This is the replacement water valve for your dishwasher. The water inlet valve connects to the water source and solenoid wires, and ensures the tub has the right amount of water entering it. If your dishwasher continues to fill after it is full, or if it fills slowly, you may need to replace this valve. Before you begin this repair, be sure to disconnect the water and power sources from your dishwasher. This part is sold individually and is an OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer.

Ordered new water inlet valve and replaced old one, have checked the float and dishwasher is bone dry. With old valve some water came in but now none. Have replaced copper hose with a Flex hose also. Stumped!! help!
For model number mdbtt60awb
Hello Courtney and thank you for writing.
You should check the door handle and switch PS11748729 in case it is faulty, this is very rare. Also sometimes the water pressure in your hose is not high enough, you might need to get this checked out if the door handle and switch is ok. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Broken Inlet Valve due to freezing - water leak
Most of the time was spent pulling out the dishwasher from under the counter, as a new tile floor had been installed after the DW was installed.
Great pictures of components on this website confirmed what part to order.
Shut off water feed to DW and disconnect power to DW.
Unplug wire connector to old valve (solenoid) and disconnect water inlet hose. Observe that valve is attached to sheet metal bracket.
Remove bracket, with valve attached. Don't remove valve from bracket. New valve comes with sheet metal bracket.
Remove female threaded adaptor (brass) from back of old valve and screw on to new valve using Teflon tape. That is the only piece you need to reuse.
Attached the new bracket (with valve attached) to DW. Attach water inlet hose. Attach plug to new valve.
Turn on water to DW. Check for leaks. Retighten hose connection if required. Run dishwasher. Keep lower panel off for a couple of days to be certain no leaks develop.

Weeping water control valve
Turned off water and power to the unit. Removed kick plate from under the dishwasher to access the water contol valve. Placed an absorbant rag under the water valve and water line. Disconnected solenoid on water control valve from electrical connection with my fingers. Used a standard adjustable wrench to disconnect the water line from the water control valve. Then used a 1/4" nut driver to loosen the two bolts that hold the water control valve on to the mounting bracket. Pulled the water control valve slightly forward to disconnect the water feed line to the dishwasher. Used a blunt end plier to pinch the clamp open and slowly wiggle the feed line off of the water control valve. Then removed 90 degree elbow off of the water control valve and used pipe dope and connected the elbow onto the new water control valve. Replaced water control valve in reverse order and utilized new hose clamp to reconnect feed line to new water control valve. Saved door seal for future use, when seal goes bad.
Unpluged the electric, Disconnected the water line and the drain line. Removed the dishwasher. Removed and installed the new water inlet valve and the float switch. This was a very simple repair. Reinstalled the dishwasher and connect the water and drain line. Pluged in the power line. Turned the dishwasher on and it worked perfect. Thank you for the correct parts.

Dishwasher wouldn't clean dishes
First shut circuit breaker to dishwasher and close water valve under the sink. Remove the screws that hold the dishwasher to the counter, then remove the bottom cover plates. I slid the diswasher out almost all the way...On the left side bottom I could see the old water inlet valve was attached by 2 hex screws and a clip with 3 wires..after removing the 2 screws and clip I was able to remove the water line (place something to catch a small amount of water) and remove the black rubber hose from the old intake valve by squeezing the clip.. Removed the brass nut from the old valve you'll need it. I installed the new water inlet valve by connecting the old brass nut (replace with new thread seal tape) , replace the water line and black rubber hose...attach to frame with the 2 hex screws and replace clip with wires...I slid the dishwasher back under the counter, turned the water on and power back on...I ran the dishwasher before I secured it in place to check for leaks...Dry as a bone...I then secured it to the counter and replaced the bottom plates.. the dishwasher is working like new...everything comes out spotless...Sometimes repairs are not as hard as they look, just take your time.

Our dishwasher would not take in water. It would partially fill but not to the level required to run properly.
I pulled the dishwasher out from under the countertop. It was quit easy to get to in the lower left front corner of the appliance. I loosened up the bracket that was holding the valve in place. Removed the wires, and taped and ID them so that I would know which one went where. Removed the hose clamp, pulled the hose off and removed the old valve. Put the new one back in just as I removed the old one in the same order. It was a snap! This is not the first time I have used PartSelect! Our evaporate fan went out on our refrigerator a couple years ago, replaced that. A shelf broke in our refrigerator twice, each one different at different times bought both from Part Select. This is the first place I look for help with repairs! I at least attempt to save money, then if it's too difficult I will hire a repairman. So Far, PartSelect has saved me a lot of money on doing it myself! Thanks PartSelect for making small repairs easy to tackle yourself, along with reasonable prices for parts!

Dishwasher would not fill
Turned off water at the shutoff valve. I did not turn off the power, but it is recommended you do so. I pulled the dishwasher out from under the cabinet and used a car jack to lift the front off of the ground. Disconnected the water supply and the rubber hose that fills the dishwasher tub. There are two 7mm screws that hold the water pump to the frame. If you do not have a 7mm socket, the easiest thing to use is an interchangeable screwdriver. When the screw bit is pulled out, the empty screwdriver is a 7mm. Used adjustable wrench to remove the brass water port for the supply line. Teflon tape to all connections and hooked everything back up. My supply line was old and was leaking, so I had to run out and get a new one, so that added about 30 minutes to what would have been maybe a 20 minute repair.

Water leaking under dishwasher
Dishwasher is in our summer cabin in Colorado so everything has to be drained for the winter. Not really sure whether this leak was freeze caused or that the valve was just old. Couldn't find a crack when I got the old one apart; might have been just an O ring needed. Anyway, just follow the video provided by this site for replacement of the valve; really easy. Biggest hassle for us was getting the dishwasher out (and back in) as it was wrapped in insulation which made the fit really tight. Thought I had everything I needed when I started but didn't have teflon tape which is needed for the brass fitting connecting the water supply to the valve (fitting is in your old valve and will be reused with the new one).

perfect fit, dishwasher is good as new
The part was a perfect fit for my Amana dishwasher, and installed easily after watching the video on your website (parts weren't in the exact same place but all concepts were the same). The dishwasher I thought was dead is now good as new!

Unbelievably quick delivery!
I discovered a leak at my mountain cabin after having it shut down for the winter (pipes drained). It was coming form the dish washer. We quickly diagnosed the problem, with help from the PartSelect website, ordered at 6:00 PM on Monday and received it at 2:00 PM on Wednesday. The installation video made it a snap. I highly recommend Part Select.

First time DIY repair and it was perfect
The PartSelect tool to help me find the part I needed worked great. I am a 40 year old woman trying to save a little money and doing DIY appliance repair for the first time. The part received was a perfect fit for my machine, which I got back up and running for way less than the price of a service call or new dishwasher. Thanks!
