00628334 / 10023852 Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

Key Features

• Precision Solenoid Control: An electronically operated valve that accurately manages the volume of water entering the dishwasher during the fill cycles, ensuring optimal water levels for every wash.
• High-Pressure Inlet Screen: Features a built-in fine-mesh polymer filter that captures sediment, sand, and calcium deposits from your home’s main water line to protect the internal spray arms.
• Heat-Stabilized Valve Body: Manufactured from premium, food-grade polymers designed to withstand incoming hot water temperatures up to 160°F without warping or losing structural integrity.
• Leak-Proof Compression Fitting: Engineered with a standardized threaded inlet to ensure a secure, drip-free connection to your home’s flexible or copper water supply line.

Compatibility & Fitment

This water inlet valve is the primary fill control for most modern 24-inch built-in dishwashers manufactured by BSH. Key compatible brands include:

• Bosch: Fits hundreds of 300, 500, and 800 series models (e.g., SHE65T55UC, SHX68T55UC, SHP65T55UC, and SHV series).
• Thermador: Compatible with high-end Emerald, Topaz, and Sapphire series professional dishwashers (e.g., DWHD650JFM).
• Gaggenau: Direct fit for various DF and DI series professional-grade luxury dishwashers.
• Note: This valve is typically located at the front-left or front-right bottom behind the kickplate. Please check your model number to ensure this specific dual-terminal or single-terminal configuration matches.

When to Replace

• Dishwasher Not Filling: The cycle starts, you hear the drain pump run, but no water enters the tub, often accompanied by a faint humming noise from the valve.
• Slow Fill / Low Water Level: The internal filter screen is clogged with sediment, or the valve isn't opening fully, leading to poor cleaning performance or dry dishes.
• "E15" or "E24" Error Codes: While these codes can have multiple causes, a leaking or failing inlet valve can often trigger the flood switch or fill-timeout errors on Bosch displays.
• Water Leaks Under the Unit: You find water pooling on the floor under the front of the dishwasher, even when the unit is turned off.
• Constant Filling: The solenoid is stuck in the "Open" position, causing the dishwasher to fill even when it is not running, which can lead to flooding if the power isn't cut.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: **CRITICAL:** You MUST turn off the water supply valve and unplug the dishwasher (or trip the 120V breaker) before starting. Water and electricity are a dangerous mix.
• Accessing the Valve: Remove the two screws holding the front kickplate (toe-kick) panel. You do not usually need to pull the dishwasher out from the cabinet to replace this part.
• The "Teflon Tape" Rule: If your water line uses a brass 90-degree elbow fitting, apply a small amount of plumber's thread seal tape to the threads of the brass fitting before screwing it into the new plastic valve.
• Bucket Ready: Have a shallow pan or a towel ready when you disconnect the water line, as there will be a small amount of "residual" water trapped in the hose.
• Check the Hose Clamp: Ensure the internal hose that connects the valve to the dishwasher tub is secured tightly with the spring clamp. A loose hose here is a common cause of leaks after a successful valve replacement.
