Key Features

• Precision Fill Calibration: Specifically engineered to regulate the flow of water into the tub, ensuring the correct level is reached for the wash pump to generate optimal spray arm pressure.
• High-Durability Solenoid: Features a 120V electromagnetic coil designed for long-term reliability and crisp shut-off to prevent overfilling.
• Stainless Steel Inlet Screen: Equipped with an internal fine-mesh filter to trap sediment and pipe scale, protecting the dishwasher’s internal internal components.
• Standardized Threaded Intake: Features a standard 3/4" GHT (Garden Hose Thread) connection point for easy compatibility with most residential water supply lines.

Compatibility & Fitment

This water inlet valve is a primary component for many 24-inch built-in dishwashers manufactured by Electrolux. Key compatible models include:

• Frigidaire: FDB1050REB4, DGBD2432KB1, FDB1100RHC0, FDB435RBT2, PLD2855RFC1.
• Maytag: MDB124BFR2, MDB124BFW2.
• Kenmore / Sears: Fits 587-series models (e.g., 587.14002990, 587.15112K90).
• Crosley, Gibson, & Tappan: Compatible with select units utilizing the 154 series fill valves.

When to Replace

• No Water in Tub: The cycle begins and the timer advances, but the machine fails to fill with water, often accompanied by a humming sound.
• Overflowing / Leaking: Water continues to enter the dishwasher when the power is off or the cycle is paused, indicating the valve is stuck open.
• "Long Fill" Errors: The machine times out and stops because it cannot reach the required water level within the programmed window.
• Noisy Operation: A loud buzzing or vibrating sound during the fill portion of the cycle, suggesting a failing solenoid coil.
• Poor Wash Performance: Low water levels lead to inadequate spray pressure, leaving dishes dirty or covered in soap film.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Shut off the water supply valve and disconnect the electrical power (unplug or flip the breaker) before starting the repair.
• Accessing the Part: The valve is located behind the lower kickplate. You may need to remove the two screws holding the toe kick in place.
• Fitting Transfer: If your supply line uses a 90-degree brass elbow, unscrew it from the old valve and reinstall it on the new one using thread seal tape (PTFE) on the brass-to-brass threads only.
• Wiring: The two wires on the solenoid can be connected to either terminal. Ensure they are pushed firmly onto the spade connectors.
• Final Check: Before replacing the kickplate, turn the water on and run a short test cycle to verify there are no leaks at the connection points.
