Fix a washer that will not fill or only fills with one temperature. The W11096268 water inlet valve is the dual port solenoid assembly mounted behind the back panel that opens and closes cold and hot water flow into the tub. Each port has its own coil, and the control board energizes them based on your temperature selection and signals from the water level switch. If your washer will not fill, fills with hot only or cold only, fills slowly, or throws LF FL E1 F8 style error codes, this valve is the first part to check before replacing the board.
Built to match the original Whirlpool specification including the blue and red mesh inserts, dual threaded hose ports, and square wire plug. Swapping a failing valve stops slow fills, wrong temperature washes, and silent no fill calls that waste a service visit.

Why Replace Instead of Living With It
A weak coil opens partially and starves the tub, forcing the board to throw long fill faults. A stuck open coil drips continuously and can flood the floorboard. Replacing this 120V 60Hz valve takes about 30 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 valve in reverse order. Turn the water on slowly and watch for seeping before closing the panel.
