Washing Machine Cold Water Inlet Valve

The W11168740 Inlet Valve regulates the entry of cold water into the washing machine during fill cycles. When the control board commands it, this valve opens to admit water, then closes to stop flow, helping maintain proper fill levels and prevent leaks.

Key Features:

• Single (cold) solenoid valve designed for 120 VAC operation

• Accepts standard hose fitting inlet and provides one outlet for distribution to the tub

• Built-in diaphragm and sealing components to resist wear and prevent leakage under normal operating pressure

• Compact, drop-in replacement design with matching mounting and electrical connection footprints

• Direct replacement for W11168740, WPW10240949, W10240949, W10921514 and associated cross-reference numbers

• Compatible with certain Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, and related top-load washer models that list W11168740 as the fill valve component
