WP22003245 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve
WP22003245 – Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve
The WP22003245 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Washer Water Inlet Valve is a critical water control component designed for Whirlpool washing machines (Washer category). This is a Genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part, engineered to Whirlpool’s exact factory specifications for performance, safety, and durability.
Available through Appliance Kingdom (Canada-wide shipping from Edmonton, AB), this part is trusted by homeowners, landlords, and appliance repair professionals for restoring proper water intake function in Whirlpool washers and compatible brands.
Function & Importance of the Washer Water Inlet Valve
The water inlet valve regulates the flow of hot and cold water into the washing machine drum based on signals from the washer’s control board.
In a Whirlpool washer, this component ensures:
-
Correct water levels for each wash cycle
-
Proper temperature mixing (hot/cold control)
-
Controlled filling and cycle timing
A genuine OEM valve like WP22003245 is essential because it is calibrated for precise electrical response and water pressure handling. Non-OEM or low-quality valves can lead to inconsistent filling, leaks, or cycle failures.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Inlet Valve
If your Whirlpool washer is experiencing any of the following issues, this part may be the solution:
-
Washer not filling with water
-
Washer filling too slowly or inconsistently
-
Water leaking when the washer is off or running
-
Incorrect water temperature (only hot or only cold filling)
-
Cycle not starting due to water supply errors
-
Overfilling or continuous water flow
These symptoms are directly linked to inlet valve failure, making replacement a common and effective repair solution for restoring washer performance.
