This inlet valve is a genuine replacement component designed for use in various washing machines. It regulates water flow by opening and closing the hot and cold water channels during the wash cycle, ensuring proper fill levels and cycle performance. The valve includes a wire harness for easy electrical connection and operates as an electrically controlled solenoid. Over time, it may fail due to electrical shorts or mechanical wear, resulting in error codes, lack of water intake, or cycle interruptions. Installation requires basic tools such as a screwdriver or socket wrench and involves partial disassembly of the washer. Always disconnect power and water supply before beginning the repair. This OEM part is sold individually and does not include additional accessories.

Water would not stop flowing.
*be sure to turn water off, unplug machine, and unscrew the water hoses from the rear of the washer. 1. Removed screws from the back of the washer, just the top part where the controls are. 2. Removed the panel. 3. Use a putty knife or screw driver to pop off the top panel. 4. Remove the screws from the inlet valve. 5. Unplug the wires connecting the inlet valve to the washer. 6. Lift out the old inlet valve. 7. Replace with the new inlet valve. 8. Plug the new wires into the washer. 9. Replace the screws in the inlet valve. 10. Replace the top. 11. Replace the rear panel and screws. 12. Reconnect the water hoses, careful not to mix the hot and cold. 13. Plug the machine back in and you're finished!
Replaced the mixer valve . It was a few screws, and an instruction video from YouTube.

Washer works fine but water continues to drip in the washer when turned off. I have to shut the main supply off. Is this a bad water inlet valve?
For model number MVWC565FW0
Hi Jeffrey,
Thank you for your question. Yes, if you have water leaking into the tub when it is not in use, the issue would be the water inlet valve. A component in the valve has failed and it will need to be replaced. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

After i have loaded the washer and pushed the start button, the sensor light comes on, but water does not start filling the tub. I was told that this was because of the water input valve. Is this correct?
For model number NTW4605EW0
Hi Leilani, thank you for your question. Usually it is however you could test your valve with a multi meter to make sure it is working correctly. If it is then you may want to also take a look at your water level pressure switch as well. Good luck with your repair.

The water keeps running without filling the washer. What should I look for to verify the faulty part?
For model number NTW4605EW0
Hello Chuck, Thank you for the question. We suggest testing the Water Valve. Set your multitester to the R X 1 ohms setting to test for continuity. Place each of the multitester's leads on a terminal. Your multitester should display a reading between 200 and 500 ohms. Closely examine your water inlet valve. The exact ohm resistance rating you should test for may be marked on the valve. We hope this helps!

The water makes a loud whooshing sound only when filling on the rinse cycle. My research says it may could be the fill valve…or a kink in the filler hoses. I can not detect a kink in either hose. Should I replace the valve?
For model number MVWC565FW0
Hello Frank, thank you for reaching out. Based on our understanding of the issue, we would suggest checking the water inlet valve, part number PS11773194, to solve the problem. A malfunctioning water inlet valve can most probably cause this problem. We hope this helps!

For model number MVWC565FW1
Hello Joseph, Thank you for the question. Yes, if the Hot Water is turned on and running from the water supply but the appliance will not fill with hot water, the Water Inlet Valve should be replaced. We hope this helps!

The clothes in the washer are half-dry and have stains all over them. Seems like some clothes have never been washed at all. Could it be that the inlet washer valve is bad so that it doesn't allow water in?
For model number MVWC565FW0
Hello Kostya, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the valve with a multi meter to check for continuity. Hope this helps!
