The solenoid valve acts as an electrically controlled tap that regulates the flow of water into your washing machine. It opens to let water in when needed and closes to stop the flow.
Common signs include the machine not filling, overfilling, filling continuously, or displaying error codes related to water intake. Leaks from the top of the machine can also indicate a problem.

The 'Angle: 90' refers to the orientation of the water inlet ports relative to the valve body, typically 90 degrees. 'Type: 3 Way' indicates it has three ports for water entry, often for hot, cold, and a third function or inlet.
This refers to the type of fitting used for the water inlet hoses. 'Push' connectors usually mean the hose simply pushes into a socket, and a locking mechanism holds it in place, simplifying connection and disconnection.
This part is also commonly known as a Water Valve, Fill Valve, Inlet Valve, or Electric Valve.
Check that the water supply is turned on, the inlet hoses are not kinked, and the solenoid valve is receiving power. If these are fine, the valve may be faulty and need replacement.
The solenoid valve may not be closing properly. Ensure it is correctly installed and check for any debris obstructing its mechanism. If the issue persists, the valve likely needs replacing.
Consult your washing machine's manual for specific error code meanings. Often, these codes indicate a problem with the water supply or the inlet valve.
A slight humming sound when opening is normal. Loud buzzing or clicking might indicate a power issue or a failing valve mechanism.
Compatibility:
Before purchasing, it is essential to check the model fit list provided by the manufacturer or retailer to ensure this specific Hotpoint part (C00110331) is compatible with your washing machine model. Using the wrong part can lead to malfunction or damage.
Setup/Installation:
Care:
As a component within the washing machine, the solenoid valve itself does not typically require direct cleaning. However, maintaining the water inlet hoses and ensuring the household water supply is free from excessive sediment can indirectly help prolong its life. Periodically check hose connections for any signs of wear or leakage.
