Hotpoint Washing Machine Water Inlet Valve

The solenoid valve that opens to let water into the machine at the right moment and closes it afterwards.

Signs it has failed

• The machine does not fill or fills very slowly
• It keeps filling when switched off, or water drips into the drum
• A humming valve with no water, or visible leaks at the back
• Detergent drawer leaks or the wrong compartments filling

Check before you buy

• Make sure the taps are fully open and the hose is not kinked
• Unscrew the hose and clean the small mesh filter in the valve inlet
• Check whether the valve has multiple coils (one per compartment) and which one is at fault

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your washing machine 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 machine and turn the water supply off
2. Remove the top panel and note which hoses connect to which outlets
3. Unplug the coil connectors and release the hose clamps
4. Unscrew the valve from the back panel and swap in the new one
5. Reconnect everything, turn the water on slowly and check for leaks

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 differ by number of outlets, coil voltage and connector type. Match the part number or your model number.
