Frigidaire Water Inlet Valve 134371220 OEM Part

Thermistor-Equipped Water Inlet and Dispenser Valve for Washing Machines

This essential component resolves issues with washing machines that either do not fill up with water as expected or fail to cease filling. Additionally, it serves to minimize potential leak occurrences.

Crafted by Frigidaire, this water inlet valve is compatible with models from Frigidaire, Electrolux, and certain Kenmore machines. It regulates the inflow of both hot and cold water into the washing machine's drum, ensuring the proper temperature combination for various washing cycles. The valve operates by opening and closing according to instructions from the washer's control module, making it fundamental for the precise execution of wash cycles—from the initial fill to the rinse stages.

Reasons necessitating the replacement of this valve often include mineral accumulation, sediment obstruction, mechanical deterioration, or electrical malfunctions.

Indicators of a malfunctioning water inlet valve may manifest as:

- The washing machine failing to fill with water
- Delayed water entry into the appliance
- Incorrect water temperature during the filling process

This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component effectively addresses problems such as absence of hot or cold water and persistent water filling cycles.
