Please check your appliance model number and compare the original valve (outlet angle, bore size and connector type) before ordering.
Repair Difficulty
Moderate. Fitting a new inlet valve usually means isolating the water supply and electricity, removing the machine's rear or top panel, and disconnecting the hose and spade connectors before transferring or replacing the valve on its bracket.
Typical Tools Required
- Screwdriver
- Pliers or a small spanner for the hose fitting
- A towel to catch residual water
Description
A washing machine that won't fill, fills slowly, or shows a water-related fault code is often let down by a worn or failed inlet valve rather than a problem with the household water supply. Limescale build-up, a worn diaphragm or a failed solenoid coil can all stop the valve opening and closing as it should, and in some cases the valve can fail in the open position, causing a slow drip even when the machine is switched off.
Before ordering, compare your existing valve to the specification here: a 180 degree outlet angle, a 12mm bore and spade/tag electrical connectors. Because this valve pattern has been used across many brands and model ranges, checking these three details against your original part is the most reliable way to confirm fit, even if your exact model is not listed above.
Electrical or gas appliance parts should only be fitted by a suitably competent person. Always isolate the appliance before inspection or repair and ensure correct safety checks are carried out after fitting.
Brand names, model numbers and part numbers are used for identification and compatibility guidance only. This part should be checked against the original appliance model number and existing part before ordering.
Replacing a faulty appliance part can help extend the life of your appliance and reduce unnecessary waste.
