W11101906 / W11210463 Washer Water Inlet Valve

Key Features

• Dual-Solenoid Temperature Control: Features independent hot and cold water solenoid valves that allow the washer to precisely mix water temperatures based on the selected cycle.
• Integrated Thermistor Sensor: Includes a built-in temperature sensor (thermistor) that provides real-time feedback to the washer's control board for Automatic Temperature Control (ATC).
• High-Flow Design: Engineered to maximize water flow into the tub, reducing cycle times and ensuring detergent is properly dissolved during the fill stage.
• Corrosion-Resistant Inlets: Constructed with heavy-duty threaded inlets designed to provide a leak-proof seal with standard 3/4-inch garden hose thread (GHT) washing machine hoses.
• Reinforced Plastic Housing: The valve body is manufactured from high-impact, heat-stabilized polymer to prevent cracking under high-pressure water hammer or temperature fluctuations.

Compatibility & Fitment

This water inlet valve is a standard component for many modern top-load washers manufactured by Whirlpool. Key compatible brands include:

• Whirlpool: Fits a wide range of Cabrio and standard HE top-load models (e.g., WTW series).
• Maytag: Compatible with many Bravos, Centennial, and Commercial-grade series (e.g., MVW series).
• Amana: Direct replacement for various modern top-load models (e.g., NTW series).
• Kenmore / Sears: Fits models with a "110" prefix (manufactured by Whirlpool).
• Note: This valve is designed for HE (High-Efficiency) models that utilize a thermistor on the valve. Please check your original part to ensure it has the same electrical connector.

When to Replace

• Washer Not Filling: The machine hums during the fill cycle, but no water enters the tub, indicating the solenoid coils have failed.
• "LF" or "F8 E1" Error Codes: These codes specifically indicate a "Long Fill" or a water supply problem, often caused by a failing inlet valve.
• Washer Overfilling or Leaking: Water continues to trickle into the tub even when the machine is turned off, indicating an internal seal in the valve has failed.
• Wrong Water Temperature: The wash is always cold or always hot regardless of settings, suggesting the thermistor or one of the solenoids is defective.
• Noisy Filling: A loud vibrating or "jackhammer" sound during the fill cycle often points to a valve that is struggling to open against water pressure.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: CRITICAL: Unplug the washer and turn off both the hot and cold water supply faucets before starting the repair.
• Label the Hoses: PRO TIP: Use a piece of tape to mark which hose is "Hot" and which is "Cold" before disconnecting them to ensure the new valve is plumbed correctly.
• Clear the Lines: Before connecting the new valve, briefly turn on the faucets into a bucket to flush out any sediment or rust in the supply hoses. This prevents the new valve screens from clogging immediately.
• Hand Tighten: Always start the hose connections by hand to avoid cross-threading the plastic inlets. Once hand-tight, use pliers to tighten an additional 1/4 to 1/2 turn.
• Check the Connector: Ensure the multi-pin wire harness is pressed firmly into the valve until it "clicks." A loose connection will prevent the sensor from communicating with the control board.
