XPARTCO W11688994 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Hot) The XPARTCO W11688994 is an aftermarket replacement hot water inlet valve compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The hot water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the hot water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for hot water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting hot 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 hot water at all, fill very slowly with hot water, fail to deliver hot or warm wash temperatures (even when selected), continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display fill-related error codes. Construction is red and white plastic with a 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 W11688994, W11036928, W11316255, W11486360, and AP7218602. Often replaced as a pair with the cold water inlet valve (W11688995, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W11688994 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Hot) fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore front-load washers that aren't filling with hot water, fill slowly with hot water, can't reach hot or warm wash temperatures, or have continuous water dripping into the tub when off.

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.

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.

XPARTCO WH13X10014 Washer Water Inlet Valve The XPARTCO WH13X10014 is an aftermarket replacement water inlet valve for GE washer/dryer combination units — a single cabinet that houses both wash and dry functions and shares one door, lid, and control system for both. This valve sits at the point where the hot and cold water supply lines connect, and it's the gatekeeper for every drop of water that enters the tub during the wash portion of a cycle. When the control calls for a fill, the valve's solenoid opens to admit water; once the correct level is reached, it closes again. Common causes of failure include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body that prevents it from sealing fully, and a burned-out internal solenoid coil. A failing valve on a combo unit produces the same core symptoms you'd see on a standalone washer: the wash side won't fill, fills too slowly, won't stop filling, or leaks after the cycle ends — but because a combo unit shares more components in a single cabinet than separate machines do, it's worth confirming the water issue is isolated to the valve and not connected to other combo-specific parts nearby, such as our WH12X955 lid switch listing, which serves this same GE combo platform. It directly replaces WH13X0084, WH13X10013, WH13X84, AP3203931, and 944040. Quick Answer The XPARTCO WH13X10014 Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes GE washer/dryer combo units that won't fill with water, fill slowly, won't stop filling, or leak after the cycle ends. For GE's combination washer/dryer platform (WSM2420/WSM2480 series). Replaces WH13X0084, WH13X10013, WH13X84, AP3203931, 944040. This valve is specific to GE's washer/dryer combo unit — not a standalone front-load or top-load washer valve. Common Problems This Part Fixes Washer/dryer combo won't fill with water at the start of the wash cycle Water fills much more slowly than normal Unit won't stop filling — water continues past the normal level Water leaking or dripping after the cycle has ended Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub Unit not washing properly due to insufficient or incorrect-temperature water Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. On these combination units, the top of the cabinet often lifts off or opens as a single enclosure covering both the wash and dry sections, which also carries the lid switch wiring — note this connector's location before pulling the panel free. Disconnect the hot and cold water supply hoses from the back of the valve, keeping a towel handy for residual water. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Install the new WH13X10014 in the same position, reconnect the electrical connector fully, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the correct ports, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the cabinet enclosure, reconnecting the lid switch harness if it was disturbed, restore the water supply, and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm the wash side fills at the normal rate with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, towel, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Is this the same valve used on a standalone GE washer? No. This valve is built specifically for GE's washer/dryer combination units, which share a single cabinet and control system for both wash and dry functions. GE's standalone front-load washers use a different valve (such as our WH13X10029 listing), and the two are not interchangeable. Always confirm whether your appliance is a combo unit or a standalone washer before ordering. My unit 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 can fail to close fully, letting water continue flowing even after the correct fill level is reached. Since this could lead to overflow, it's worth shutting off the water supply at the wall if you notice this happening rather than waiting to address it. Only hot or only cold water isn't coming in. Do I need the whole valve? Usually yes. Most washer inlet valves use two separate solenoid coils in one housing — one for hot, one for cold — but they're not typically sold or serviced as separately replaceable coils. If just one side has stopped working while the other functions normally, that still points to a failure inside this valve assembly, and replacing the complete unit is the standard repair. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine GE OEM part, but is manufactured to match the solenoid design, connection type, and mounting configuration of the original WH13X10014 valve used in compatible GE washer/dryer combination units.

