Description
The Hot Water Valve is an OEM part for GE washing machines. As a key part of the water supply system, it is designed to precisely regulate the release of hot water into the wash tub. The valve opens and closes to balance water temperature as needed during cycles to properly wash and rinse loads.
Symptoms of a faulty hot water valve can include:
- Inability to select hot water cycles
- Excessively high or low water temperatures
- Water not reaching or filling to intended levels
- Fluctuations in temperature accuracy wash to wash
Causes of failure relate to degradation of the internal valve mechanism over extended use. Mineral buildup may also cause obstruction.
This OEM GE replacement ensures proper heat regulation. This valve is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore washing machines.
