The Whirlpool washer water inlet valve – part number W11688995 controls the flow of water into the washing machine during the fill cycle. When the control board sends power to the valve, it opens to allow water into the tub and closes when the correct level is reached.
If your washer is not filling, fills very slowly, overfills, or will not stop filling, a faulty inlet valve is one of the most common causes.
This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool water inlet valve assembly, designed for proper fit and reliable operation in select Whirlpool-built washing machines.
