GE & Kenmore Washer Water Inlet Valve Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your GE or Kenmore washer isn't filling with water—or worse, you've got water pooling behind the machine—you're likely dealing with a failed inlet valve. The WH13X27314 dual coil water inlet valve controls both hot and cold water supply to your washer drum, and when it fails, you'll know it immediately. This hub covers the direct replacement valve for GE GUD-series unitized washer/dryer combos and select Kenmore models that share the same platform.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

This valve fits GE unitized laundry centers in the GUD24 and GUD27 series, plus Kenmore models starting with 266153. Check your model number—it's on a sticker inside the washer door opening or on the back panel. Match your full model number against the compatibility list below. If you've got a GUD24ESSM0WW or GUD27GSPM1DG, you're in the right place. Don't guess—wrong valve means you're doing this job twice.

About This Replacement Part

The WH13X27314 is a dual-coil electric valve that opens when your washer's control board sends power during fill cycles. Each coil controls one temperature—hot or cold. This valve replaces older part numbers AP6328292, WH13X10064, and PS12343369, so if you've found any of those numbers in your service manual, this is your current replacement. The two most common failure modes are complete blockage (no water flow at all) and valve leaking from cracked housing or worn seals. If you're seeing puddles behind the machine or your washer sits there humming but never fills, the inlet valve is the first component to check before you start pulling pumps or pressure switches.

Common Failure Symptoms

Leaking from the back of the machine is the obvious one—water dripping from the valve body means internal seals have failed. But the more frustrating symptom is no water flow. Your washer starts its cycle, you hear it click, but nothing happens. No hot water, no cold water, just a confused machine that eventually times out. Sometimes you'll get cold water but no hot, which means one coil in the valve has burned out while the other still works. Don't waste time checking hoses or supply valves—if water pressure is good at the wall but nothing reaches the tub, it's this valve.

Compatible Models

This valve works across GE's unitized washer/dryer lineup and related Kenmore rebadges. The compatibility list includes 20+ models, primarily in apartment and condo installations where space-saving combo units are standard. Model coverage spans multiple production years, so even older GUD-series machines use this same valve design.

Installation Overview

You'll need to pull the washer away from the wall to access the back panel. Shut off both hot and cold water supplies at the wall valves, then disconnect the inlet hoses. The valve typically mounts with two screws and has wire connectors that pull straight off the coil terminals. Before you install the new valve, flush your supply hoses—sediment buildup is what kills these valves prematurely. When you reconnect everything, check for leaks before you push the machine back into place. Run a test cycle and watch the valve during fill to confirm both hot and cold water flow properly.
