This Part Fixes These Problems

Washer Won't Fill

Washer does not take in water on any cycle setting (cold, warm, or hot) due to failed solenoid coil inside the valve.

No Hot Water

Machine fills only with cold water; the hot-water solenoid port has lost continuity and no longer opens.

Continuous Filling / Overflow

Tub keeps filling past the set level or fills when the machine is off because a solenoid is stuck in the open position.

Slow or Partial Fill

Long fill cycles caused by a restricted or clogged valve that cannot be cleaned — only replacement resolves this.

Water Dripping After Cycle

Residual water drips into the tub between cycles or after power-off, indicating a valve that fails to fully close.

Fills and Drains Simultaneously

Water enters and exits the tub at the same time, often traced back to a valve that remains partially open during the drain phase.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Water Inlet Valve Failing?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ Washer won't fill at all on any setting (cold, warm, or hot)

⚠️ Only cold water fills — no hot water even with correct setting

⚠️ Washer fills and drains simultaneously during the cycle

⚠️ Tub overflows or won't stop filling after cycle ends

⚠️ Water drips or leaks into the tub when the washer is off

🔍 Quick Field Test: Unplug the washer the moment you observe the symptom. If the tub continues to fill with power disconnected, the inlet valve solenoid is stuck open and must be replaced — do not attempt to clean or rebuild it, replace the entire valve assembly.

Questions & Answers

Will this valve work on my Kenmore 80 Series top-load washer?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. Part 285805 is a direct fit for Kenmore 80 Series and many other Kenmore top-load models manufactured by Whirlpool. Please verify your full model number against the compatibility list before ordering. Common fitting Kenmore models include 110.16872691, 110.18702791, 110.19101990, and similar series numbers.
My washer fills with cold water but not hot — is this the right part to fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
Almost certainly yes. This valve contains two independent solenoids — one for hot water and one for cold. When the hot-water solenoid fails, only cold water enters the machine. You can confirm this by testing the hot solenoid terminals for continuity with a multimeter: no continuity means the solenoid is faulty. Because the solenoids are not sold separately, replacing the complete valve assembly (285805) is the correct repair.
What is the difference between 285805 and 285805VP?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
285805VP is simply an alternative vendor packaging suffix for the same valve. Both part numbers refer to the identical water inlet valve assembly with the same specifications, port dimensions, and solenoid configuration. Our replacement is fully interchangeable with both numbers.
Does this valve come with the mounting bracket, and can the bracket be removed?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
Yes — the mounting bracket is included with the valve. It attaches at the rear of the washer cabinet with two screws. If your specific model mounts the valve without a bracket, the bracket can be detached without affecting the valve's function or sealing integrity.
Can I clean the valve instead of replacing it when the fill cycle becomes slow?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
No — cleaning is not recommended and will not resolve the issue reliably. The internal solenoid diaphragm and seat can deteriorate in ways not visible from the outside, and disassembling the valve makes future failure more likely. When a slow or restricted fill is diagnosed, the correct fix is a full valve replacement. This is consistent with guidance from major parts suppliers including RepairClinic and PartSelect.
