Accurate part assignment
The replacement part came quickly and was well protected. It functions as needed. It would have been nice if the OEM had made the threads and screws match so it could be easily assembled. I used smaller nuts and bolts to hold it in place after failing to get the screws to engage. The screws had been hard to remove, so I believe the holes were identical with the new part and the original part.

GE dishwasher water inlet valve replacement
The water inlet valve ordered was the right part. On this dishwasher the valve is readily accessible, and it was a simple install, suitable for average homeowner to accomplish. Total cost of about $50 including shipping and tax was a substantial savings over GE technician estimate of about $300.

Blocked inlet valve
Removed kick panel and pulled out the unit from cabinet carefully. Turned off water and power.

... Read moreousing to examine the old inlet. No real way to clean it. Honestly, I don’t see a reason for the filter. There’s no way to replace it and it’s not easy to change out anyway. The particles were so small they could have passed through and not harmed the system. A better and more practical place for any filter would be just in front of the inlet that could just pop in every 2-3 years as needed preventatively in 5 minutes. Anyway, I reassembled and tested. Water flow was great. I think it cleans better too because the hot water fills the plastic reservoir faster and stays hot to clean more effectively.

Would not fill with water

Remove those 2 screws now you can get to them, and move the inlet valve to one side so you can get to the hose clamp for the rubber hose out of the valve going to the dishwasher. 7, Take the old valve and bracket out, mount new valve on the bracket, crawl back down on the floor, reinstall rubber hose and bracket, and float valve and finally inlet hose. 8. Turn water on. Check hose connections for leaks. Yep, outlet hose didn't clamp enough now, allowing a drip. 9. Repeat the whole process AGAIN. Replace little clamp with a REAL hose clamp, reinstall the thing again. No leak this time. 10. Test run dishwasher thru a cycle. Check again for leaks at hose connections. OK ? Reinstall insulation pieces and toe kick plate.

Dishes Weren't Getting Clean At All
The sump was very clogged with caulk like crud that we think was a chemical reaction from soap that was used the first two years. When I first started troubleshooting, the sump seemed to be the problem, so I replaced that. There was a small hose on the sump that was broken so it made sense to replace it anyhow.
When that didn
... Read more't help I put the dishwasher into service mode and observed that there just wasn't enough water to spin the sprayer. Therefore it was a water quantity problem, which can be caused by either the Water Inlet Valve or the Flood Switch.
I ordered both the Water Inlet Valve and the Flood Switch, just in case. I replaced the valve first and when that worked I did not install the switch.
Installation was performed with the dishwasher still inserted in the cabinet. If you have big hands, pull the dishwasher out. With sockets and nut drivers, I was able to remove the assembly. After pulling it out enough to clear the dishwasher, I was able to get a screwdriver on the outlet side clamp and a wrench on the inlet side hose.
My old valve had a 90° elbow on it and that was difficult to remove. Installing the elbow on the new valve was just as bad. The valves don't have enough clearance to get a wrench on them to keep them from turning while the elbow is tightened.
TIP: Take a picture of the valve before removing/disconnecting anything. I don't know if the electrical connector can attach either way but I made sure to put it back on exactly the same way it was.

Station is only two mins from me and wasn't a problem for them to do for me. Came back put fresh Teflon tape on joint and reattached it to new part. Attached all hoses and clamps, plugged electrical prongs back in and attached bracket back to body of dishwasher. Turned water on and checked for leaks. Turned power back on and ran a cycle of dishes to wash....all went well. If the knuckle was on so tight the job would have only taken about 40 min at best.

Had a water leak in bottom of dishwasher.
I simply removed the bad part and reversed the process. It was very easy and a 12 year old could do it. Thanks for the online tips and recommendations. You saved me over 400.00 which is what a new unit would run. Plus installation. Many Thanks.

Is this water inlet valve compatible or will it work with my GE dishwasher. Dishwasher will not fill with water. I poured a couple of pitchers of hot water up to the heater element to simulate the dishwasher was filled with water. I could hear it washing and it did drain, but dishwasher will not fill with water on its own.
For model number GSD4060N20SS
Hi Charles, Thank you for the question. Yes, this Valve is the correct valve for the model number provided. Good luck with the repair!

Considering buying new water inlet valve? The water would not stop running into dishwasher (even with door open) and even when power turned off. I shut off water and waited. After 10 minutes i turned water back on and it had stopped. I don't know what else it could be. I think if it were the float, the water would have stopped running when i opened the door (and when the power was turned off). Thoughts?
For model number PDW7900N10WW
Hello Daniel, thank you for your question. Yes, if the water continued to run into the unit even after the door was opened and power was off, the water valve is stuck in an open position. I would recommend replacing the water valve to fix this problem! Good luck with your repair!

When the dishwasher fills up with water it does not stop water poured out on the floor. When I turned off the washer opened the door the water was still running in filling it up, I had to turn the water off to get it to stop. I replaced the float switch it did not help. What does the inlet valve do and could that be bad.
For model number GSD3300R15CC
Hi John, Thank you for the question. The valve releases water into the tub. If the float did not fix the issue the next part to replace would be the water inlet valve. Hope this helps!

On my dishwasher when the wash cycle is complete and the dishes are clean and the clean indicator light is on, there is a humming noise coming from inside the dishwasher when the door is closed, like something is still running. When the door is open, the noise stops. When the door is closed again the humming noise comes back. Can you help me?
For model number PDW9200N00WW
Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your question. It sounds like you may want to physically check your drain area. Something may be jammed, like the chopper assembly, your pump and motor mechanism, or your drain pump. You would have to pull out your dishwasher for this and take it apart a bit. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I could visually see a leak coming from my old inlet valve (once i knew i had a leak!) so i ordered this replacement, which reconnected in just fine - except for the two screws to hold the bracket to the frame of the dishwasher. As mentioned in the video, the original screws are 5/16, but they won't screw into the new bracket (whether trying to attach it to the dishwasher or just trying screw right to bracket as a test). Did the threading on these change at some point so my original screws won't fit this new replacement part? (it didn't come with screws). Thanks.
For model number PDW9900N20BB
Hi Ed, I know this part does not come with screws. It is a replacement for an older part. The specs for the screws seem to be 10 - 32 t hex 7/16 s. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair!

My dishwasher runs and drains ok, but over a few hours there is an accumulation of clean water in the bottom. Sometimes it as much as an inch. Does this suggest that the intake valve is not functioning correctly?
For model number PDW8900N00WW
Hi Lewis, thank you for your question. It is normal for some water to be present in the bottom of the dishwasher. But, if the water is present in large quantity may be the water inlet valve, part number PS3654179, is malfunctioning. Before replacing it check the drainage system is not clogged, which can restrict the water flow. We hope this sorts out your problem!

Won't fill with water. Drains ok. It looks like the front motor impeller doesn't spin when it should. Sometimes it will move a little but not spin. I can kick start the motor impeller from the front with a screwdriver and it spins at a high rate fills with water and works. Sometimes this will fix the problem for a time or two but then the problem returns. Any ideas? Thanks.
