W082 Generic Universal Aquastop Solenoid Valve for Dishwashers, Universal Dishwasher Water Inlet Safety Valve

W082 is a generic universal aquastop solenoid for dishwashers. Aquastop is the flood protection built into many dishwasher inlet hoses, where a valve shuts off the water supply if a leak is detected. This universal solenoid is a replacement option when the original valve has failed, without being tied to one brand. Compare the size, fittings and plug with your old valve before ordering.

Dishwasher not filling or showing a water error?

An aquastop solenoid opens to let water into the dishwasher and snaps shut when power is cut or the leak protection trips. If the coil burns out or the valve jams, the machine can't fill. You'll typically hear a hum or find the dishwasher sitting idle at the start of a cycle, followed by a no-water or inlet fault code. A valve that won't close fully can let water trickle in while the machine is off, which may set off the flood protection and leave the drain pump running. A swollen or leaking hose casing is another sign.

Fitting a universal aquastop valve

Unplug the dishwasher and turn the tap off before disconnecting anything. Photograph how the existing valve is wired and plumbed, and check the inlet thread, outlet size and electrical connector against this universal unit. Fit hose clamps firmly, keep wiring away from water, then turn the tap on slowly and check every joint for leaks before running a cycle.

Questions about this part

Will this universal valve fit my dishwasher?

It's a universal part, so fit depends on the connections and space in your machine rather than a model list. Compare the threads, hose size and plug with your old valve, or send us your dishwasher's brand and model number through the parts enquiry form.
