428210 Genuine Dual Inlet Valve for Bosch, Indesit Washing Machines, 00428210 00171261, Twin Coil Water Inlet Solenoid Valve

Part 428210, also known as 00428210 and cross referenced to 00171261, is a dual water inlet valve for washing machines. It is listed for Bosch washers, and Indesit machines are named against it as well. A dual valve has two coils feeding separate water paths, usually different sections of the detergent drawer. Compare the number, plug layout and outlets with your old valve before ordering.

Washing machine not filling? Test the inlet valve

The inlet valve sits where the hose connects at the back of the machine. When the control board energises a coil, the valve opens and water flows through the detergent drawer into the drum. A failed coil or a jammed diaphragm means the machine won't fill, fills slowly, or skips one drawer compartment so powder is left behind. The opposite fault, a valve that won't close, lets water trickle in with the machine off and can flood the drum. A blocked filter screen in the valve inlet causes similar slow filling.

Changing the inlet valve

Photograph the wiring and hose positions, release the hose clamps and unclip or unscrew the old valve from the back panel. Fit the new valve, reconnect each hose to its matching outlet and check for leaks during the first fill.
