Washing Machine Valve-Dual Water - WPW10312696

Restore the proper filling performance of your appliance with the WPW10312696 Washing Machine Dual Water Valve. This electromagnetic component controls the flow of both hot and cold water into the tub. It features two solenoid-operated valves that open and close based on signals from the washer’s control board. If your washing machine is filling slowly, not filling at all, or leaking water into the drum when the machine is turned off, one or both of the solenoids in the valve assembly have likely failed.

The WPW10312696 is engineered with high-quality internal diaphragms and precision-wound coils to ensure a watertight seal and responsive activation. The assembly includes a standardized threaded inlet for standard garden-style hoses and integrated filter screens to prevent sediment from entering the machine’s internal plumbing.

1. Safety First: Unplug the washing machine from the power source and shut off both the hot and cold water supply faucets.
2. Access the Valve: Move the washer away from the wall. Depending on your model, you may need to remove the top console or the rear access panel to reach the valve assembly.
3. Disconnect Hoses: Use pliers or a wrench to unscrew the hot and cold water supply hoses from the back of the machine. Have a bucket ready to catch any residual water.
4. Label and Disconnect Wiring: Take a photo of the wire connectors to ensure they are returned to the correct solenoid. Unplug the electrical wire harnesses.
5. Remove the Faulty Valve: Unscrew the mounting screws holding the WPW10312696 valve to the cabinet and pull the internal fill flume or hose away from the valve outlet.
6. Install the New Valve: Attach the internal fill hose to the new valve, then secure the assembly to the cabinet with the original screws.
7. Reconnect: Plug the wire harnesses back onto the appropriate solenoids and hand-tighten the supply hoses onto the inlets.
8. Test for Leaks: Turn the water supply back on and check the hose connections for drips. Plug in the machine and run a test cycle to confirm the water levels are correct.
