GE Washer Water Inlet Valve Parts — Models & Compatibility

Your GE washer won't fill, or worse — it won't stop filling and you're watching water overflow onto the floor. The triple water inlet valve (WH13X10026) controls hot, warm, and cold water flow into your washer drum. When it fails, you'll see water dripping into the tub even when the machine's off, or the washer sits there empty while the timer advances through the cycle.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

This valve fits over 100 GE and Hotpoint washer models, primarily in the WLSR, WHDSR, WDRR, VWSR, and VLSR series. Your model number's stamped on a metal plate — check inside the washer lid or on the back panel near the top. Match your full model number (letters and numbers) against the compatibility list below. If your washer's stuck on fill or leaking when it shouldn't be running, and your model's listed here, you've found your fix.

About This Replacement Part

The WH13X10026 is a three-port solenoid valve that opens and closes to control water temperature and volume. It typically fails from sediment buildup in the screens or worn solenoid coils that no longer seal properly. You'll know it's bad when cold water won't run into the washer at all, when the machine keeps filling past the correct water level, or when you find water pooling in the drum between wash cycles. One repair tech noted: "I bought the triple water valve took no more than a half a hour and now it works great" — this is genuinely one of the easier washer repairs you can tackle yourself.

This valve replaces part numbers AP3995044, PS1482390, 1264510, and AH1482390. It requires basic hand tools (pliers, screwdrivers, nut drivers) and takes 15-30 minutes to swap out. You'll shut off the water supply, disconnect three hoses from the old valve, remove two mounting screws, unplug the wire harness, then reverse the process with the new valve. Most DIYers watch a quick YouTube video and knock this repair out in under an hour.

Common Failure Symptoms

• No hot or cold water entering the drum
• Washer won't stop filling — overflows or advances while still filling
• Water dripping into tub when washer's completely off
• Leaking water from the valve area when not in use
• Cold water cycle works but hot water doesn't (or vice versa)
