Final cost depends on diagnosis, the exact model, parts availability and whether other damage is found. This is a typical range based on similar repairs, not a quote.
What the repair includes
- Diagnosis to confirm the failed part before ordering
- Checking supply pressure, house valves and hose screens
- Valve replacement and hose connection reseal
- Fill test on hot and cold with a leak check
Why the price varies
- Number of valve coils (some valves handle hot, cold and dispenser paths)
- Damaged or corroded supply hoses that should be replaced at the same time
When this repair makes sense
- Nearly always, when the valve is the confirmed fault; the part is moderate in cost
When replacement may be the better choice
- Rarely a reason to replace a washer on its own
Signs the water inlet valve may not be the problem
- A closed or partly closed house valve, or a kinked supply hose, looks exactly like a failed inlet valve.
- Clogged screens at the hose connection slow filling; cleaning them may be all it needs (Las Vegas hard water deposits scale here).
- A washer that keeps filling while off points to the valve, but one that overfills during a cycle can be a water-level sensing problem instead.
- Low-water wash designs use little water by intent; a shallow fill is not by itself a valve failure.
