is typically red. Disconnect the hot 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 W11688994 valve in the same position with the same orientation, reconnect the internal water hoses and electrical connector, and secure the mounting screw. Reconnect the hot supply hose at the wall, restore water and power, and run a test cycle on a hot or warm setting to confirm normal hot water fill with no leaks. Tip: while the top cover is off, this is the ideal time to also replace the cold water valve (W11688995) — 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
My washer isn't filling with hot water — is the hot valve the problem?
Likely, yes — that's the most common symptom of a failed hot water inlet valve. Before replacing, do a few quick checks: 1) confirm the hot water supply at the wall is turned on and your home actually has hot water at that connection (test the faucet nearby); 2) check the supply hose for kinks or pinches; 3) inspect the inlet screen on the back of the valve for sediment buildup — a clogged screen can mimic a failed valve. If the supply is good and the screen is clean, but the washer still won't get hot water, the W11688994 valve solenoid has likely failed and replacing it will resolve the issue.
My washer fills but my hot wash isn't actually hot — could it still be this valve?
Yes — when the hot inlet valve is partially failed (opening but not fully, or opening only briefly), the washer may complete its fill cycle by drawing extra cold water to compensate, but the resulting mix is much cooler than the selected wash temperature should be. If you've confirmed your home's hot water is hot, the supply hose is good, and you're still ending up with lukewarm "hot" washes, the hot valve is a likely cause. Replacing it restores proper hot water delivery and accurate wash temperatures.
Should I replace the cold water valve at the same time?
Yes, it's strongly recommended. The hot and cold 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 cold water valve is part number W11688995 (blue, sold separately) and is also available as a paired kit.
My washer is dripping water into the tub even when it's off — could the hot valve be the cause?
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 cold water supply at the wall and check if dripping continues. If it stops, the cold valve is at fault; if it continues, this hot valve is the cause. Replacing the W11688994 will resolve a leaking hot 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 W11688994 hot water inlet valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, and Kenmore front-load 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 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.

WH23X29538 (OE) Washer Water Valve
The WH23X29538 is an OE (Original Equipment) water inlet valve for GE front-load washers. This valve regulates the flow of water into the wash tub from the household supply line, with two water inlets (each with its own filter), four solenoid coils, and five water outlets working together to precisely control flow, temperature blending, and fill level throughout the cycle.
Rated 120V, 60Hz. Built with a stainless steel-reinforced, high-quality ABS plastic body for corrosion resistance and long-term sealing. Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body and general electrical wear in the solenoid coils. A failing valve produces a range of symptoms: leaking or overflowing water, slow or irregular water filling, the washer filling non-stop or not filling at all, incorrect water temperature, or unusual noise during the fill cycle. It directly replaces WH23X29538, C-163/21-A13, 33090201, PD00071094, EAP16217225, AP6990115, AGE26158, PS16217225.
Quick Answer
The WH23X29538 (OE) Washer Water Valve fixes GE front-load washers with water leaking or overflowing, slow or irregular filling, non-stop filling, no water filling at all, incorrect water temperature, or unusual fill-cycle noise. 120V, 60Hz, 2 inlets with filters, 4 solenoid coils, 5 outlets.

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

XPARTCO 4681EA2001T Washer Drain Pump Motor
The XPARTCO 4681EA2001T is an aftermarket replacement drain pump motor assembly compatible with a wide range of LG and Kenmore front-load washers. The drain pump motor forces water out of the washer drum through the drain hose during and after the wash and spin cycles — when it fails, the washer will not drain, will display an OE error code, leave standing water in the drum, or produce a loud humming or grinding noise during the drain phase.
This drain pump motor is rated at 120V–127V, 60Hz, 85W, 1.4A with a flow rate of 45 liters per minute and a spin speed of 1,100–1,200 RPM.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer and Shut Off Water Before Starting Disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning any repair. Place towels and a shallow pan at the front of the washer to catch residual water. Open the small access panel at the lower front of the washer and drain any remaining water through the drain hose or filter port. Remove the front panel of the washer by unscrewing the top panel screws, then removing the door gasket retaining wire and door latch screws to free the front panel. With the front panel removed, the drain pump assembly is now visible at the lower front. Use a flat-head screwdriver to release the pump mounting clip, then disconnect the drain hoses using pliers to loosen the clamps. Disconnect the wire harness from the pump motor. Pull the motor assembly out of the pump housing. Install the new 4681EA2001T motor into the existing housing, reconnect the hoses and wire harness, secure the pump clip, and reassemble the front panel. Restore power and water supply, then run a drain/spin cycle to verify proper drainage. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, flat-head screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, slip-joint pliers, shallow pan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 4681EA2001T and 4681EA2001N?
These are the same drain pump motor — 4681EA2001T is the updated current part number that replaced the older 4681EA2001N. LG issued the updated number during a production cycle revision. If your washer or its documentation shows 4681EA2001N, 4681EA2001D, or any other older variant, the 4681EA2001T is the correct replacement to order.
What does the OE error code mean on an LG washer?
OE (or OE error) stands for "Outlet Error" — it means the washer was unable to drain within the expected time. Common causes include a clogged drain filter, a blocked or kinked drain hose, or a failed drain pump motor. Before replacing the motor, check and clean the drain filter and inspect the drain hose for kinks or blockages. If both are clear and the washer still shows OE, the pump motor has likely failed and needs replacement.
Does this include the pump housing?
No — the 4681EA2001T is the motor assembly only. It installs into your washer's existing pump housing, which is not included and does not need to be replaced in most cases. If your pump housing is cracked or damaged, you will need to source it separately. In most repairs, the housing is reused and only the motor assembly is replaced.
Should I check the drain filter before replacing the pump motor?
Yes — always check and clean the drain filter first. LG front-load washers have a coin trap and filter at the lower front that should be cleaned regularly. A heavily clogged filter or a foreign object jammed in the impeller can cause OE errors and loud humming without the pump motor being permanently damaged. Remove the filter, clear debris from the impeller area, and test the washer. If the problem persists after cleaning, the motor is the likely culprit.
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 durable metal and ABS plastic to match the electrical specifications and performance of the original 4681EA2001T drain pump motor assembly.

