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.

WP21352320 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Belt
The WP21352320 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM drive belt for Whirlpool top-load washers. This belt connects the drive motor to the transmission at the bottom of the washer, and it's what actually spins the basket during the wash and spin cycles. Unlike a dryer's drum belt, which simply tumbles a drum, this washer drive belt has to transfer real torque to spin a heavy, water-filled basket, which puts it under considerably more mechanical stress.
Measuring approximately 51" long and 3/8" wide. A worn or broken belt produces a distinctive set of symptoms: the washer may not spin at all, spin only slowly, agitate poorly or not at all, fail to drain properly since the pump relies on the same drive system, or produce a burning smell or loud grinding noise as a worn belt slips against the pulley. One useful diagnostic tip worth knowing: a belt can look intact at a glance but still be worn out — if the sides of the belt appear shiny or glazed rather than matte, that's a sign of slippage-related wear even without a visible crack. It directly replaces 21001478, 21352320, 35-2073, 35-2320, AP6005822, WP21352320VP, and PS11738882.
Quick Answer
The WP21352320 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Drive Belt fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Admiral, Jenn-Air, Estate, Magic Chef, Crosley, Inglis, Norge, Amana, Kenmore, KitchenAid, and Ikea top-load washers with a drum that won't spin, spins slowly, won't agitate, won't drain, or produces a burning smell or loud grinding noise. Approximately 51" long, 3/8" wide. Replaces 21001478, 21352320, 35-2073, 35-2320, AP6005822, WP21352320VP, PS11738882. A belt can look intact but still be worn out — check the sides for a shiny, glazed appearance, which indicates slippage wear even without a visible crack.
Common Problems This Part Fixes

