I had to do a washer repair on my washer, and since I had to disconnect the hoses, I cleaned out the screens on the inlets for the water. I noticed that the water inlet valves for the whirlpool direct drive washer from 1991 have very small inlet holes for the water to enter. I am curious as to why the inlet valves are so small and why aren't the holes in the valves larger in size to let the water enter the machine at a faster rate than tiny little holes that are there. Is there a reason that the holes are so small, so if you choose warm water the water entering the machine is at a 50/50 mix. I am wondering about this setup, should the openings be larger to allow the water to enter the machine at a faster rate. Wondering what the reason for this is. The water comes into the machine at a good rate of speed now, and I wouldn't want to mess with this. Thanks
