The Whirlpool W10919200 Washing Machine 1 Water Inlet Valve is a critical component that controls the flow of water into your Whirlpool washer. It is essentially a two-way electrical switch that opens and closes to regulate the amount of water used during various wash cycles. 1The water inlet valve is typically found behind the washing machine's lower front panel and receives signals from the control board. When the cycle starts, the control board sends a signal to the valve, which opens and allows water from the household supply to enter the washing machine. The valve remains open until the required water level is met, at which point it closes to prevent overflow. A broken water inlet valve can cause a variety of problems with your washing machine's operation.