W11434044 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve The W11434044 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement dishwasher water inlet valve assembly compatible with a wide range of Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Kenmore, Amana, Roper, Admiral, Estate, Crosley, Inglis, Ikea, Hardwick, Magic Chef, Norge, Modern Maid, and Caloric dishwashers. The water inlet valve is mounted at the base of the dishwasher and connects to the household cold water supply line. When the control board calls for water during the fill cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, allowing water to flow into the tub. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely when the correct water level is reached. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, the dishwasher can't get water into the tub — meaning it can't wash, rinse, or complete a cycle. Rated 120V AC, 50/60Hz, 6/5W. Approximate dimensions: 2.9" H x 2.3" W with a 0.9" threaded orifice for the water supply connection. The package includes the water inlet valve, water outlet pipe (inlet hose), and two hose clamps — everything needed for the connection between the valve and the dishwasher's water divider. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications, the W11434044 directly replaces W11187724, W11025972, W11025970, AWP44732, AP6987233, and PS16217908. Important: the water inlet connection uses plastic threads, which are easily damaged by over-tightening or cross-threading — hand-tighten the water line carefully during installation. Installs in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The W11434044 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, and Kenmore dishwashers that aren't filling with water, fill slowly, aren't washing properly, drain immediately after filling, or leak at the valve. 120V AC, 50/60Hz, 6/5W.

Wear work gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes. Have towels ready — residual water remains in the supply line and will spill when disconnected. Critical: the W11434044's water supply connection uses plastic threads. Multiple installers have reported stripping the plastic threads by over-tightening or cross-threading the water line during installation — always hand-tighten the fitting carefully and align the threads squarely before tightening. If your dishwasher is installed under a counter, working through the lower access panel is possible but tight — many installers find it easier to pull the dishwasher partially out from the cabinet, or lay it on its side, to reach the inlet connection cleanly (this also lets you use a 90-degree hose fitting without cross-threading). Remove the lower access panel (typically 2 screws) at the front bottom of the dishwasher. Locate the water inlet valve. Photograph the wire harness and hose connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the household water supply line from the valve. Squeeze the hose clamps with pliers and slide them back to release the outlet hose from the valve, then disconnect the wire harness plug. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve in place. Install the new W11434044 valve, secure the mounting hardware, and reconnect the outlet hose and hose clamps. Push the electrical connector's fixing plate firmly into place before connecting the wire harness plug — this prevents the connector from falling out during operation. Reconnect the household water supply — hand-tighten the fitting carefully to avoid stripping the plastic threads. Restore water and power. Run a test cycle and check for leaks at all connections. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench (used lightly on plastic threads only!), channel-lock pliers, work gloves, safety glasses. Frequently Asked Questions My dishwasher isn't filling with water — is the inlet valve the problem? Very likely, yes — that's the most common symptom of a failed dishwasher water inlet valve. Before replacing, do a few quick checks: 1) confirm the household water supply to the dishwasher is turned on at the shutoff valve; 2) check the household water pressure at a nearby fixture (a nearby faucet) to make sure your home has normal pressure; 3) inspect the inlet screen on 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 dishwasher still won't fill, the W11434044 valve solenoid has likely failed and replacing it will resolve the issue. You can also test the solenoid with a multimeter — no continuity means the solenoid has burned out. What is the difference between W11434044 and W11025970/W11025972/W11187724? These are the same water inlet valve across production revisions. W11025970 was the original OEM part number, W11025972 and W11187724 were mid-generation revisions, and W11434044 is the current OEM production version. All are physically and functionally interchangeable — if your dishwasher's parts diagram or the part on your appliance shows any of these numbers, the W11434044 is the correct current replacement, and this listing covers all of them. Why is over-tightening the water line connection such a common issue? The water supply inlet on the W11434044 has plastic threads to reduce cost and simplify manufacturing — but plastic threads are much less forgiving than brass or metal fittings. Cross-threading (starting the fitting at an angle instead of straight-in) or applying too much torque with a wrench will strip the plastic threads or split the fitting. Always align the water line fitting carefully by hand first, get several turns of engagement before applying any tool, and use only enough torque to snug the connection (typically hand-tight plus a very light quarter-turn with a wrench). If the threads are already stripped, the valve or a replacement plastic fitting will need to be ordered — the connection can't be repaired. Should I lay the dishwasher on its side for this repair? If you're finding it difficult to reach the water inlet connection cleanly through the lower access panel — which is a common complaint from installers — laying the dishwasher on its side (or pulling it partially out from the cabinet) makes the connection much easier to work with. This is especially helpful if your water supply line uses a 90-degree hose fitting that needs a straight approach for correct thread engagement. Before laying the dishwasher down, disconnect all connections and drain any residual water from the tub to avoid spills. Note that if the door has been damaged or bent, laying the unit on its side can worsen the damage — inspect first. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same water inlet valve installed in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, JennAir, Kenmore, Amana, and related Whirlpool-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