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer And Shut Off Water Supply Before Starting — Consider The Motor Pulley While You're In There Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both the hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Pull the washer out from the wall for full access. Wear work gloves. Locate the drive belt around the motor at the bottom of the washer. Use a flathead screwdriver or hex wrench to remove the screws holding the motor bracket in place, which releases tension on the belt. Carefully slide the motor bracket off the motor, and use pliers if needed to work the old belt off the pulley. While the bottom of the washer is accessible, this is a good time to inspect the motor pulley for wear as well, since it's a related component you'll already have exposed. Install the new WP21352320 belt around the pulley and transmission, following the same routing as the old belt, and make sure it's seated securely and tightened properly — a loose or improperly seated belt will slip and wear out quickly. Reattach the motor bracket with its screws. Restore the water supply and power, then run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins, agitates, and drains normally with no unusual noise. Tools needed: multi-bit screwdriver, hex wrench, standard pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My belt looks fine — no cracks or visible damage. Could it still need replacing?
Yes, and this is a common source of confusion. A belt can appear intact with no cracks and still be worn out. Check the sides of the belt closely: if they look shiny or glazed rather than having a matte, textured surface, that glazing indicates the belt has been slipping against the pulley, which is a clear sign of wear even without visible cracking.
My washer pumps and drains but the drum spins slowly or not at all. Is this the belt?
Yes, this is one of the most direct symptoms of a worn or slipping drive belt. Since this belt is what actually transfers the motor's power to spin the basket, a worn belt can slip under load, causing slow or absent spinning even though the motor itself and the drain pump are both working normally.
Should I replace the motor pulley at the same time?
It's worth inspecting while you have the bottom of the washer accessible, even if you don't end up replacing it. A worn pulley can accelerate wear on a brand-new belt, so checking its condition during this repair is a reasonable precaution, especially if your old belt showed the glazed, slipping-related wear pattern.
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 length, width, and routing configuration of the drive belt originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO W11457841 Washer Lid Latch Strike
The XPARTCO W11457841 is an aftermarket replacement washer lid latch strike compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers — including the Whirlpool WTW5100, WTW5105, WTW6120, WTW7120, WTW8120, WTW8127 series, and the Maytag MVW6200, MVW6230, MVW7230, MVW7232, MVW8230 series. The lid latch strike is the plastic component attached to the underside of the washer lid that physically engages the lid lock mechanism when the lid is closed. As the lid lowers into place, the latch strike enters the lock slot and activates the lid switch — signaling the control board that the lid is securely closed and the washer is safe to start agitation and spin.
When the lid latch strike fails — typically by breaking off, cracking, or wearing down — the lid lock can't be properly activated, and the washer will not start, will stop mid-cycle, or will refuse to advance to the spin cycle. This W11457841 aftermarket replacement is built to OEM-equivalent specifications and supersedes the earlier W11091027. It also replaces 4959179, AP6987306, EAP16218028, PD00061788, and PS16218028. Installation is fast and simple — a counterclockwise twist removes the old strike, and a clockwise twist installs the new one. Installs in under 5 minutes, no special tools required.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO W11457841 Washer Lid Latch Strike fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers that won't start, won't lock the lid, stop mid-cycle, or won't advance to spin because the lid strike is broken or worn. Plastic latch strike that attaches to the underside of the washer lid and activates the lid lock and switch. Twist-in installation. Genuine OEM.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power before beginning. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Open the washer lid and locate the lid latch strike on the underside of the lid — it's the small plastic peg that drops into the lock slot when the lid is closed. To remove the old latch strike: rotate it counterclockwise until the retaining tab breaks free and pulls back, then pull the old latch strike straight out. To install the new W11457841: align it with the mounting hole in the same orientation as the old one, and rotate clockwise until you hear or feel the retainer tab click into place. Close the lid and confirm the latch strike engages the lock slot properly. Restore power, start a test cycle, and confirm the lid locks and the washer begins normal operation. Tools needed: work gloves only — no tools required for the strike itself.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the lid strike, lid lock, and lid switch?
These three components work together as a safety system. The lid latch strike (W11457841) is the small plastic peg attached to the underside of the lid that physically enters the lock slot when the lid closes. The lid lock is the mechanism in the washer cabinet that grips the strike and physically locks the lid closed during the spin cycle. The lid switch is the electrical sensor inside the lock assembly that signals the control board when the strike is engaged. If the strike is broken or missing, none of the three can do their job — even if the lock and switch are working perfectly. Replacing just the strike often resolves "won't start" issues without needing to replace the more expensive lock assembly.
What is the difference between W11457841 and W11091027?
These are the same lid latch strike across production revisions. W11091027 was the earlier OEM part number, and W11457841 is the current part number that superseded it. Both are physically and functionally identical — if your washer's parts diagram shows W11091027, the W11457841 is the correct current replacement, and this aftermarket part covers both numbers.
My washer won't start and the lid seems to close normally — could this be the strike?
Yes, this is one of the most common symptoms of lid latch strike failure on compatible Whirlpool and Maytag washers. Even though the lid appears to close, if the strike has cracked or worn down it may not physically engage the lock or activate the switch correctly. Visually inspect the latch strike on the underside of the lid — if it's broken, missing, or chipped, replacement is straightforward. If the latch strike looks intact and the washer still won't start, the lid lock assembly itself or the wiring harness may need attention.
Do I really not need any tools to install this?
Correct — the W11457841 lid latch strike uses a twist-in design with no screws or hardware. To remove the old latch strike, rotate it counterclockwise until the internal retaining tab breaks free, then pull it out. To install the new one, push it into the mounting hole and twist clockwise until it clicks into place. The whole replacement typically takes under 5 minutes once you have the new part in hand. Work gloves are recommended to protect your hands while gripping the small plastic part, but no other tools are needed.
Is this a Genuine 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, twist-in mounting design, and lid switch activation function of the original W11457841 lid latch strike used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, and Kenmore HE top-load washers.

WH13X26535 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve
The WH13X26535 is a genuine GE OEM water inlet valve assembly for GE top-load washers, and also fits select Hotpoint, Haier, Monogram, and Café models. This valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub during the fill portion of the cycle, ensuring each wash uses the correct amount of water at the right temperature blend. It's housed in durable gray plastic.
Common failure causes include mineral or sediment buildup inside the valve body, a burned-out internal solenoid coil, and general wear over years of use — five years is a commonly cited service life before this valve starts to show problems. A failing valve produces a clear set of symptoms: the washer not filling properly, water continuing to fill or drip even when the washer is turned off, or leaking near the valve area. It directly replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, and PD00052736. As a genuine OEM part, the WH13X26535 is manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The WH13X26535 Genuine OEM GE Washer Water Valve fixes GE top-load washers that aren't filling properly, are overfilling, or have water slowly dripping into the tub even when the washer is off. Housed in gray plastic. Replaces AP6892695, WH13X24386, 4931303, PS12726769, WH13X24392, WH13X26535-25PK, EAP12726769, PD00052736. This replacement valve does not include a thermistor or gasket — if your old valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you'll need to transfer it (with its gasket) to the new valve. Also not the same as the similarly-numbered WH13X26534, which is a separate valve for other GE/Hotpoint models.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer not filling with water properly
Washer overfilling
Water slowly dripping or leaking into the tub even when the washer is turned off
Leaking near the valve connections
No hot water reaching the tub, or no cold water reaching the tub
Cycle stalling at the fill step and never advancing to wash

