WV2245 – Universal Supco Washer Hot Water Inlet Valve
The WV2245 – Supco Washer Hot Water Inlet Valve is a universal replacement water control valve designed for washing machines (washer appliances). It is engineered by Supco as a high-quality replacement component that regulates hot water flow into the washer during wash cycles, ensuring proper temperature control and consistent cleaning performance.
This valve is widely used as a replacement for OEM washer inlet valve assemblies (including Bosch-style 422245 equivalents) and is trusted by appliance repair technicians for restoring proper fill operation in malfunctioning washers.
Available across Canada through Appliance Kingdom, this part is ideal for homeowners, landlords, and repair professionals looking for a dependable, cost-effective fix for washer water fill issues.
Function & Importance of the Hot Water Inlet Valve
The WV2245 inlet valve controls the entry of hot water into the washing machine drum based on cycle selection from the control board.
It ensures:
-
Correct hot water volume during wash cycles
-
Proper mixing of hot and cold water (for warm cycles)
-
Prevention of overfilling or uncontrolled water flow
-
Reliable cycle performance and cleaning efficiency
When functioning properly, it responds to electrical signals from the washer’s control system to open and close water flow precisely.
Common Symptoms of a Faulty Washer Inlet Valve
A failing hot water inlet valve like the WV2245 can cause:
-
Washer not filling or very slow filling
-
No hot water entering the drum
-
Only cold water cycles working properly
-
Washer overfilling or not stopping fill cycle
-
Intermittent or incomplete wash cycles
-
Poor cleaning performance due to incorrect water temperature
In many cases, replacing the inlet valve restores normal washer operation when these symptoms are present.
