Whirlpool WP22001604 Washer Water Inlet Valve

The Whirlpool WP22001604 Washer Water Inlet Valve is a necessary component of your washing machine, regulating the flow of water that enters throughout various wash cycles. This solenoid valve operates similarly to a switch that is operated electronically. The washing machine's control board sends a signal to the valve when a certain cycle is chosen and started. The valve's solenoid opens the designated water inlets when this signal energizes it. Depending on the needs of the cycle, either hot or cold water subsequently flows through the valve and into the washing machine tub. The solenoid de-energizes and stops the flow of water when the control board provides another signal, signaling the water to reach the required level.
