W11101906 Water Inlet Valve: Specifications and Function
The W11101906 Whirlpool washer water inlet valve is a water supply component designed for select Whirlpool and related-brand top-load washing machines. It connects to the washer’s water supply and controls the flow of water into the tub during the wash cycle.
Specifications:
- Part Number: W11101906
- Part Type: Washer Water Inlet Valve
- Appliance: Washing Machine
- Application: Select top-load washers
- Brands: Whirlpool and compatible models from related brands
- Function: Controls water flow into the washer
- Installation: Connects to the household water supply and washer fill system
- Replacement: Verify the complete washer model number before ordering
Function:
The water inlet valve receives an electrical signal from the washer’s control system and opens to allow water to enter the machine. Depending on the washer design and cycle, the valve controls the appropriate water supply during the filling process.
When the valve closes, it stops the water flow. A defective, clogged, or electrically failed inlet valve may cause symptoms such as slow filling, no water entering the washer, filling with only one water temperature, or continuous water flow.
Because these symptoms can also be caused by blocked inlet screens, kinked hoses, low water pressure, wiring problems, or the washer’s control system, the inlet valve should be properly diagnosed before replacement.
