The Whirlpool WPW10247305 is an essential component of your washing machine, specifically the water inlet valve. As a gatekeeper, this valve regulates how much water enters the washer at several phases of the washing cycle.The washer's control board sends electrical impulses to it, which cause the valve to open and let water into the machine. Depending on the chosen cycle and water level settings, solenoid coils inside the valve control the flow of water. A malfunctioning water inlet valve can cause a number of issues, such as inadequate filling, spilling, or no water intake at all. Replacing a faulty valve with the WPW10247305 provides appropriate water control throughout the wash cycle, reducing water wastage and restoring optimal washing performance to your Whirlpool appliance.
