Repairing a whilpool washing machine which would not fill .
On inspection the machine had been moved and some how ripped
the three wires from the water feed valve .the problem i
have fixing this is all the wires are the same colour (blue)
The three wires go from the program board to the water inlet
valve are seperate from the main wiring harness ,would any one
know if these are availible ? .Any advice please .

Re: Whirlpool awo/d5556

You could replace the valve with a more conventional type (e.g. Connect’s VAL98115 10.5mm bore, allegedly fits Whp) and use crimp connectors. Just need to experiment a bit with volt meter, to find which wire does what, when. Or just pull off the circuit board from the existing valve terminals and you’ll have bare terminals sticking up. Need to lengthen wires and make sure it all goes back safely of course. ( I say that not for your benefit, I’m sure you’re perfectly competent, but in case someone says I’m a cowboy for suggesting such a thing :rolls: )

Thanks leavemetogetonwithit looking how the valves are wired up
seems best , if i can open them up without wrecking them .

I’m sure you can. I did it on a Bosch which had same sort of valve at similarly daft price!