W11645245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Valve The W11645245 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM dual water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built refrigerators. Mounted at the rear of the refrigerator where the household water line connects, this single valve is the central control point for water flow to two separate features: the ice maker and the door-mounted water dispenser. When either feature calls for water, this valve's solenoids open to admit it and close again once the request is satisfied — since one valve handles both jobs, a failure here can affect the ice maker, the dispenser, or both at the same time. Common causes of failure include mineral and sediment buildup from the household water supply interfering with the valve's internal operation over time, and electrical faults either in the valve itself or in the refrigerator's electronic control board that signals it. A failing dual water valve produces a recognizable set of symptoms: the door dispenser stops delivering water, the ice maker slows down, stops producing ice, or fails intermittently, water leaking around the valve area, or an audible electronic buzzing or humming sound coming from the back of the refrigerator. It directly replaces AP7208917, W11546685, W11446818, W11563296, and PS16875686. As a genuine OEM part, the W11645245 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. Quick Answer The W11645245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Valve fixes Whirlpool-built refrigerators where the door water dispenser stops working, the ice maker slows down or stops making ice, there's a leak near the valve at the back of the refrigerator, or you hear an electronic buzzing or humming sound. Controls water flow to both the ice maker and water dispenser from a single valve. Replaces AP7208917, W11546685, W11446818, W11563296, PS16875686. Before replacing, rule out a simple mineral clog and a faulty control board signal — both can produce identical symptoms to a failed valve. Common Problems This Part Fixes Water dispenser on the refrigerator door has stopped working Ice maker has slowed down, stopped producing ice, or is malfunctioning intermittently Both the ice maker and water dispenser affected at the same time Water leaking around the valve area at the back of the refrigerator Electronic buzzing or humming sound coming from behind the refrigerator Reduced water flow or pressure at the dispenser Valve that hums but doesn't appear to be passing water through Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models.

Wear work gloves. Pull the refrigerator away from the wall for access, then locate the valve at the rear or bottom of the cabinet where the water supply line connects. Have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out when you disconnect the line. Photograph the wiring and water line connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the water supply line 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 W11645245 in the same position, secure the mounting screws, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings. Restore the water supply and check the connection for leaks before restoring power. Push the refrigerator back into place, then test both the ice maker and water dispenser over the next day to confirm normal operation has returned. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, adjustable wrench or pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions My dispenser stopped working but the ice maker still works. Is this the right part? It's possible, but worth checking a couple of things first, since this valve serves both features from one unit. Confirm the water supply line isn't kinked or restricted, and check the inline water filter for a clog, since a blocked filter can starve the dispenser specifically while the ice maker (which may draw from a different point in the flow path depending on your model) keeps working. If the filter and supply line are clear and the dispenser still won't deliver water, the valve itself is the likely cause. I hear a buzzing or humming sound from the back of the fridge. What does that mean? This is a common symptom of a valve that's receiving an electrical signal to open but isn't passing water through correctly — the solenoid coil energizes and hums, but water flow is restricted or absent, often due to internal mineral buildup or a failing internal mechanism. If you hear this sound whenever the ice maker or dispenser is called on, the valve is a strong suspect. Could the problem actually be my water filter instead of this valve? Yes, it's worth ruling out first. A clogged inline water filter can produce very similar symptoms to a failing valve — reduced dispenser flow, slow ice production, or both. Try replacing the water filter first if it's been a while since the last change; if symptoms persist afterward, the dual water valve is the more likely cause. Could this be a control board issue instead of the valve? It's possible. This valve is triggered electrically by the refrigerator's control board, so a fault there can produce symptoms that look identical to a failed valve — no water reaching the ice maker or dispenser even though the valve itself is fine. If replacing the valve doesn't resolve the issue, the control board is the next component worth investigating. 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-function solenoid design and connection configuration as the valve originally installed in your refrigerator.

