Whirlpool WP8181694 Genuine OEM Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve Replacement Part - Replaces 8181694

This Top Load Washer Water Inlet Valve allows hot and cold water to enter your washing machine and distributes it to the dispensers. If the valve is leaking or the solenoids are damaged and water isn't coming in, replacing this part may resolve these issues. A long or slow fill cycle is often caused by a restricted water valve. To access the part, after shutting off the water supply, remove the hot and cold fill hoses (usually labeled 'H' and 'C') at the back of the machine from the valve. Be sure to place a towel down to catch any water. Next, remove the top panel of the washer. Please note: The valve should never be disassembled and cleaned; it should only be replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools such as a multi-screwdriver, putty knife, pliers, and channel locks. It also involves some disassembly of the appliance and requires novice repair experience. Before installing this high-quality replacement part, remember to unplug the washer or shut off the house circuit breaker to ensure safety. Also, make sure to turn off the hot and cold water supplies. Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.
