FAQs

This valve is commonly used on washers from Whirlpool, Kenmore, Maytag, Amana, Admiral, Crosley, Estate, Inglis, Roper, Magic Chef, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Norge. Compatibility still depends on the exact model number, so the safest check is to match your washer model and confirm that it uses part W10144820 or one of its replacements.

Typical signs include the washer filling slowly, not filling at all, only hot or only cold water entering, water continuing to drip into the tub after the machine is off, fill errors, or incorrect water temperature during cycles. On this part family, internal solenoid failure, mineral buildup, or a failed thermistor-related section can all cause fill problems.
The valve controls hot and cold water entering the washer. On this part family, the assembly commonly includes separate hot and cold valve sections, a vacuum break, and a thermistor sensor used to help monitor incoming water temperature. If the valve does not open, close, or regulate temperature correctly, the washer may not fill properly or may use the wrong water temperature.
For many top-load and front-load Whirlpool-built washers, this is usually a moderate repair that takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Typical tools include a screwdriver, pliers, and possibly a nut driver or socket. You’ll need to unplug the washer, shut off both water supplies, disconnect the fill hoses, remove the rear or top access panel depending on the model, transfer the wire connectors, and reinstall the new valve.
First confirm the house water supply is turned on and that both fill hoses are not kinked. Inspect the inlet screens for sediment or mineral blockage, and make sure the washer is actually sending power to the valve during fill. If the valve is getting power but not opening, or if it leaks through when de-energized, replacement is usually warranted. It is also smart to inspect the hose washers and replace damaged fill hoses if they are brittle or leaking.
The most common causes are hard-water scale, sand or debris clogging the inlet screens, worn internal seals that allow seepage, and failed solenoids from age or repeated cycling. In some cases, electrical issues in the harness or control board can mimic a bad valve, so basic diagnosis before installation helps avoid replacing the wrong part.
