Water Inlet Valve

About This Part

# Water Inlet Valve for Bosch & Siemens Dishwashers If your dishwasher isn't filling with water properly or is leaking around the inlet area, a faulty water inlet valve is likely the culprit. Over time, these valves wear out and lose their ability to control water flow effectively, leaving you with poor wash results or water damage. This genuine OEM part, reference 00263086, is designed specifically for Bosch and Siemens dishwashers and restores proper water intake function. Replacing it is straightforward enough for a confident DIYer, with an installation difficulty rating of just 2 out of 10. When fitting the new valve, remember to turn off both the water supply and electrical power to your appliance first. This simple precaution makes the job safer and prevents accidental flooding. The valve itself typically sits behind the kick plate at the front of your dishwasher, so access is relatively easy. Before ordering, take a moment to verify your dishwasher's E-Nr model number, which you'll find on the inside of the door frame. This ensures you're getting the correct part for your specific machine and avoids any compatibility issues.
