WP8540751 Whirlpool Water Inlet Valve

This Front Load Washer Water Inlet Valve lets the hot and cold water into your washing machine and distributes it around to the dispensers. If the valve is leaking during use, replacing this part may alleviate the issue. A long or slow fill cycle is often due to a restricted water valve. Please note: The valve should never be disassembled and cleaned, only replaced. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the appliance and novice repair experience. You must unplug the appliance or shut off the house circuit breaker before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off the hot and cold water supplies.
