140001722010 Genuine Hot Water Inlet Valve for Electrolux Washing Machines, Hot Tap Solenoid Valve, Also A00172201

Part 140001722010 is the genuine Electrolux hot water inlet valve, also known by its older number A00172201. It's the solenoid valve that opens to let hot water in from the tap when the washing machine calls for it. The cold valve is a separate part, 140001721012. Our records don't list the models, so check 140001722010 or A00172201 against your old valve or parts list before ordering.

Washer not filling with hot water?

When a wash setting asks for warm or hot water, the control energises the hot valve's coil and it opens. If the coil burns out, only cold water comes in, so warm washes come out cold, or the washer takes ages to fill and may stop with a fill fault. A valve that sticks open keeps letting water in after the machine has finished filling, and in bad cases the washer overflows or keeps draining and refilling. Leaks from the valve body or a cracked inlet are also common. Check the hot tap is on and the inlet filter screen is clear before replacing.

Changing the hot valve

Turn off both taps and switch the washer off at the wall. Disconnect the hot hose at the back of the machine. Remove the top or rear panel to reach the valve, then photograph the wiring and any internal hose before unplugging them. Fit the new valve, reconnect everything, turn the hot tap on slowly and check for leaks before running a warm wash.
