Sample Model Number Tags
Model numbers can be made up of numbers (1005400, for example) or a combination of letters and numbers (LAT1000AAE). The model number will most likely appear on either a paper sticker or a metal plate. Your appliance's model number tag may look similar to the sample model number tags shown here (model number highlighted in yellow):
This water inlet valve is usually located behind the lower kickplate panel in either the right or left corner of the dishwasher. The attaching solenoids on the valve open and close according to the desired amount of water needed. The water inlet valve on your dishwasher supplies water to the dishwasher. If your dishwasher is leaking because it has overflowed, the water inlet valve may be the cause. If your dishwasher continues to fill above the heating element, try opening the door latch to see if it stops filling. If it continues to fill, you have a defective inlet valve that will need to be replaced.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Why buy the real thing?
OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. Simply put, this means that the company who made your appliance is also supplying the replacement part for it.

leaking dishwasher at valve
Yep, this was exactly the part I needed. All the other reviews are pretty much spot on. 2 screws, accessible from front. Remove electrical connection, plumbing hoses... Tight area to work in, but easier than removing the entire dishwasher from the cabinets. Don't forget the teflon tape for the brass fitting. About 30 to 40 minutes time. Part came in a couple of days. Thank you for the part, shipping, and blog comments from others!

The Part Worked Perfectly
I purchased a water inlet valve to repair a dishwasher that wasn’t filling. The bracket for this part was slightly different than the original but still fit and worked perfectly. Great price and will definitely purchase more parts in the future.

Leaky water inlet valve
The Inlet valve was leaking. I removed the old valve in less than 30 min.Note: need bright flashlight!

Again, I was able to manipulate the new valve back in & tighten then test everything.(note: need a bright flashlight to see underneath) I immediately ran a load of dishes and Presto! No leaks and runs like a Swiss watch!

dishwasher was leaking
Located where the dishwasher was leaking from and by referencing the parts catalog determined that it was the water valve. I ordered the part from Parts select and replaced the part when it arrived. Replacing the part was very easy and I now have a working dishwasher again.

Dishwasher ran through cycle but no water ever entered the washer.
Turned off water & pulled plug from electrical outlet. Two screws removed the lower cover, two more screws hidden behind the opened door allowed the removal of the bottom panel. Laid a towel under the valve on the lower left to catch water & disconnected the inlet fitting with a 1/2" wrench. Remove the two screws holding water inlet valve
... Read more next. With valve loose, remove electrical connector and drain hose (pliers). Valve has an elbow fitting that will need to be removed and installed on new valve - use Teflon tape or paste for a leak-free assembly. Reattach the drain hose & electrical connector before installing the valve using the two screws. Once in place, re-attach the inlet fitting (no Teflon required on tapered seats) and make sure everything is tight. Test washer through one cycle for water flow and no leaks. If all is good, remove towel and tools, then re-install the two lower panels. Clean up and you are done!

No water during wash cycle, steam only
After checking various forums and advice, the suggested repair was a new water inlet valve. It was easy to change but I wasted $30 as it did not cure the problem.

The dishwasher had not been running for a few days. I noticed water dripping in the basement and it appears that is coming from the water inlet valve. Is this repairable or does it need to be replaced?
For model number Fghd2465nf0a
Hi Greg,
Thank you for your question. If there is water leaking from the water inlet valve, you will need to replace it. There is a video listed with the water inlet valve on our website that you may reference on how to install it. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

My dishwasher overflowed check the float switch it is good, how can i be sure i need to replace my inlet valve. Thanks
For model number FDB4315LFC1
Hi Dean,
Thank you for your question. You would be able to test your water inlet valve with a multi meter to see if it is malfunctioning or not. When testing your valve, if your meter does not change at all that means that your part has no continuity and will need to be replaced. Good luck with your repair.

The continuity reading on my intake valve is 1221-1234. From my quick online research that is moderate resistance but too high for this application. What is the range for adequate functioning of this part?
For model number PLDB998AC1
Hi Miguel,
Thank you for your question. Actually your water inlet valve should show a reading between 500 - 1500 ohms. So with those readings, your valve is working fine. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Every time we close the door on our Frigidaire dishwasher it fills with water. It stops when the door is open. But will continuously fill with water anytime the door is closed. What could the problem be?
For model number FGHD2465NF1A
Hello Lyman, thank you for your question. The first part you will want to check in this kind of situation is the water fill valve. It sounds like the water valve is stuck in an open position. Checking a water valve is very easy. Use your multitester to test the valve for continuity. Set the device to the ohms setting x 1. Touch each of the meter's probes to a terminal. If you receive a reading of infinity, it means the valve's solenoid is faulty and the valve needs to be replaced. If your valve has two solenoids (four terminals), test the second pair of terminals in the same manner. If either pair of terminals receives a result of infinity, replace the water inlet valve. You do not have to remove the water inlet valve from the dishwasher in order to test it. Just make sure power is not getting to your dishwasher before you conduct the test. If the valve is not faulty, the issue is most likely the control board, as that board is what runs the cycles on the unit and acts like a timer, it could be stuck in a fill setting The water valve for your appliance is part number 154637401 and the board is part number 154886103. I hope this helps!

The dishwasher seems to be working and running full cycles however. No water is coming in. I have removed all traps and cleaned them out again. Still nothing. Could it be the inlet valve not allowing water in?
For model number FDB956RBC0
Hello Lourdes, Thank you for the question. In most cases if no water is filling the tub, the water inlet valve would need to be replaced. Hope this helps!

Why would the top not spin.
For model number fdb510lcs0
Hi Jannell,
Thank you for your question. If the upper spray arm is not turning, then it is likely clogged with debris and it will need to be cleaned. To clean the spray arm, remove it from the dishwasher and place it in a solution of dishsoap, 1 cup of vinegar and warm water and let it soak until the debris has loosened. If there are mineral deposits from hard water, soak it in vinegar. Use an old toothbrush, or other scrubbers to clean the surfaces of the arm. Also, use toothpicks or some other tool that you can use to remove any build up from the holes. Once the arm has been thoroughly cleaned, reattach it inside the dishwasher. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.
