AUGSMIAR W10144820 Washer Water Inlet Valve Replacement — WPW10144820 Compatible, Reinforced Build

The AUGSMIAR W10144820 is a direct-replacement washing machine water inlet valve designed to restore proper filling, temperature balancing, and water control for compatible Whirlpool-family appliances.

If your washer is not filling, overfilling, leaking, or supplying only hot or cold water, the inlet valve is a common wear item. The AUGSMIAR W10144820 (also sold as WPW10144820 and equivalents) replaces several OEM part numbers and fits many Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore and other models. Built from reinforced materials and exact-fit connectors, this valve aims to return normal water flow and temperature mixing without needing a full machine replacement.

How does this inlet valve fix filling or draining problems?

Replacing a faulty inlet valve addresses symptoms such as no water entering the drum, continuous filling, or intermittent fill cycles. The valve controls both hot and cold water entry and signals the washer’s control system when the correct level is reached.

• Restores controlled water fill and stop functions.
• Resolves continuous or inconsistent filling issues.
• Ensures proper response to machine water-level sensors.

Which washer brands and part numbers is W10144820 compatible with?

W10144820 is compatible with many models in the Whirlpool family and other brands that share the same service parts. It fits units from Whirlpool, Maytag, Kenmore, Roper, Crosley, Estate, Amana, Admiral, Inglis and related lines, and replaces multiple OEM identifiers.

• Direct cross-replaces: WPW10144820, WPW10144820VP, W10311458.
• Also replaces: AP4371093, AP6015761, EAP11749042, PS11749042.

What are the durability and performance features of this replacement valve?

AUGSMIAR engineered this inlet valve with thicker, more resilient materials than many economy alternatives. The reinforced construction reduces leak risk and extends service life while matching factory electrical and hose connections for straightforward installation.

• Thicker molded body for improved resistance to cracking and wear.
• Factory-style solenoid and inlet ports for reliable electrical and water connections.
• Designed to correct unbalanced hot/cold supply and stop water leakage.

How do I install the replacement valve and what should I check first?

Installation typically requires basic tools and about 20–40 minutes, depending on access. Always disconnect power and shut off water supply before starting; match hose fittings and wiring harness to the new valve and test for leaks after reassembly.

• Turn off both hot and cold water supplies and unplug the machine first.
• Remove the old valve, transfer any brackets or fittings, then mount the AUGSMIAR valve securely.
• Reconnect hoses and wiring, restore power/water, and run a short fill cycle to check operation and leaks.

Who is this for: The AUGSMIAR W10144820 inlet valve is intended for homeowners, handypersons, and service technicians repairing Whirlpool-family washing machines showing water fill, temperature balance, or leakage problems. It’s a practical, cost-effective part for anyone seeking an OEM-compatible replacement to extend appliance life without major repairs.
