Solenoid coil failure prevents the valve from opening, causing the drum to receive no water at cycle start.
Clogged inlet screens or a weak solenoid restricts water flow, resulting in underfilling and poor wash performance.
A valve stuck in the open position allows water to flow uncontrolled into the tub even when the machine is powered off.
A failed hot or cold coil prevents the valve from balancing temperature, causing cycles to run entirely cold or too hot.
Cracked valve body or degraded internal seals cause water to leak from the back of the machine near the supply hose connections.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Water Inlet Valve Failing?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Washer drum does not fill with water at the start of a cycle
⚠️ Drum fills very slowly or only partially before the cycle begins
⚠️ Water continues to flow into the tub even when the machine is off (valve stuck open)
⚠️ Error codes related to water supply or temperature on GFW850 / GFW650 control panels
🔍 Diagnostic tip: Set your multimeter to resistance (Ω) mode and probe each solenoid coil terminal pair. A healthy coil reads approximately 200–500 Ω. An open circuit (OL) or near-zero reading confirms a failed coil — replace the valve assembly.
