The Whirlpool WP22002708 is a water inlet valve that is designed exclusively for Whirlpool washing machines. This is a crucial component that regulates the flow of water into the machine during different wash cycles. The valve is often made up of solenoid electromagnetic coils that open and close in response to electrical signals from the washer's control board. When a cycle begins and water is required, the control board sends a signal to the solenoid, which activates and allows water to flow through the valve into the washer. The WP22002708 most likely contains two or more solenoids that control the flow of hot and cold water individually. A defective water inlet valve can cause a variety of problems in your washer.
