UAOPL WP8531669 8531669 Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve for Whirlpool
Product description
Who it’s for
Measuring 4.3" long by 3.1" wide, the UAOPL WP8531669 dishwasher water inlet valve is a replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It’s aimed at someone addressing a water-inlet valve issue who can match the existing part or appliance requirements to the listed replacement numbers. The product is made of ABS and comes as one component, rather than a kit of multiple repair parts.
You’ll appreciate it if you want to replace the valve itself and have a listed part number to compare against your current component. The stated replacements include 8531670, 8268572, 8268590, 8528931, 8531351, 8531671, and 961991. The listing also names 33129022 among compatible replacement models. Matching a number is a more useful starting point than choosing a valve based only on its appearance.
Where it shines
A water inlet valve controls water entering the dishwasher, so this part is relevant when the repair calls for replacing that component. The listing describes it as supporting steady water flow and even pressure, those are intended functions, not a guarantee that changing the valve will fix every filling or cleaning problem. If the dishwasher’s issue comes from another component, a new inlet valve may not address the cause.
The ABS construction and compact stated dimensions help identify what is being purchased before a repair. The listing says installation can be done with basic tools and estimates 15 minutes, but actual repair time depends on the appliance and the person doing the work. Compared with replacing the entire dishwasher or buying a broader repair kit, a single replacement valve makes sense when the valve is the part needed and its compatibility is confirmed.
What to know
The compatibility information is specific to Whirlpool dishwashers and lists replacement numbers, but it does not provide a complete list of dishwasher model numbers. “Compatible with Whirlpool” should not be taken to mean that the part fits every Whirlpool dishwasher. Check the appliance’s existing valve or parts information against the listed references before ordering, the WP8531669 name alone does not establish a match for every unit.
The product details identify the material as ABS, the color as white, the dimensions as 4.3" L x 3.1" W, and the included quantity as one. No hose, extra valve, or installation hardware is listed as included. The stated 15-minute installation time is an estimate from the listing, not a guarantee, and basic tools are still required. If the repair involves more than the inlet valve, this single-part purchase may not cover the rest of the work.
Before you decide
Which dishwashers is it listed for? Whirlpool dishwashers, with several replacement numbers named. Check your appliance or existing part against those references rather than assuming universal fit.
What material and size are specified? ABS, in white, with listed dimensions of 4.3" L x 3.1" W.
What comes with the purchase? The product details specify one included component: the water inlet valve.
Is it worth it?
This is a focused replacement-part option when the repair calls for a Whirlpool-compatible inlet valve and one of the listed references matches your dishwasher. Its practical advantages are a defined set of replacement numbers, stated dimensions, and a single-part format. Not the best choice if you need a complete repair kit or cannot verify compatibility for your exact dishwasher. The key decision is whether the existing part number or appliance parts information matches the references provided, without that match, the listing’s general compatibility claim is not enough to confirm fit.
