8588074876497 Genuine 2 Way Inlet Valve with Flowmeter for Electrolux Group Washing Machines, Electric Water Valve

Genuine part 8588074876497 is a two way electric water valve with a built-in flowmeter from the Electrolux group parts range. Two way means one water inlet feeding two outlets, each opened by its own solenoid coil, and the flowmeter reports how much water has gone in. Washers in this family use several similar valves, including three way versions, so match the number on your old valve. No model list is on file.

Washing machine not filling or filling slowly?

When the control board calls for water, it powers a coil on the valve and water flows through to the detergent drawer. The flowmeter counts what passes, so the board can measure the fill rather than relying on time alone. A failed coil leaves one compartment dry or stops the fill completely. A valve that sticks open keeps filling even with the machine off. A faulty flowmeter can trigger water inlet errors or stop the machine mid-fill even with the taps fully on. Blocked inlet screens give similar symptoms, so check those first.

Replacing the inlet valve

Turn off the taps, unplug the machine and unscrew the inlet hose, with a bucket handy. The valve is normally at the back under the top panel. Photograph the coil wiring, the flowmeter plug and both outlet hoses before removing it. Fit the new valve, reconnect everything in the same positions and use a new hose washer if the old one is flattened. Turn the tap on slowly and run a wash to check for leaks.

Questions about this part

Can I fit a valve without a flowmeter?

No. If your machine was built with a flowmeter valve, its board expects that signal and will usually show a fill error without it. Order the same type, and compare the number on your old valve to be sure.
