WP216201 Whirlpool Rubber Injector Valve
The Top Load Washer Injector Tube controls the flow rate of the water from the fill valve to the wash tub during the cleaning cycle. If your washer is leaking water from the top left corner of the outer tub during operation, replacing the injector tube may alleviate this issue. Replacing this part will require basic hand tools, some disassembly of the washing machine and novice repair experience. You must unplug the washing machine or shut off the house circuit breaker for the washing machine before installing this part. Also make sure you turn off your hot and cold water supplies. Recommended Items: For the complete kit that includes (1) injector tube, (1) nozzle and (2) clamps, purchase (item 12001677). The nozzle is sold separately under (item WP213015). Helpful Tip: We also recommend using affresh® Washing Machine Cleaner Tablets* (item W10135699) once a month to help reduce odor-causing residue that can build up in your washing machine's drain without proper care. *affresh® brand products are owned and distributed by Whirlpool Corporation.

DIYWP216201: How to Replace a Whirlpool Rubber Injector Valve
If your Whirlpool dishwasher has a damaged rubber injector valve, it is important to replace it as soon as possible. A broken injector valve may reduce the efficiency of your dishwasher or lead to water leakage. Fortunately, replacing the worn rubber injector valve is a relatively easy DIY task and does not require any specialized skills or tools. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you replace the WP216201 Whirlpool rubber injector valve.
Materials and Tools Needed:
• WP216201 Whirlpool rubber injector valve
• Flathead screwdriver
• Needle-nose pliers
• A soft cloth
Step 1: Disconnect the Power Supply
Before beginning any repairs on your dishwasher, make sure that the power supply is disconnected. By doing this, you will prevent any damages or shocks.
Step 2: Remove the Old Injector Valve
Once the power supply is disconnected, you can begin removing the old injector valve. Use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the two screws that secure the valve in place. Once both screws are out, gently pull the valve out of its holder and set it aside.
Step 3: Clean the Holder
Check the holder for any dirt or debris and remove it using a soft cloth. Make sure the holder is completely clean before proceeding to the next step.
Step 4: Install the New Injector Valve
Take the new WP216201 Whirlpool rubber injector valve and insert it into the holder. Secure the valve with the two screws that were previously removed.
Step 5: Test the Valve
Make sure that the injector valve is securely in place and that there are no leaks. To do this, use a needle-nose pliers to hold the valve open and check for any water leaks. If there is a leak, make sure the valve is tight and secure before proceeding.
Step 6: Reconnect the Power Supply
Once you have confirmed that the new injector valve is properly secured and functioning, reconnect the power supply. Your dishwasher should now be ready to use again.
Congratulations! You have successfully replaced the WP216201 Whirlpool rubber injector valve. We hope that this guide was helpful in making this DIY project a success.
Please keep in mind, these instructions are for general guidance and should always be used in conjunction with the manufacturer's manual, if available.
