Product Description
The Inlet Valve 180 Degree Cold Simpson Hoover Westinghouse Washing Machine Cold 360313 is a replacement part designed for certain models of washing machines, specifically from brands like Simpson, Hoover, and Westinghouse. This part is crucial for controlling the flow of cold water into the washing machine during its cycle.
Key Features:
- 180 Degree Valve: The valve has a 180-degree turn mechanism, which helps control the flow of water into the washing machine. It ensures that the correct amount of cold water is delivered during the wash cycle.
- Cold Water Inlet: This inlet valve controls only the cold water input to the washing machine. It is typically used in combination with a separate valve for hot water, but this part focuses on the cold side.
- Model Number 360313: This part is specifically designed for use with Simpson, Hoover, and Westinghouse washing machines, and the model number ensures compatibility with the relevant appliances.
- High-Quality Construction: Designed for durability and reliability, this inlet valve ensures that your washing machine operates smoothly by providing the correct water flow during washing cycles.
Common Applications:
- Washing Machines: This inlet valve is designed for use in washing machines, specifically those from the Simpson, Hoover, and Westinghouse brands. It's often used when a washing machine is having issues with water flow or not filling correctly with cold water.
Benefits:
- Reliable Water Flow: Ensures that the cold water fills the washing machine at the correct rate, leading to better washing results and more efficient water use.
- Easy Replacement: The valve is designed for easy replacement, typically by unscrewing and disconnecting the old valve and installing the new one.
- Prevents Water Issues: Replacing a faulty inlet valve can resolve issues such as slow or no water filling during cycles, leaks, or inconsistent water temperatures.
When to Replace:
- Water Flow Issues: If you notice that the washing machine is not filling with cold water properly or at all, the inlet valve may be clogged or malfunctioning.
- Leaking: If the valve is leaking, it's likely due to wear and tear, which could require a replacement.
- Error Codes: If your washing machine is showing error codes related to water inlet problems, it might be an indication that the inlet valve needs replacing.
How to Install:
- Turn Off Power and Water Supply: Always disconnect the washing machine from the power supply and turn off the water supply before starting any repairs.
- Locate the Inlet Valve: The inlet valve is usually located at the back of the washing machine, where the hoses are connected.
- Remove the Old Valve: Unscrew and disconnect the faulty inlet valve from the water supply hoses and electrical connections.
- Install the New Valve: Attach the new valve, reconnect the water hoses and electrical connections, and tighten the fittings.
- Test the Washing Machine: After installation, turn the water and power back on, and run a cycle to ensure the new inlet valve is working correctly and water is flowing as expected.
