You probably currently have the problem that your washing machine no longer draws water, or is constantly getting water. That's why you're dealing with the water inlet valve of your washing machine. We show you how to replace the solenoid valve on washing machines in this video (Repairing/replacing the solenoid valve on a washing machine - this is how it's done! • Repairing the solenoid valve on a washing machine... You can find the right solenoid valves in our shop. (https://www.ersatzteilshop.de/waschma...) If you have removed the inlet valve and want to check whether the component is affected, start in order. Check whether the water inlet is OK, or whether the sieve on the connection is not dirty so that water can flow through at all. To do this, use a pair of needle-nose pliers and simply pull the sieve out. Check the sieve and the connection behind it and clean the areas of limescale or other deposits from the water pipe so that the water can flow back into the solenoid valve. This may solve the problem and your washing machine will run smoothly again. The solenoid valve opens and closes by moving a small metal tappet backwards, thus releasing the water flow. In the next step, check the coil of the inlet valve using the resistance measurement of the multimeter. If the resistance on the multimeter display goes to infinity, the coil is burned out and the solenoid valve must be replaced. You can find suitable solenoid valves for your washing machine in our shop (https://www.ersatzteilshop.de/waschma.... In our case, we measured two coils and got a value of 3.7 and 3.8 kΩ respectively. These values are good. If the solenoid valve is electrically OK, check whether the tappet is moving at all and whether water can flow through. To do this, we have to remove the coil - this is very easy to do by pressing the plastic tabs at the top of the coil together and pulling it upwards at the same time. The coil is unlocked by a click and can be removed. Now you can see the housing in which the tappet with the membrane is located. You can use a magnet to check whether the tappet is moving freely. If the membrane is torn, water would probably flow continuously. These are the points that you can check on the solenoid valve of your washing machine. Such inlet valves are not universal components and must be ordered using the type number of your washing machine. If you need help with this, please feel free to contact us or use our type number search on the website.
