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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Common Problems This Part Fixes Water leaking or overflowing from the valve area Slow or irregular water filling Washer filling non-stop and not shutting off Washer not filling with water at all Incorrect water temperature during fill Unusual noise during the water fill cycle Error code related to water fill or temperature What Is an OE Part? OE (Original Equipment) means this part is manufactured by the same original supplier that produces the Genuine OEM version — identical fit, materials, and performance. The only difference is packaging: OE parts ship under our XPARTCO brand rather than the appliance manufacturer's branded box, which is why they can't be listed as Genuine OEM. You get factory-original quality at a more affordable price. Cross Reference Information Part numbers can change over a product's lifecycle as manufacturers update designs or release new appliance models. For your convenience, we've included any known superseded, alternate, or cross-reference part numbers that match this item. Replaces Part Numbers This washer water inlet valve directly replaces the following OEM and cross-reference part numbers: WH23X29538, C-163/21-A13, 33090201, PD00071094, EAP16217225, AP6990115, AGE26158, PS16217225 If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility. Compatibility This water valve is compatible with select GE front-load washers, including model numbers such as: GFW550SPN0DG, GFW550SPN1DG, GFW550SPN2DG, GFW550SPN3DG GFW550SPR0RS, GFW550SPR3RS, GFW550SPR4RS, GFW550SPR5RS GFW550SSN0WW, GFW550SSN1WW, GFW550SSN2WW, GFW550SSN3WW, GFW550SSN4WW, GFW550SSN5WW Note — not the same as WH23X29553: This valve is specific to the GFW550 series. It is a separate part from our WH23X29553 listing, which fits the GFW650/850 and PFW870/950 series and has a completely different cross-reference set. The two are easy to confuse given the similar numbering — always confirm your exact part number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure. Key Features OE (Original Equipment) water inlet valve — manufactured by the same supplier as the Genuine OEM version Two water inlets with filters, four solenoid coils, five water outlets for precise fill control Resolves "leaking/overflowing," "slow or irregular fill," "non-stop filling," "won't fill," and "wrong temperature" symptoms ABS plastic body with stainless steel reinforcement for corrosion resistance Rated 120V, 60Hz Direct drop-in replacement — matches the original mounting and hose connections Replaces WH23X29538, C-163/21-A13, 33090201, PD00071094, EAP16217225, AP6990115, AGE26158, PS16217225 Compatible with GE front-load washers in the GFW550 series Product Specifications Part Number WH23X29538-OE Designation OE (Original Equipment) Part Type Washer Water Inlet Valve Brand GE Application Front-Load Washers (GFW550 Series) Voltage 120V Frequency 60 Hz Inlets 2, each with a filter Outlets 5 Solenoid Coils 4 Body Material ABS plastic with stainless steel reinforcement Quantity 1 valve Compatible Brand GE 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 W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) The XPARTCO W11688995 is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve designed as a direct fit for select Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, Inglis, and Kenmore front-load washers. The cold water inlet valve is mounted at the back of the washer where the cold water supply hose connects. When the washer's control board calls for cold water during a wash cycle, the valve's internal solenoid opens, letting water flow into the tub or detergent dispenser. The valve closes the instant the control board cuts power, stopping flow precisely as the correct fill level is reached. When this valve fails, the washer may not fill with cold water at all, fill very slowly, fail to dispense fabric softener, continuously drip water into the tub even when off, or display F8E1 or LO FL error codes. Construction is blue and white plastic with metal solenoid coil, ~3"H x 4"W x 3"L, with 1/2" NPT threaded inlet for standard washer supply hose. It directly replaces W11688995, W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, EAP12711564, PD00086086, PS12711564, 4929298, and AP6835737. Often replaced as a pair with the hot water inlet valve (W11688994, sold separately). Installs in 10–15 minutes with basic hand tools. Quick Answer The XPARTCO W11688995 Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) fixes Whirlpool, Maytag, Amana, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Kenmore front-load washers displaying F8E1 or LO FL error codes, not filling with cold water, filling slowly, failing to dispense fabric softener, or continuously dripping into the tub.

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

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

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 W10599356 Washer Water Valve The XPARTCO W10599356 is an aftermarket replacement 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.

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 an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the solenoid design, flow rate, and mounting configuration of the original W10599356 / W10509710 valve used in compatible Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore front-load washers.