Note — thermistor transfer required, and not the same as WH13X26534: This valve does not include a thermistor or the rubber gasket that seats it. If your original valve has a thermistor mounted in front of the solenoids, you must transfer that thermistor and its gasket onto this new valve during installation.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Shut Off Water Supply And Unplug Washer Before Starting — Watch For The Thermistor O-Ring Disconnect power at the outlet or shut off the circuit breaker, and shut off both hot and cold water supply valves before beginning. Wear work gloves. Access is typically behind the front control panel or top of the cabinet, depending on your model. The valve assembly is usually held in place with a metal plate and two screws. Photograph the wiring and hose connections before disconnecting anything. If your old valve has a thermistor (temperature sensor) mounted in front of the solenoids, it fits into a small hole in the bracket and uses an O-ring seal that's known to degrade and leak over time — this new valve does not include one, so you'll need to carefully transfer the thermistor and its gasket from the old valve to the new one. Disconnect the electrical connector and outlet hoses from the old valve, remove its mounting screws, and pull it free. Transfer the thermistor and gasket to the new WH13X26535 if applicable, then install it in the same position, reconnect all outlet hoses to their original positions, reconnect the electrical connector, and secure the mounting screws. Reattach the hot and cold supply hoses, tightening securely. Restore the water supply and check every connection for leaks before restoring power. Run a full test cycle across a few different temperature settings to confirm each fill function works correctly with no leaking. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this valve come with the thermistor?
No. This valve no longer comes with the rubber gasket or thermistor that some GE washers use, mounted directly in front of the solenoids. If your old unit has one, you'll need to remove it from the old valve, along with its gasket, and transfer it onto this new valve during installation.
Water has been slowly leaking into my tub even when the washer is off. Is that this valve?
Yes, this is a documented cause. One customer traced over a year of slow leaking directly to this valve's thermistor O-ring, which is known to degrade over time and let water seep through even when the washer isn't running. Replacing the valve (and transferring a good thermistor and gasket if your model uses one) resolves this type of slow leak.
Is this the same as WH13X26534?
No, these are two separate GE valve part numbers with different cross-reference sets, despite the similar numbering. Always confirm the exact part number from your washer's parts diagram or the sticker on your old valve rather than assuming based on a close number match.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by GE to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It matches the original solenoid design, housing, and connection type of the water inlet valve originally installed in your washer.

XPARTCO AJU75152602 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO AJU75152602 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve assembly compatible with select LG and Kenmore top-load washers in the larger-capacity WT7 series — including the WT7060, WT7100, WT7150, WT7155, WT7250, WT7300, WT7305, WT7400, WT7405, WT7800, WT7880, and WT7900 series. The water inlet valve is a multi-port solenoid valve mounted on the back of the washer that controls the flow of hot and cold water into the tub and dispenser compartments during fill and rinse cycles. When any valve port fails, the washer may not fill at all, fill too slowly, fill with the wrong water temperature, overfill, or leak from the valve body.
This valve assembly directly replaces 5221EA1008S, 4873914, AP6335382, EAP12580369, PS12580369, and PD00060681. It includes two integrated inlet screens to filter debris from the supply lines. Installs in 15–25 minutes with basic hand tools. Note: the AJU75152602 is for the WT7xxx larger-capacity LG top-load series — it is not the same valve as the AJU75152601, which is used on the earlier and smaller-capacity WT1xxx through WT5xxx series. Verify your model number before ordering.

