Triple Inlet Solenoid Valve
Replacement triple inlet solenoid valve – compatible with Hotpoint, Ariston, Indesit and Scholtes washing machine models as shown unless advised otherwise
Description
This genuine triple inlet solenoid valve is identical to the original component fitted at the factory, providing the same reliable water control and precise fit for your washing machine.
It is manufactured to the original equipment specification and is designed to regulate the flow of cold water into the drum, opening and closing at the command of the control board to ensure the correct water level for each phase of the wash cycle. As a genuine replacement, it matches the quality and durability of the valve originally supplied with the appliance, helping to restore consistent filling and efficient operation.
The valve is used across a range of Hotpoint, Ariston, Indesit and Scholtes washing machine models, and the compatibility sections below show the known applications. Solenoid valves can look similar between appliances, so checking the full model number is the safest way to confirm the correct fit.
This part may fit models not listed, so please ask if you are unsure. Every effort is made to ensure the compatibility information is accurate, but production changes can occur. If in doubt, contact us with your full model details and we will confirm suitability.

Common Faults & SymptomsThe following symptoms are commonly reported when a triple inlet solenoid valve begins to fail. Use this as a practical guide before ordering a replacement — if more than one of these is present, the valve is the likely culprit. 1
Machine Will Not Fill with Water
The washing machine starts but no water enters the drum, or the fill stops almost immediately. A valve that has failed in the closed position cannot open to allow water through, preventing the cycle from running.
2
Detergent or Fabric Conditioner Not Dispensed
The machine does not draw detergent or conditioner from the drawer, or the compartments remain full. The valve may not be directing water to the correct section of the dispenser, leaving the wash without cleaning agents.
3
Buzzing or Humming Noise from the Valve Area
A buzzing or humming noise is heard while the machine is filling, or continuously. A failing solenoid coil can produce an audible hum as it struggles to open or close, even if water flow is restricted.
4
Machine Constantly Fills or Overflows
Water continues to enter the drum even when the machine is off, or the drum overfills during a cycle. A valve that has failed open or is not sealing correctly can allow water to pass continuously, risking a flood.
5
Error Code A9 or E1 Displayed
The machine may display an error code such as A9 or E1, which typically indicates a water inlet fault. These codes are commonly triggered when the valve cannot open, cannot close, or the flow rate is insufficient.
6
Cycle Taking Much Longer Than Normal
The wash cycle extends beyond its usual duration. A restricted valve can slow the fill, causing the machine to wait longer than expected for the correct water level before proceeding to the next stage.
7
Water Leaking from the Valve Area
Water is visible around the valve or dripping from the rear of the machine. A cracked valve body or a worn internal diaphragm can allow water to escape, particularly when the valve is under pressure.
8
Valve Coil Showing Signs of Burning or Corrosion
The solenoid coil or its terminals appear burnt, melted or corroded. This indicates electrical overheating or water damage and is a strong sign that the valve has failed and should be replaced.
Fitment GuidanceThis part is compatible only with the models listed in the compatibility matrix above. Even if a valve looks visually similar, the voltage, outlet diameter and connector type can differ between models.
Diagnostic TipsBefore concluding that the valve needs replacing, carry out these checks to rule out other causes.
Installation GuideThese steps describe the general procedure. The exact sequence varies between models, so always consult the appliance service manual where available.

Washing Machine
Water Valves
Water inlet valves are often model-specific or keyed for certain washing machines and washer dryers. Correct identification is vital to ensure the right fit.
Model-Specific Valves
Many washing machine and washer-dryer water valves are production-specific, with unique mounts or electrical connectors. Always order using your model number, and provide any additional details if required.
Using Generic Fill Valves
Universal valves can work for standard machines but may require adaptations. Use them at your own risk. They can save significant money but aren’t guaranteed to fit every keyed or restricted valve design.
Restrictors & Complex Valves
Twin or triple valves, or those with built-in restrictors, usually cannot be replaced with generic valves. Dishwashers often require the original valve due to pressure chambers or keyed designs.

Hotpoint
Spare Parts.
Hotpoint remains Britain's most ubiquitous appliance brand. Following the 2005 Indesit acquisition and subsequent Whirlpool ownership, it is now part of Beko Europe. This legacy means components are shared across Hotpoint, Indesit, Ariston, and Whirlpool machines globally.
The Data Accuracy Requirement
Hotpoint production involves constant technical revisions. To guarantee fitment, we require the Full Model, Industrial Code, or Serial Number. A part that looks identical may have different terminal configurations or thermostat tolerances.
Group-Wide Fitment
Many Hotpoint parts are identical to those badged under Indesit or Whirlpool. We use our technical legacy database to cross-reference these shared components, often identifying more affordable "group-standard" options that keep your appliances running efficiently.
Verified Suitability
As with modern vehicles, appliance parts change mid-production. Our standing advice is to ask our specialists to confirm fitment if you are unsure. We provide manual verification to ensure that the part you receive is exactly what your machine requires.
Confirm Your Hotpoint Parts
Don't risk ordering the wrong part for your washing machine or oven. Our technical helpdesk can cross-reference your codes against the entire Beko Europe network to find the exact component you need.
