XPARTCO W11210459 Washer Water Inlet Valve
XPARTCO W11210459 Washer Water Inlet Valve
The XPARTCO W11210459 is an aftermarket replacement washer water inlet valve assembly compatible with select Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Amana, Crosley, Inglis, and Roper top-load washers in the WTW4xxx, WTW5xxx, MVWC4xx, MVWC5xx, NTW, and related series. The water inlet valve is a solenoid-operated valve mounted on the back of the washer that controls the flow of water from the household supply lines into the washer tub. When the control board calls for water during a fill or rinse cycle, it energizes the valve's solenoid coil to open the valve and allow water to flow in. When the correct water level is reached, the solenoid de-energizes and the valve closes.
When the water inlet valve fails, the washer may not fill with water at all, fill too slowly, fill with an incorrect temperature, overfill, or drip water into the tub when it should be closed. This valve assembly directly replaces W10701459, W10838319, W10869799, W11025984, W11038711, W11210459VP, AP6329217, and PS12349267. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Washer not filling with water at all when a cycle is started
- Washer filling very slowly — taking much longer than normal to reach the correct water level
- Washer filling with only cold water on a warm or hot cycle — or only hot on a cold cycle
- Washer overfilling or filling continuously — valve stuck open
- Water dripping or trickling into the tub when the washer is not running

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the W11210459 and the W10683603 water inlet valves?
Both are Whirlpool-platform top-load washer water inlet valves, but they are different assemblies for different model generations and are not interchangeable. The W10683603 (WPW10683603) is a larger dual-valve assembly with an integrated thermistor and vacuum break, used on older Whirlpool-family top-load models. The W11210459 is a newer valve assembly used on more recent Whirlpool WTW4xxx/WTW5xxx and Maytag MVWC series top-load washers. Always use your specific model number to confirm which valve is correct for your washer before ordering.
How do I know if the water inlet valve has failed?
Common signs of a failed water inlet valve are the washer not filling with water, filling very slowly, filling only on one temperature setting, overfilling, or water dripping into the tub when the washer is off. You can test the valve's solenoid coils with a multimeter — each coil should show a resistance reading (typically 200–500 ohms) rather than open circuit. A coil reading open circuit has failed. Before testing the valve, check that the household water supply is fully open, the fill hoses are not kinked, and the inlet screens inside the valve ports are not clogged with mineral deposits.
What are the small screens inside the valve inlet ports for?
The small mesh screens inside the hot and cold water inlet ports of the valve are sediment filters that prevent mineral deposits and debris from the household water supply from reaching the valve seats and solenoid mechanisms. Over time — especially in areas with hard water — these screens can become clogged with mineral buildup and restrict water flow, causing the same slow-fill symptoms as a failed valve. Before replacing the valve, remove and inspect the inlet screens. If they are clogged, clean them with a soft brush and white vinegar or replace them. If cleaning the screens does not restore normal fill speed, the valve itself needs replacement.
My washer fills with only cold water — is the water inlet valve the cause?
Filling with only cold water when a warm or hot cycle is selected usually points to the hot water solenoid coil having failed. Each solenoid controls one temperature port independently — a failed hot coil means only the cold port opens. Test both solenoid coils with a multimeter as described above. Also check that your household hot water supply valve is fully open and that hot water is reaching the back of the washer in the supply hose before assuming the valve has failed.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine Whirlpool OEM part, but is manufactured to match the specifications and performance of the original W11210459 water inlet valve assembly.