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 positions before disconnecting. Disconnect the two external supply hoses from the valve inlet ports. Disconnect the internal outlet hoses by squeezing the retaining clips and pulling free. Disconnect the wiring harness connectors from each solenoid port. Unscrew the mounting screws and remove the old valve. Install the new AJU75152602 valve in the same position, reconnect all internal hoses, wire harnesses, and external supply hoses in the documented positions. Restore water supply and power, then run a fill cycle to verify normal filling and check for leaks. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, pliers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between AJU75152602 and AJU75152601?
These are two different water inlet valve assemblies for different generations of LG top-load washers. The AJU75152601 (which also replaces AJU73213301 and 5221EA1008F) is used on LG's earlier and smaller-capacity top-load washers in the WT1xxx, WT4xxx, and WT5xxx series. The AJU75152602 (which replaces 5221EA1008S) is for LG's larger-capacity WT7xxx series. Despite appearing similar, they have different port configurations and are not interchangeable. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed?
Common signs are the washer not filling, filling only on one temperature setting, overfilling, dripping between cycles, or leaking from the valve area. Before replacing the valve, check that both supply valves are fully open and the hoses are not kinked. You can test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — a working coil shows resistance (typically 200–500 ohms); an open circuit confirms that coil has failed. Also inspect and clean the inlet screens inside the supply port openings — mineral-clogged screens can restrict flow enough to cause the same symptoms as a failed valve.
What are the two inlet screens included with the valve?
The two mesh screens that come with the AJU75152602 install inside the hot and cold water inlet ports of the valve. They catch sediment, mineral particles, and debris from the household water supply before they can reach the solenoid valve seats. Installing fresh screens along with the new valve helps extend the valve's service life, especially in areas with hard water. If the previous valve failed due to mineral buildup rather than an electrical fault, cleaning the supply hoses before installation is also recommended.
My LG WT7300CW is only filling with cold water — is this the valve?
Filling with only cold water on a warm or hot cycle is a classic sign that the hot water solenoid coil on the inlet valve has failed. Each temperature port is controlled by its own independent solenoid — when the hot solenoid fails, only the cold port opens. Before replacing the valve, also confirm that the household hot water supply valve is fully open and that hot water is reaching the back of the washer in the supply hose. If hot water supply is confirmed and the cold-only fill persists, replace the AJU75152602 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 LG OEM part, but is manufactured from ABS plastic and stainless steel to match the port configuration and specifications of the original AJU75152602 water inlet valve assembly.

XPARTCO 6501KW2001B Washer Rotor Positioning Sensor
The XPARTCO 6501KW2001B is an aftermarket replacement rotor position sensor (RPS) compatible with a wide range of LG and Kenmore direct-drive front-load washers. This 5-pin Hall effect sensor mounts to the motor stator and monitors the speed and rotational direction of the motor rotor, feeding that data back to the control board so it can properly manage spin speed, direction changes during wash/rinse agitation, and load balancing.
When this sensor fails or reads inaccurately, the control board loses the feedback it needs to run the motor correctly, and the washer commonly throws an "LE" (motor/rotor position) error code, fails to spin or agitate, or runs unusually long cycles as it struggles to detect motor movement. Built with PBT-GF30 housing and black epoxy potting for durability in the motor compartment. It directly replaces 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2001D, AP5973402, PS11706506, EAP11706506, and 3282954. Installs in 30–60 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6501KW2001B Washer Rotor Positioning Sensor fixes LG and Kenmore (LG-built) direct-drive front-load washers throwing an "LE" error code, failing to spin or agitate, or running abnormally long cycles. 5-pin Hall effect sensor, PBT-GF30 housing, black epoxy potting. Replaces 6501KW2001A, 6501KW2001D, AP5973402, PS11706506, EAP11706506, 3282954. Classic symptom: washer displays "LE" and stops mid-cycle, or won't spin at all.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Washer displays an "LE" (motor/rotor position) error code
Tub fails to spin or agitate during the wash cycle
Washer struggles to detect load movement, resulting in abnormally long cycle times
Motor runs erratically or stalls mid-cycle
Washer stops partway through a cycle without completing
Inconsistent or failed direction changes during agitation

