The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Bosch dishwashers. This component is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the dishwasher. It operates via electrical signals from the dishwasher's control board, opening to allow water to enter during the filling phase and closing to halt water flow once the correct level is achieved.   Causes for replacement can include wear and tear over time, mineral deposits from hard water that obstruct the valve, or electrical failures that prevent the valve from opening or closing properly.   Symptoms of a bad Water Inlet Valve include: Insufficient water filling the dishwasher, leading to poor cleaning results. No water entering the dishwasher, resulting in dry cycles. Water leaking from the valve, which could indicate a crack or failure in the valve mechanism. This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.This part fixes the following symptomsoverflowingNoisyPart Number 00425458 (AP3783031) replaces 00167081, 00189533, 00580009, 1105846, 167081, 189533, 425458, 580009, 888009, AH3463698, EA3463698, PS3463698, PS8713989.
