Hotpoint Dishwasher Inlet Valve

The solenoid valve that lets water into the dishwasher and closes when it is full.

Signs it has failed

• The dishwasher does not fill or fills slowly
• It keeps filling or leaks water into the base
• A humming valve with no water
• A flood warning or the cycle stopping early

Check before you buy

• Make sure the tap is fully open and the hose is not kinked
• Clean the small mesh filter in the valve inlet
• Check for limescale build-up on the valve

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

1. Unplug the dishwasher and turn the water off
2. Remove the kickboard or lower panel to reach the valve
3. Disconnect the hose, unplug the coil and release the valve
4. Fit the new valve and reconnect everything
5. Turn the water on slowly, check for leaks and run a test cycle

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Valves vary by connector, coil voltage and outlet. Match the part number or your model number.
