Washing machine water inlet valves replacement in Nairobi Kenya

What Is a Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve?

The washing machine water inlet valve on your washer is the part that connects the two water hoses to the machine, and it controls the flow of both hot and cold water.

There is little that you can do to repair the valve itself, but you can try to clean the two inlet ports to restore full water flow. You can also conduct tests to determine whether the water inlet valve has failed and needs to be replaced. Replacing a bad valve can be a simple job if you are a comfortable DIYer, but it must be done with parts and procedures that are specific to your washing machine model. In this case, it can be worth fixing a washing machine rather than buying a new appliance.

How a Water Inlet Valve Works

The water inlet valve has two threaded ports that are connected to hot and cold water hoses at the back of the washing machine. Each port is controlled by a solenoid valve that sends electric power to open and close the flow of hot and cold water based on settings for the wash temperature and signals from the water-level switch.

Fixing a water inlet valve is a matter of systematically examining the parts until you find the problem. Sometimes the fix will be simply cleaning the filter screens, but it might require replacement of the entire valve.
