The Whirlpool WP34001151 is a water inlet valve that is designed exclusively for Whirlpool washing machines. It's a crucial component that controls how much hot and cold water the machine takes in for different wash cycles.The valve receives electrical signals from the washer's control board, which open and close solenoids to adjust water flow based on the program chosen. This guarantees that the washer doesn't waste water or run longer cycles by using just the right amount of water for a complete and effective clean. By replacing a broken WP34001151 valve, you may restore appropriate water control in your Whirlpool washing machine, resulting in better washing performance and potentially lower water bills.
