Frigidaire Water Inlet Valve 134637810 OEM Part

The water inlet valve is an essential part designed for Electrolux and Frigidaire washing machines, which are both brands within the Frigidaire group. Frigidaire also manufactures comparable components for Sears-Kenmore appliances. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement part functions by connecting the hot and cold water hoses to the washing machine, managing water flow during the wash cycle. Proper water flow regulation is key to the machine's efficiency, adjusting water levels according to electronic signals from the washer.

For ease of use, the valve incorporates color coding—red denotes hot water and blue represents cold—ensuring straightforward installation and maintenance. If the valve fails, it may disrupt water flow, potentially degrading the machine's performance or halting its operation. Issues such as leaks, clogged filters, or solenoid dysfunctions can typically be resolved by replacing the water inlet valve. Prior to installation, it's crucial to disconnect both the power and water supply to maintain safety.
