Washer fails to take in water at the start of a cycle, displays 4E or 4C error code — a clogged or failed solenoid in the inlet valve is the most common cause.
Water trickles in and the cycle takes far longer than normal; often caused by a partially stuck-closed valve diaphragm or clogged inlet screen.
Washer keeps filling beyond the set water level or continues to fill when paused — a valve diaphragm stuck in the open position is the typical culprit.
Visible dripping or pooling of water at the back of the machine even when the washer is off, indicating a cracked valve body or failed internal seal.
Unexpected water found in the drum or fabric softener dispenser before a cycle starts, caused by a valve that is not sealing fully when de-energized.
💡 Pro Tip: How to Know Your Water Inlet Valve Has Failed
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer won't fill with water or fills very slowly (4E / 4C error code on display)
⚠️ Washer keeps filling and won't stop — tub overflows or fills during pause
⚠️ Visible water dripping from the rear of the washer even when it is not running
⚠️ Fabric softener dispenser has unexpected water in it before you add softener
🔬 Diagnostic tip: Unplug the washer and use a multimeter to test each solenoid coil on the valve. A healthy coil reads roughly 200–500 Ω. An open (infinite) or shorted (near-zero) reading confirms valve failure. Also, if water continues to drip into the drum even with the power cord unplugged, the valve diaphragm has failed mechanically — replacement is the only fix (do not attempt to clean a failed valve).
