KitchenAid Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve Replacement W11434044 

This video provides step-by-step repair instructions for replacing the water inlet valve on a KitchenAid dishwasher. The most common reason for replacing this part is if the dishwasher is not filling or washing properly. All of the information for this replacement video is applicable to the following brands: Kenmore, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, Ikea, Amana, Jenn Air, Maytag

Dishwasher

Dishwasher not cleaning

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the valve is clogged or defective, the dishwasher won’t get enough water to clean dishes properly. If the water inlet valve is clogged, replace it. Do not attempt to clean the water inlet valve—cleaning the valve could make it more likely to fail.

Dishwasher lights flashing or blinking

If the dishwasher lights are flashing or blinking, the cause could be a faulty water inlet valve. You can use a multimeter to test the valve's solenoids for electrical continuity to help determine if the component is functioning properly or not. 

Dishwasher leaking

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water inlet valve is stuck open, the dishwasher will continue to fill with water until the dishwasher leaks or overflows. If the water inlet valve is at fault, replace it. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.

Dishwasher leaking from motor area

A dishwasher's water inlet valve opens following a short drain cycle to fill the tank with water in preparation for the wash cycle. If the inlet valve is cracked or damaged, the dishwasher can leak water near the motor area beneath the dishwasher tank.

Dishwasher won't start

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the valve is clogged or defective, the dishwasher won’t fill properly which can prevent the unit from starting. If the water inlet valve is clogged, replace it. Do not attempt to clean the water inlet valve—cleaning the valve could make it more likely to fail.

Dishwasher dispenser not dispensing soap

A dishwasher's water inlet valve opens following a short drain cycle to fill the tank with water in preparation for the wash cycle. If the inlet valve is faulty and the tank does not fill, the wash cycle may be interrupted and the dispenser will not be activated to release the detergent. In this case, the water inlet valve will need to be replaced.

Dishwasher won't fill

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water valve is clogged or defective, water will not flow into the dishwasher. Water inlet valves are not repairable—if the valve is defective, you must replace it.

Dishwasher making noise

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. When it is new, the water inlet valve is very quiet during operation. Over time, the diaphragm inside the valve deteriorates and deforms. This deformation interacts with the water rushing in and can produce a loud vibration, buzzing, squealing, or other noises. If the dishwasher is loud during the filling cycle, replacing the water inlet valve may solve the problem.

Dishwasher overflowing

The water inlet valve is an electrically-controlled valve that opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. Depending on the model, the valve stays open either for a set length of time or until the dishwasher has enough water. However, if the water inlet valve doesn’t shut off after the dishwasher has enough water, the dishwasher will overflow. If water drips into the dishwasher when the door is open, or if water collects at the bottom of the dishwasher while it is not use, you may need to replace the water inlet valve.

Dishwasher stops mid-cycle

The water inlet valve opens to allow water to enter the dishwasher. If the water valve fails, the dishwasher will stop in mid-cycle after the remaining water in the sump area has drained prior to the fill cycle. The water inlet valve coil can be tested for electrical continuity to help determine if the part is faulty. The valve could also be clogged. A clogged valve can not be cleaned and should be replaced.