W11688995 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve (Cold) The W11688995 is a genuine Whirlpool OEM cold water inlet valve for Whirlpool-built front-load washers. Whirlpool's newer front-load platforms use two separate single-function valves instead of one combined hot/cold valve body — this cold-side valve handles only the cold water supply, while a matching hot-side valve (sold separately as W11688994) handles the hot side. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes this valve's solenoid coils to open the water path; when the correct level is reached, the valve closes again. If this valve fails to open, the washer won't take on cold water; if it fails to seal fully closed, water can trickle into the drum even when the washer isn't running. Because this is a dedicated single-function valve, a failure here shows up in a very specific way: cold-only fills stop working or slow down dramatically, while hot-only fills (governed by the separate W11688994 valve) continue working normally. Whirlpool's own service guidance links this valve to F8 E1 and LO FL fill-related error codes. Common failure modes include mineral or sediment buildup that prevents the valve from sealing, a burned-out solenoid coil, or a worn internal diaphragm. It directly replaces W11036930, W11316256, W11486361, AP7218603, PS17216730, and EAP17216730. As a genuine OEM part, the W11688995 is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

Remove the rear screws securing the top panel, then slide the panel back and lift it off to access the valve assembly from inside the cabinet. Photograph the wiring connections before disconnecting anything, since the hot and cold valves sit side by side and it's easy to cross a wire. Disconnect the electrical connector from the old cold valve, remove its mounting screw or bracket, and pull the valve free — leave the hot valve (W11688994) undisturbed if it isn't also being replaced. Install the new W11688995 in the same position, secure the mounting screw, and reconnect the electrical connector fully. Reattach the cold water supply line, tightening securely by hand plus a partial turn with pliers — avoid overtightening plastic threaded fittings.

Run a short cycle set to a cold wash and confirm the tub fills at the normal rate with no leaking underneath or behind the washer. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver or socket, T-20 Torx bit, pliers, towel or shallow pan, work gloves. Frequently Asked Questions Cold water won't fill but hot water works fine. Is this the right part? Yes — that's exactly the symptom pattern this valve addresses. Because your washer uses two separate single-function valves rather than one combined valve, a fault on the cold side only affects cold fills while the hot valve (W11688994) keeps working independently. If cold-specific cycles are the ones failing, this cold valve is the correct part to replace. Do I need to replace both the hot and cold valves at the same time? Not necessarily. Since these are independent single-function valves, you only need to replace the one that has actually failed. If only cold fills are affected, replacing this W11688995 valve alone is sufficient. If both hot and cold fills are having problems, or if the valves are original and quite old, some people choose to replace both at once since they're already accessing the same area — but it's not required. My washer shows an F8 E1 or LO FL error. Does that mean this valve is bad? It's a strong indicator, but check the basics first. These codes generally mean the control didn't see water reach the expected level within its allotted fill time. Before replacing the valve, confirm the cold supply valve at the wall is fully open, check the inlet screen inside the valve port for sediment or debris, and make sure the cold fill hose isn't kinked. If those check out and cold water still won't fill properly, this valve is the likely cause. Can I use this valve on the hot water side instead? No. This is a dedicated cold-water valve, and the hot-water side uses a separate part number, W11688994. The two are built and calibrated for their specific supply line and are not interchangeable — installing the cold valve on the hot side (or vice versa) will not properly control water temperature during the cycle. Is this an OEM or aftermarket part? This is a genuine OEM part, manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance. It includes the same two-coil solenoid design, seal, and flow-rate calibration as the cold water inlet valve originally installed in your front-load washer.

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.

XPARTCO 5221ER1003S Washer Water Valve The XPARTCO 5221ER1003S is an aftermarket replacement cold water inlet valve for LG and select Kenmore front-load washers. This valve sits underneath the top panel, at the point where the cold water supply hose connects, and it's the gatekeeper for cold water entering the tub. When the control calls for a cold fill, it energizes the valve's solenoid to open, admitting water; once the correct level is reached, it closes again. This part controls the cold water side specifically — hot fills on these washers are governed by a separate valve. Rated 12V and terminated with small male spade connectors, this valve measures approximately 4.75"H x 3.25"W x 2.25"L, with a gray plastic and metal housing. Over time, rust and mineral buildup inside the valve body — a documented failure point on this platform — can prevent it from sealing fully, which lets water continue flowing even after the valve is told to close. A washer that keeps filling even while draining, or that leaks steadily at the cold connection, is a strong sign of exactly this kind of stuck-open valve failure. Other failure modes include a burned-out solenoid coil and general wear from age. It directly replaces 4869496, AP6798394, PS12587936, and EAP12587936, and is also cross-referenced to the related 5221ER1003A part number.

Compatibility This cold water inlet valve is compatible with select LG front-load washers, and also fits select Kenmore front-load washers built on the LG platform, including model numbers such as: LG WM4000HBA, WM4000HWA, WM3400CW, WM3470CW LG W3600HVA Kenmore WKE100HVA (select LG-built models) Note — cold side only: This is the cold water valve. Some LG front-load washers use a separate hot water valve for the hot supply connection — if hot water fills normally but cold does not, this valve is the correct part; if the issue affects both hot and cold fills, the problem may lie elsewhere in the fill circuit. This valve is specific to LG's front-load platform and is not intended for top-load washers. Always verify your full model number before ordering. Contact our support team with your model number if you're unsure.

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