Water inlet valve 3 outlets Candy 70006674 Original

The solenoid valve works as an automatic electric tap. Commanded directly by the electronic board (control module), it opens the internal valves in turn to allow water under pressure to enter the machine. The 3-outlet model is complex, having separate coils that distribute water along different routes, in order to take in exactly the type of detergent or fabric softener required at each stage of the wash.

When should the washing machine solenoid valve be replaced?

• The machine does not fill with water: A muffled buzzing can be heard at the back of the machine, but no water enters the drum at all.

• Continuous filling (risk of flooding): The machine takes in water without stopping, even when it is switched off at the button or unplugged (the internal mechanical valve has stuck in the open position).

• The fabric softener is not taken in: The machine takes in water for the wash, but at the end of the programme the softener remains untouched in the drawer (one of the 3 coils of the valve has burnt out).

• Leaks under the top cover: The plastic has cracked due to pressure or freezing, dripping water onto the internal components.

The product can be quickly identified on ElectroPiese and iauSiRepar by searching for the original code 70006674 or for the exact model of your washing machine (written on the technical label stuck to the inner frame of the porthole or on the back of the appliance).

If you have difficulty diagnosing the problem (in order to rule out a fault in the electronic board) or you want the part to be installed by a professional, the CineRepara platform connects you with qualified household-appliance repair technicians.

Frequently asked questions

1. Does this solenoid valve come with a mesh (filter) included?

   Yes, original solenoid valves are factory-fitted with a metal or fine plastic mesh at the water inlet (the side where the external hose is screwed on), to stop rust, sand or other impurities from the mains.

2. Why did the old solenoid valve burn out?

   Most often, the failure occurs because of too low water pressure in the mains, a mesh clogged with limescale, or voltage fluctuations that destroy the coils.

3. Can I fit a 2-outlet solenoid valve if I cannot find a 3-outlet one?

   No. The electronic module sends specific pulses for 3 coils. If you fit an incorrect valve, the hoses will not fit, and the machine will generate an error and will not work properly.

4. How can I tell if only one of the three coils has burnt out?

   It can be checked simply using a multimeter (set to Ohms). Measure the resistance across the pins of each coil; if one of them shows no value (open circuit), the solenoid valve must be replaced completely.

Installation warning

⚠️ Electrical and hydraulic installation warning:

Before removing the top cover of the washing machine, you must disconnect the appliance from the power supply and close the water tap on the wall. When you remove the old part, note the colours of the wires (or take a photo) so that you can reconnect each connector to its corresponding coil on the new valve 70006674. Incorrect connection will make the machine take in softener instead of detergent at the start of the wash. Make sure the plastic hoses are pushed well onto the 3 nozzles and secure them firmly with the clamps. For a trouble-free job, call on the CineRepara network.
