Stop guessing why your top load washer will not fill or keeps overfilling. The W10144820 water inlet valve is the cold and hot water solenoid assembly mounted behind the back panel that opens and closes water flow into the tub, balances incoming water temperature with its built in thermistor, and helps the control board regulate fill level. If your washer fills slowly, fills with only hot or only cold, never stops filling, leaks from the back, or shows no water at all, this valve is the first part to inspect.
Built to match the original Whirlpool specification including the square connector block, vacuum break, and 6 wire harness with thermistor leads. Swapping a failing valve stops cold water leaks into the tub, protects the floorboard, and restores correct wash temperatures.

Why Replace Instead of Living With It
A stuck open solenoid floods the tub and trips the flood path under the cabinet. A cracked valve body drips onto the floorboard and rots the base. Replacing this 120V class valve takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Shut off both water supply valves, unplug the washer, pull the top or rear panel, photograph the wire positions, release the hose clamps, unplug the harness, remove the mount screw, and seat the new assembly in reverse order.
