This water inlet valve should be located behind the lower kickplate panel in either the right or left corner. The attaching solenoids on the valve open and close according to the desired amount of water needed. NOTE: As per the manufacture this part has been updated from the original part. It may be a different color, and you may need to order an elbow (# W10685193) for the new designed valve to work.

Worked beautifully!
First,I received the part in a few days and I was expecting delays so I was pleasantly surprised. The part worked like a charm no more leaks! I should have bought the adapter that was recommended but found one at a local hardware easily. Thanks!

Part Didn't Fit
the original part for my dishwasher had a hose-type end but the new part did not. I had a hose end that fit the part so was able to use. After switching out the part works fine.

Fixed the leak!
After having severe cold temps, there was a freeze in the line, due to being on an outside wall. After it thawed, there was a consistent leak from the dishwasher which fortunately was solved on first try fortunately with the Water Inlet Valve.

Water won't fill for washer to start.
Determined the problem to be the water inlet valve. Researched the Part Number per Google and Whirlpool Customer Service. Part Number W10844024 with connector recommend by video. I used U Tube video for PN W10844024 by this site to show me to the repair. It was excellent.
Very noisy on heavy wash cycles started and stopped when filling
repair was very easy did need to go to the hardware store for and adapter for the hose to water inlet valve as mine had a smaller diameter connector. Otherwise followed both videos. Needed a shopvac to remove water in the bottom of the dishwasher
After doing some research in a repair book I decided to take a stab with a water inlet valve. With expedited shipping I ordered the part and within three days it was delivered. I installed it and the dishwasher seemed like it was trying to fill but still would not. After much cocnsternation I turned the water supply valve to the dishwash
... Read moreer a partial turn to close and I felt the water rush through the valve and the dishwasher then filled. Apparently the shut off valve must have been clogged plus it now leaked. I then replaced the shutoff valve and the copper pipe to the water inlet valve with flexible 3/8" tubing and the dishwasher thus far is running fine without leaks.

Old valve failed and started to leak.
Pulled off the old valve using a crescent wrench and screw driver. The replacement part was a 100% exact match. Slapped on the new valve and that baby was water tight. $50 on a new valve is a lot better than $500 for a new washer.

No water coming into dishwasher
I unscrewed the old water inlet valve from the frame of the dishwasher so that I could manuever my hand around to the backside where the rubber hose was connected. That was the easy part. I then had trouble holding the old valve while trying to unscrew the hot water copper tubing so I screwed it back on the frame. My dishwasher is clo

My unit is not filling, i have checked the input water to the water inlet valve and have sufficient water pressure. I removed the the valve and disassembled and found the inlet filter clogged with calcium deposits. Removed all the calcium deposits blocking the wire mesh filter and disassembled the rest of the valve with no further finding as far as the physical valve goes. I then checked the continuity of the solenoid coil and found its resistance to fluctuate in the meg ohms, i presume that this high resistance is not allowing the coil to properly energize and open the valve.So now my question is, what is the nominal resistance of the coil on a new part?? for reference. thank you in advance for your reply.
For model number DU800CWDB5
Hi Darrell,
Thank you for your question. When you have the multimeter set to the Rx1 setting, the reading for the water inlet valve should be between 100 and 1000 ohms. If the reading is over 1000 ohms, then you will need to replace the water inlet valve. We hope this helps! If you have any questions, please let us know.

Dishwasher starts, runs for about 2 minutes, then shuts off. Doesn’t appear to be filling with water
For model number KUDS24SEBS3
Hi Curtis, Thank you for the question. If the appliance will not fill with water I suggest replacing the Water Inlet Valve. If the valve is defective it will not let water through to fill the tub. Hope this helps!

Water runs into dishwasher before cycle even starts continuously
For model number 665.13593K600
Hi Josh,
Thank you for your question. If your dishwasher is filling with water when it is not on then you will need to check the impeller as it may be worn down. You will also need to check the water inlet valve to see if it is working correctly as well. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My Whirlpool recently stopped filling up with water. It still heats up and drains when i put water in it but still no water and it doesn’t look like the water hole is clogged. I read the inlet valve might need to be changed. If that’s the case to i have to by the extra valve for the updated inlet valves now sold? Any help would be great.
For model number DU810DWGQ2
Hello Jared, thank you for your question. It does sound like the issue is the water valve. If no water is coming into the unit you can test the valve to see if its faulty before ordering. I would recommend ordering the Elbow Hose Fitting part number W10685193 just in case. Its hard to tell which models need the fitting and which ones do not. I hope this helps!

How do i know if i need the elbow it mentions?
For model number DU900PCDB6
Hello Sascha, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, its hard to determine which unit will need the elbow and which do not. However, we do know that If the valve does not use a standard hose type thread on the valve the adapter is used. Please see our installation video at the following link!

My 26-year-old KitchenAid dishwasher's original water inlet valve was OEM W10327248. I have replaced it once in the past with no problem; however, it has been replaced by W10844024. The problem is that the line taking the water to the dishwasher is now on the wrong side. (This is the line with the push-on hose and wire clamp.) Is there a way to use this part?
For model number KUDS24SEWH2
Hi Ron,
Thank you for your question. We have included a link to one of our YouTube videos that you may reference on how to install the water inlet valve. The washer in the video may appear different from yours, but it will give you a general idea on how to install the part. We hope this helps with the repair!

I am having water pooling in the bottom of the dishwasher after it finishes running. I can hit drain/cancel and it will finish draining the remainder of the water.
Additionally, I took the panel off to observe while draining/running and it sprays a fine mist from the middle of dishwasher. Should I bother fixing this thing or just get a new one?
For model number DU960PWKT0
Hello Andrew, thank you for your inquiry. Based on the description that you have provided, we would recommend replacing the drain pump, part number PS3500989. Before replacing the pump, make sure the drain hose is properly aligned and the drain filter is clean. We hope this information is useful!
Water inlet valve, I need the outlet part that seats with the o ring and 4 little bolts hold it together I just need that little brass part on the end of the valve

My dishwasher whistles after filling at start of cleaning cycle. After a few minutes whistling goes away and washer functions properly
For model number DU943PWKT0
Hi Dan, thank you for your question. Usually when you are getting a whining noise in your machine it has to do either with your drain pump or the motor of your appliance. I would suggest taking a look at those two parts first. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
