This water inlet valve has two ports for water to enter. It is blue and is intended for use with many washing machines and comes with a multi-mount bracket and an outlet adaptor. The water inlet valve controls the water flow into your washer. If your washer is leaking, will not fill with water, has no hot/cold water, or will not stop filling with water, you may need to replace the valve. This is a genuine OEM part. Please remember to shut off the water supply and disconnect the power to the washer before you start the repair.