XPARTCO WH01X29528 Washer Door Lock
The XPARTCO WH01X29528 is an aftermarket replacement door lock assembly compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Monogram front-load washing machines — as well as select GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer units. The door lock is a safety mechanism mounted at the front of the washer where the door closes — it automatically engages when the door is shut, securing it closed for the entire wash and spin cycle so water and detergent can't spill out and cause injury. It also signals the control board that the door is safely locked, which is what allows the washer to start filling and running. When the door lock fails, the washer typically won't start, won't lock the door, stops mid-cycle, or throws a door-related error code.
Rated 120 VAC, 60Hz, 16A. Failure usually comes from physical damage or normal wear over time. As a direct replacement for the GE WH01X29528, it also replaces AP6985313, EAP12749276, PS12749276, PD00060769, and 4958749 (additional production markings: ITW 12070-71, V13305, 0024000128GE). Installation is straightforward with no wiring modifications — remove the old lock and install the new one, typically in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer door — if the door is stuck locked because of a failed lock, you may need to access the manual release. Peel back the rubber door boot/gasket from the front panel edge near the lock to expose the door lock assembly — on some models this requires releasing the spring-loaded wire clamp that secures the boot with needle-nose pliers. Photograph the wire harness connection before disconnecting anything. Remove the mounting screws holding the door lock assembly to the front panel. Reach in and pull the assembly out through the door opening far enough to access the wire connector. Disconnect the wire harness plug from the old assembly (no wiring modifications are needed — it's a direct plug connection). Snap the new WH01X29528 assembly onto the wire harness plug until it clicks firmly, position it in the front panel opening, and secure it with the mounting screws. Press the rubber door boot back into its groove and reinstall the spring-loaded wire clamp if applicable. Restore power and test by closing the door and starting a cycle — confirm the door locks, the washer runs, and the door unlocks at the end. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My GE washer won't start and shows a door error — is this the part?
Very likely, yes. GE front-load washers won't start unless the control board receives confirmation from the door lock that the door is closed and locked — it's a safety interlock. When the door lock fails, the washer either won't lock the door, won't start, or displays a door-related message on the panel. If your door appears to close normally but the washer won't begin the cycle (or stops shortly after starting), the door lock is the most common cause. Replacing the WH01X29528 typically resolves it. If you've already replaced the door lock and the problem persists, the issue may be the main control board instead.
I replaced the door lock and it worked briefly, then failed again — what's wrong?
If a new door lock works for a short time (seconds to minutes) and then the washer goes back to showing a door error, the problem may not be the lock itself but the main control board that powers and monitors it. A control board with a failing door-lock circuit can damage or fail to properly drive the lock, causing repeated symptoms even after replacing the lock. Some customers report an electrical smell or humming from the lock in these cases. If you've replaced the door lock (especially more than once) and the door error returns, the main control board is the next component to investigate. Contact our support team with your model number for the correct control board part.
Does this fit the GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer?
Yes — the WH01X29528 is used on select GE UltraFast 2-in-1 combo washer/dryer units (such as the PFQ97HSPV0DS) in addition to standalone GE front-load washers. The combo units use the same door lock design as the front-load washers in the GFW/PFW families. As always, confirm your specific model number against the compatibility list before ordering, since GE uses different door locks across different washer generations.
How do I open the door if it's stuck locked and the washer won't run?
If the door is stuck in the locked position because of a failed lock, first make sure there's no water in the drum (run or complete a drain cycle if possible). Then unplug the washer and wait a few minutes — some GE models release the lock after power is removed. If it's still stuck, most front-load washers have a manual release mechanism accessible from behind the lower kick panel at the front of the machine — a tab or cord you pull to manually disengage the lock. Consult your model's manual for the manual release location. Once the door is open, you can proceed with replacing the lock.
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 from durable, moisture-resistant materials to match the electrical specifications (120 VAC, 60Hz, 16A), connector configuration, mounting, and door-locking function of the original WH01X29528 door lock used in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, and related front-load washers and combo units.

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. The included bracket may be shaped differently than your original integrated bracket — you may need to test a couple of orientations to get the hose connections positioned correctly.

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.
