No hot or cold water enters the tub at the start of a cycle. Failed solenoid coils prevent the valve from opening, cutting off water supply entirely.
The control board detects insufficient water flow and throws an F8 E1 fault, halting the cycle. Replacing the inlet valve clears the error and restores normal operation.
Water keeps running into the drum even when the washer is paused or off. A stuck-open solenoid coil inside the valve allows uncontrolled water flow.
One temperature of water fills correctly while the other does not. A single failed solenoid coil within the multi-coil valve body causes one inlet port to stop responding.
The cold water supply hose jumps and bangs during the fill cycle. A weakened solenoid causes erratic valve actuation, sending pressure pulses back through the supply lines.
Water drips or pools beneath the washer near the back panel. Mineral buildup and seal deterioration inside the valve body cause water to leak from the inlet ports or housing.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Water Inlet Valve the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer shows F8 E1 error code and stops mid-cycle
⚠️ Tub keeps filling with water even when washer is off
⚠️ No hot or cold water entering the drum at all
⚠️ Cold water hose bangs or jumps during fill (water hammer)
🔍 Quick test: Disconnect the water supply hoses and check the inlet screens for mineral buildup first. If screens are clear and the issue persists, the solenoid coils inside the valve have likely failed — replace the entire valve assembly. Always unplug the washer and shut off both hot and cold water supplies before starting the repair.
