Принципи рада

The Whirlpool 358276 Inlet Valve operates automatically in response to signals from your appliance's control system. When the appliance requires water (e.g., during a wash or rinse cycle), the control system sends an electrical signal to the valve's solenoid. This signal energizes the solenoid, opening the valve and allowing water to flow into the appliance. Once the required water level is reached or the cycle progresses, the signal is removed, and the valve closes, stopping the water flow.
