The solenoid coil has failed open — valve never energizes, so no water enters the tub. Replacing the valve assembly restores normal fill operation.
Partially failed solenoid or clogged inlet screen restricts water flow, leaving the tub only half full. A new valve with clean screens resolves the issue.
A worn valve seat or debris trapped in the solenoid prevents the valve from closing fully, causing a continuous drip into the tub even when the washer is unplugged.
One coil (hot or cold) has failed, causing only single-temperature fill. The dual-coil design of the WH13X26534 controls both hot and cold supplies independently — replacing restores correct temperature blending.
Heat-weakened coil windings cause the valve to open and close erratically mid-cycle, leading to uneven wash performance. A new valve eliminates this random interruption.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Diagnose a Faulty Water Inlet Valve
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer will not fill with water or fills very slowly
⚠️ Water drips or trickles into the tub when the washer is off or unplugged
⚠️ Washer only fills halfway or stops filling mid-cycle
⚠️ Incorrect wash temperature — water too hot, too cold, or inconsistent
🔬 Quick Test: Disconnect power, remove the valve, and test each solenoid coil with a multimeter. A healthy coil reads approximately 200–500 Ω. An open or shorted coil confirms valve failure. Also inspect the inlet filter screens for mineral buildup — clogged screens cause slow-fill symptoms identical to a failed valve.
