Whirlpool 285827 Inlet Valve Kit with Hoses

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL 285827 is an OEM inlet valve kit with hoses designed for use in Whirlpool washing machines. The inlet valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the wash tub, opening and closing in response to electrical signals from the washer control system. This kit includes the valve assembly and the connecting hoses needed for a complete replacement. It is manufactured to original equipment specifications, making it a direct-fit service part. Appliance repair technicians and plumbers install this component when diagnosing slow fill, no-fill, or continuous-fill conditions caused by a failed inlet valve.

This inlet valve kit is intended for residential Whirlpool washing machine applications. It is a practical replacement for units experiencing water inlet failure due to solenoid wear, sediment buildup, or seal degradation over time. The included hoses reduce the need for sourcing separate supply-side components during a standard valve replacement service call.