WD15X26078 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve The WD15X26078 is a Genuine OEM GE replacement dishwasher water inlet valve compatible with a wide range of GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers. The water inlet valve is mounted at the base of the dishwasher behind the lower access panel, connecting the household water supply line to the dishwasher's fill circuit. When the control board calls for water during the fill phase, the valve's internal solenoid opens, allowing water to flow into the tub — and it closes the instant the call is dropped, stopping flow precisely at the correct fill level. Without a properly functioning inlet valve, the dishwasher can't fill correctly — leading to poor cleaning performance, error codes, or no wash at all. Rated 120V, 60Hz. Approximate dimensions: 3.75" H x 3.25" W x 3.00" L. Silver/multi-color metal and plastic construction with a deep-threaded, high-quality water inlet for a tight supply-line connection and a secure outlet design that keeps the internal fill hose firmly attached. As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications, the WD15X26078 directly replaces 4959029, AP6986683, PS16217027, EAP16217027, and PD00064270. Hard water sediment is a leading cause of inlet valve clogging and failure on GE dishwashers — if your old valve is restricted by mineral buildup, replacement (not cleaning) is the recommended fix, as the internal components are easily damaged during cleaning attempts. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The WD15X26078 Genuine OEM GE Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve fixes GE, GE Profile, Café, Haier, Hotpoint, and Kenmore dishwashers that aren't filling with water, fill slowly, display the H2O error code, make strange noises or vibration during fill, won't stop filling, or leak from the valve area. 120V, 60Hz.

Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Have towels and a shallow dish ready — residual water remains in the supply line and hoses and will spill when disconnected. Remove the lower access panel (baffle) at the front bottom of the dishwasher — typically 2–4 screws. Locate the water inlet valve where the household supply line enters the dishwasher. Photograph the hose and wire connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the household water supply line from the valve inlet (use pliers for the larger ingress connection — place the dish underneath to catch leftover water). Disconnect the internal fill hose from the valve outlet (needle-nose pliers help with the smaller egress hose clamp). Unplug the electrical connector that snaps onto the valve solenoid. Remove the mounting screws holding the valve bracket to the frame and lift the old valve out. Install the new WD15X26078 valve in the same position, secure the mounting screws, reconnect the internal fill hose with its clamp, and snap the electrical connector back on. Reconnect the household water supply line to the valve inlet — align the threads carefully and tighten snugly without over-torquing. Turn the water supply back on and use a flashlight to inspect all connections for leaks BEFORE reinstalling the access panel. Restore power and run a test cycle to confirm proper filling with no leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, needle-nose pliers, shallow dish, towels, flashlight, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions What does the H2O error code mean on my GE dishwasher? The H2O error code on GE dishwashers indicates the control board is not detecting sufficient water intake during the fill phase. Common causes are: a failed or clogged water inlet valve (the most frequent culprit), the household water supply shutoff valve partially closed, a kinked supply line, or low household water pressure. First verify the supply valve under the sink is fully open and the line isn't kinked. If the supply checks out, the WD15X26078 inlet valve is the standard fix — hard water sediment gradually clogs the valve's internal screen and passages, restricting flow until the dishwasher can't fill within its expected time window. Can I clean the old valve instead of replacing it? It's not recommended. While the inlet screen on some valves can be carefully brushed clean, the internal passages and solenoid diaphragm of a sediment-clogged valve are easily damaged during cleaning attempts — a common outcome is a valve that leaks or sticks open after being "cleaned," which risks flooding. Real-world experience (including customer stories with this exact part) shows that attempting to clean a hard-water-clogged valve often breaks it. Given the moderate cost of the OEM replacement versus the flood risk of a compromised valve, replacement is the reliable repair. If your area has hard water, consider this a maintenance item that may need periodic replacement. My dishwasher won't stop filling — is that also this valve? Yes — a valve stuck in the open position is the other failure mode. When sediment or a worn diaphragm prevents the valve from sealing fully closed, water continues to flow into the tub even when the control board has cut power to the solenoid. This can lead to overfilling and potentially flooding through the door or float overflow. If your dishwasher keeps filling past its normal level, or you find water accumulating in the tub between cycles, shut off the water supply at the sink immediately and replace the valve before running the dishwasher again. How do I know this is the right valve for my GE dishwasher? Check your dishwasher's model number (on a label along the door frame or tub edge) against the compatibility list above — the WD15X26078 covers a broad range of GE GDF, GDT, GDP, Profile PDT/PDP, QDP, Monogram ZDT, DDT, and Café CDT series dishwashers. Be aware that some similar-looking GE valves (such as WD15X24213 or WD15X26140) are different parts used on other model groups — they are not interchangeable with the WD15X26078. If your model isn't in the list or your original valve shows a different part number, contact our support team with your model number and we'll verify the correct valve before you order. Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part? This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is the exact same water inlet valve installed in compatible GE, GE Profile, Café, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore GE-built dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
