Tub does not fill with water or fills extremely slowly on any cycle — solenoid coil has failed open circuit.
Water keeps running into the tub non-stop even when the washer is off or between cycles — valve stuck open.
Bleach or prewash detergent compartment fails to flush because the corresponding solenoid coil is not activating.
Water drips or pools behind the machine due to cracked valve body, degraded gaskets, or damaged inlet port connections.
Machine only partially fills, causing poor wash performance because one coil is intermittently failing.
💡 Pro Tip: Diagnosing a Faulty Water Inlet Valve
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer tub fills very slowly or not at all during any cycle
⚠️ Water keeps running into the tub continuously even when the machine is off
⚠️ Bleach or prewash dispenser compartment does not flush properly
⚠️ Visible water drips or leaks around the rear inlet valve area
🔍 Technician tip: Before replacing, check that the household water supply hoses are fully open and the inlet screens are not clogged with sediment. If flow is confirmed but the tub still won't fill, test each solenoid coil with a multimeter — an open circuit (infinite resistance) confirms the valve has failed and needs replacement. Do NOT attempt to clean a failed valve; internal damage is usually not visible.
