- the machine fills slowly or not at all
- a fill or water-supply error code

Replace it (20 to 30 minutes):
- Turn off both taps and unplug the machine.

- Photograph the wiring, swap the valve, and reconnect the hoses and wires.
- Turn the taps on and check for leaks before running a cycle.
About This Part
The inlet valve opens and closes the water supply on the machine’s command. A failing valve shows up as no fill or a slow trickle, filling that never stops, or drips around the hose connection. A new valve restores a clean, controlled fill.
Fitting is a straightforward swap for most owners with basic hand tools — unplug the appliance first, and take a photo before disconnecting anything so reassembly is easy.
- In stock in Sydney — order before 12pm AEST on a business day and it ships the same day

- 12-month warranty on every part we sell
