Whirlpool WPW10130506 Water Inlet Valve Oem

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10130506 is a genuine OEM water inlet valve designed to control the flow of water into a washing machine or dishwasher. This solenoid-operated valve opens and closes on command from the appliance control board, allowing water to fill the tub or wash chamber at the correct time in the cycle. It is a direct factory replacement part manufactured by Whirlpool. Appliance technicians and experienced DIYers install this valve when the original unit fails to open, fails to close, or leaks at the valve body.

This water inlet valve is used in residential washing machines and dishwashers that call for the WPW10130506 as a replacement component. It is suited for repair scenarios where the appliance is not filling with water, is overfilling, or is dripping during the off cycle — all common symptoms of a failed inlet valve. Installation is straightforward and typically requires no special tools beyond basic hand tools and a towel for residual water drainage.