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Washer Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning. Access the motor compartment, typically by removing the rear panel of the washer. Locate the rotor position sensor mounted to the motor stator near the rotor. Photograph the wiring before disconnecting, then unplug the sensor's connector from the wiring harness. Remove the mounting screw(s) or clip holding the sensor to the stator and remove the old sensor. Install the new 6501KW2001B sensor in the same position, taking care to seat it at the correct distance/orientation from the rotor magnets, and secure it. Reconnect the wiring harness connector, matching your photos. Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm the washer spins and agitates normally without triggering an LE error code. Tools needed: nut driver or screwdriver, needle-nose pliers (for wiring connectors).
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an "LE" error code — is this the part I need?
This is one of the most common causes of an LE (motor/rotor position) error on LG and LG-built Kenmore washers. If your washer displays LE and stops mid-cycle or won't spin, this sensor is a likely culprit. That said, LE errors can also stem from the control board or a damaged wiring harness between the sensor and the board, so if replacing the sensor doesn't resolve the error, those components are the next things to inspect.
Is this the same as the 6501KW2002B sensor?
No — 6501KW2001B and 6501KW2002B are different, non-interchangeable rotor position sensors used on different LG washer platforms. Confirm your exact part number from your appliance's parts diagram before ordering, since these two are easy to mix up by their similar naming.
My LG washer's parts diagram doesn't show a separate rotor position sensor — why?
Some newer LG models integrate the Hall sensor directly into the motor stator assembly (such as part AJB73816004) rather than using a standalone sensor like this one. If your model doesn't list a standalone sensor, check whether your repair requires the full stator assembly instead. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure which one applies to your washer.
Do I need any special tools to install this?
No special tools — a nut driver or screwdriver to access the rear panel and remove the sensor's mounting screw(s), plus needle-nose pliers to help with the wiring connector. The main thing to get right is reinstalling the new sensor at the same position and orientation relative to the rotor as the original.

W10599356 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve
The W10599356 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built front-load washers, including full-size and compact models. This valve sits at the back of the washer where the hot and cold water supply hoses connect, and it's the gatekeeper for every drop of water that enters the drum. When the control calls for water, it energizes the valve's solenoid coils to open the hot side, the cold side, or both together, and closes them again once the correct fill level is reached. A valve that won't open leaves you with no fill at all; a valve that won't fully close can let water trickle or flow into the drum even when the cycle isn't calling for it.
Over time, mineral deposits and sediment from the water supply can build up inside the valve body and prevent it from sealing fully, the internal solenoid coil can burn out electrically, and the rubber diaphragm or seal inside can simply wear out with age. A failing valve on this platform commonly triggers an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code, since the control expects water to reach the correct level within a set time and flags it when that doesn't happen. It directly replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, and W10509710. As a genuine OEM part, the W10599356 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
Quick Answer
The W10599356 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve fixes Whirlpool-built front-load washers that won't fill, fill slowly, overfill, leak water into the drum when the cycle isn't running, or throw an F8 E1 or similar fill-related error code. Solenoid-actuated water inlet valve for the hot and cold supply connections. Replaces AP5692067, 3023192, PS8689091, W10509710. Consider replacing the fill hoses at the same time — they wear on a similar schedule and share the same access point.

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 hot and cold water supply lines from the back of the valve first — have a towel or shallow pan ready, since residual water will spill out. Use a 1/4" nut driver or socket to remove the rear screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old valve, remove the mounting screw or bracket (often a T-20 Torx screw), and pull the valve free from its mounting position. Install the new W10599356 in the same orientation, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the hot and cold water supply lines to the correct ports, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers. Reinstall the top panel, restore the water supply, and check every connection you touched for leaks before restoring power. Run a short cycle and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. While everything is accessible, consider replacing the fill hoses as well, since they wear on a similar schedule. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, T-20 Torx bit, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves.
Frequently Asked Questions
My washer shows an F8 E1 error. Does that mean the valve is definitely bad?
It's a strong indicator, but check the basics first. F8 E1 and similar fill-related codes generally mean the control didn't see water reach the expected level within its allotted fill time. Before replacing the valve, confirm both hot and cold supply valves at the wall are fully open, check the inlet screens inside the valve ports for sediment or debris, and make sure the fill hoses aren't kinked. If those check out and the washer still won't fill properly, the inlet valve itself is the likely cause.
Water keeps trickling into the drum even when the washer is off. Is that the valve?
Yes, this is one of the classic symptoms of a valve that isn't sealing fully closed. Mineral deposits, sediment, or a worn internal diaphragm can prevent the valve from shutting off completely, letting a slow trickle of water continue into the drum between cycles. This can eventually lead to an overfill or water pooling at the front of the washer, so it's worth addressing promptly rather than waiting.
Only hot or only cold water isn't coming in. Do I need to replace 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 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.
Should I replace the fill hoses while I'm in there?
It's a good idea. The fill hoses connect right at the same point you'll already have exposed, wear on a similar timeline as the valve, and are a common source of slow leaks that get blamed on the valve. Since you're already accessing this area, replacing hoses that show any cracking, bulging, or stiffness saves you from repeating the disassembly later.
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 solenoid design, seal, and flow-rate calibration as the water inlet valve originally installed in your front-load washer.

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.

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.
