807047901 Dishwasher Water Inlet Valve

Key Features

• Precision Solenoid Control: Engineered with a high-response electromagnetic solenoid that accurately opens and closes the water supply based on signals from the control board, preventing overfilling or dry-running.
• Heavy-Duty Brass Inlet: Features a durable, corrosion-resistant 3/4-inch brass threaded connection designed to withstand high household water pressure and provide a leak-free fit for standard supply lines.
• Integrated Fine-Mesh Filter: Includes a built-in stainless steel sediment screen that captures sand, mineral scale, and pipe debris before they can enter the dishwasher's internal components or spray arms.
• Quiet Flow Technology: Internally baffled to reduce "water hammer" noise and vibration during the fill cycle, ensuring a quieter operation throughout the kitchen.

Compatibility & Fitment

This water inlet valve is the standard replacement for many modern Frigidaire-manufactured dishwashers. Key compatible models include:

• Frigidaire / Frigidaire Gallery: Fits FFCD2413US2A, FGBD2438PB9B, LFID2426TF0A, FFBD2406NW, and hundreds of other F-prefix models.
• Kenmore (587 Series): Compatible with dozens of 587-prefix dishwashers produced for Sears (e.g., 587.15112401).
• Crosley & Tappan: Direct fit for standard tall-tub units utilizing the 807047901 valve style.
• Note: This valve is typically located behind the lower kickplate on the front-left or front-right side of the dishwasher base.

When to Replace

• Dishwasher Not Filling: The cycle starts and the drain pump runs, but you never hear the "whoosh" of water entering the tub.
• Water Leaking into Tub: You find a puddle of clean water at the bottom of the dishwasher even when it's turned off, indicating the valve is not closing completely.
• "Low Water" or "i10" Error Codes: The dishwasher stops mid-cycle because it hasn't reached the required water level within the programmed time.
• Loud Buzzing/Vibrating: A loud mechanical hum during the fill portion of the cycle suggests the solenoid coil is failing or the internal diaphragm is stuck.
• Poor Cleaning Results: If the valve is partially clogged with mineral scale, the dishwasher won't fill with enough water to maintain full spray arm pressure.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: You MUST unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply valve under the sink before beginning this repair.
• Access the Valve: Remove the two screws holding the lower kickplate (toe kick) at the bottom front of the dishwasher. The valve is usually mounted to the frame on the left side.
• Check the Screen: Before installing the new valve, check your old supply line for debris. If your house has "hard water," mineral buildup can quickly clog a new valve's internal screen.
• Use Teflon Tape: Apply a small amount of plumber's tape to the brass threads of the water supply line to ensure a watertight seal, but be careful not to let any tape get inside the valve port.
• Test for Leaks: After installation, turn the water supply back on and check the connections before putting the kickplate back on. Run a short "Rinse" cycle to verify the fill and shut-off are working correctly.
