Understanding the Problem
What this part is and why it matters: The 11013212200 is a washing machine water inlet (fill) valve assembly. It controls hot and cold water entering the washer by opening and closing electrically under control of the machine's timer or electronic control. When it fails the washer may not fill, may fill slowly, may overfill, or may leak. Step-by-step diagnostic and repair steps: 1) Confirm symptoms and basics: Verify whether the washer won't fill at all, fills slowly, fills only hot or only cold, overfills (won't stop), or leaks. Note whether you hear a click when the machine should start filling. 2) Check household water supply: Ensure both hot and cold shutoff valves at the wall are fully open and that there is water pressure at other fixtures. Remove the hoses and briefly open the water valves into a bucket to ensure supply. 3) Inspect inlet hoses and screens: Turn off water supply, disconnect hoses from the washer inlet, and check the inlet screens on the valve for debris or mineral buildup. Clean screens with a small brush if clogged. 4) Test electrical operation: Put the washer into a fill cycle and listen for a click from the valve. If you have a multimeter, unplug the washer, access the valve leads, and check coil continuity (expect a few ohms to low kilo-ohms depending on model). With power on and the cycle active, carefully (and only if experienced) measure for 120V AC (or machine supply voltage) at the valve terminals when a fill should occur. No voltage indicates a control/door/lid/pressure switch issue; voltage present with no valve action indicates a bad valve. 5) Check the pressure switch / air tube (if overfilling or not stopping): If the washer overfills, verify the pressure switch tubing for clogs or holes—this can falsely report water level and cause continuous fill. 6) Decide replace vs clean: If screens are clogged, cleaning may restore function. If the valve receives correct voltage but doesn't open, or coils read open/shorted, replace the valve. How to replace the fill valve (practical steps): 1) Unplug the washer and turn off the hot and cold water supply at the wall. Have towels and a shallow pan ready. 2) Move the washer away from the wall so you can access the rear panel. Depending on model you may remove the back panel or the top console to access the valve. 3) Take photos or note wiring locations; disconnect the electrical connectors from the valve solenoids. Disconnect the inlet hoses from the valve (water will drip). 4) Remove mounting screws or clips holding the valve assembly to the washer body and lift out the old valve. 5) Install the new 11013212200 valve: position it, fasten mounting screws/clips, reconnect inlet hoses (use new washers if needed), and reconnect the electrical connectors to the correct terminals. 6) Turn on water supply slowly and check for leaks at hose connections and the valve body. Tighten hoses if needed. 7) Plug in the washer and run a short fill cycle to confirm proper operation: both hot and cold fill circuits, correct fill time, and valve stops when cycle indicates. 8) If the valve still does not operate but receives voltage, double-check connections and replace. If the valve receives no voltage, continue troubleshooting control, lid switch, or pressure switch. Safety note: Always disconnect power before accessing electrical components. When measuring live voltage, use caution and only proceed if you are experienced with electrical testing. Turn off water before disconnecting hoses to avoid flooding.
Common Symptoms
Washer won't fill, fills slowly, fills only hot or only cold, continues to fill (won't stop), or leaks at the back of the washer.
Common Causes
- Clogged inlet screens or mineral buildup
- Failed solenoid/coils in the inlet valve
- No electrical signal from control, lid/door switch, or pressure switch

Helpful Repair Tip
To confirm the valve is bad, run a fill cycle and measure for voltage at the valve terminals—if voltage is present and the valve doesn't open, the valve (solenoid) is almost certainly faulty.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I clean the fill valve instead of replacing it?
Sometimes. If the issue is slow fill or low water flow, removing and cleaning the inlet screens and flushing debris can restore function. However, if the solenoid coil is burnt out, the valve is stuck, or the valve leaks, cleaning won't help and you should replace the valve.
How much does it cost to replace the fill valve?
The part alone typically ranges from an affordable to moderate price depending on brand and supplier. Expect parts to cost in a low-to-mid range (commonly $25–$120). If you hire a technician, add labor—usually an hour of service. Prices vary by region and model.
