Water dispensor problem. Confirmed continuity, i.e. ~356 ohms across all solinoids. Also confirmed 120VAC to valve when button is pushed and water supply OK. However, when disconnected water discharge from Primary valve and push button, no water through valve. No idea how to check mechanical operation of valve? Also no way to check secondary valve as no water passes primary valve. I hate to spend money for both valves. Any ideas how to check second valve or confirm it's mechanical problem on primary valve?

Jl for Model Number GE TFX26KPDAWW

Answer Hello JL. If there is power to the primary, but no water coming through it, you will need to order and replace the primary valve on the unit.

Part Number: AP2071735 MFG Part Number: WR57X10023 This is the part I need, and the old one was definitely leaking where it shouldn't, but is there anything else I should consider replacing at the same time? The fridge is 11 years old, and has not given us any problems. Also, the water line could not easily be removed from the old valve ... is the new valve water line fitting a push into place style? Thanks in advance DJ

David J for Model Number PSI23SGMC BS

Answer DJ, You would just want to inspect the tubing for the water valve to make sure that it is not getting brittle. The valve should be the only thing to replace and is a push in style connector for the tubing.

Do I need a special tool to remove the water line from the valve WR57X10023 when replacing it?

Gus B. for Model Number TFX25PPBEWW

Answer Hello Gus. Depending on if the old one has the screw on fittings or the compression fittings, will determine the tool. If screw on fittings, just use a adjustable wrench. If it is compression fittings, press in on the fitting and the water line will pull out of the valve.

Fill tube on ice maker keeps freezing. Ice maker works fine with manual fill of water. Removed water line feeding ice maker fill tube and placed end in an empty glass. Over time there is a small amount of water in the glass. Does this mean my valve needs to be replaced? And which one do i need the short or long bracket? Thanks.

James for Model Number TFS28PPDABS

Answer Hello James, Yes, if the icemaker is cycling, and based on the test you did, the water valve WR57X10023 will need to be replaced on the unit.

Sometimes water comes out the dispenser and sometimes it does not. One minute water doesn't come out then two minutes later it does but sometimes it won't come out for hours but then eventually will come out again. Ice maker seems to be working fine. Could you tell me what's wrong? Thanks for your help.

Sam for Model Number TFX26ZPDA AA

Answer Hello Sam. Check the switch and make sure it is good. If so, then it sounds like the water valve WR57X10023 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit.

Hello, I have just received a used GE 22 QFMAWW side by side refrigerator. It is working fine except the water and ice part. When I push the water lever on the door, there is a hose under the refrigerator that squirts out all the water. It never makes it to the door. I followed the tubing and it goes into the fridge behind the compartment trays in this clear plastic box, from there it goes out of the box into a tube that goes into the control valve RIV-12AE on the right side. On the left side of the control valve there is a black tube that goes to the ice maker side. The inlet goes to the the water filter, then back to the main pipe. When I tested the valve and pushed the water button water sprays out of the right side, nothing comes out of the black side. My question is my valve defective, and why would there be a tube under the fridge that sprays out the water that should be coming out of the dispenser. Thank you so much for your help, Paul.

Paul for Model Number GSS22QFMAWW

Answer Hello Paul. No, it sounds like you have something in the unit that is not hooked up properly. Re-check the lines and see if one is missing or is not hooked together or cut. If it leaks out of the side of the valve, you will need to replace the water valve WR57X10023. Hope this helps. Hope this helps.

The water valve on my fridge has a tiny leak and is spraying water from it. I need to replace the valve and found this part (AP2071735) on your site. Can you verify if I have the right part? Do you recommend replacing only this valve or the second valve as well? How do you rate the degree of difficulty of connecting the water tubes? Thanks sk

Sk for Model Number tpx24bpbjbb

Answer Hello Sk. It is best you replace both valves WR57X10026 if one of them is leaking. This valve includes the primary and the filter valve in one assembly. Hope this helps.

I've performed the usual diags on the ice maker. The resistances are between 200-500 ohms on the solenoids. The self-test energizes (110V) the value as expected. What I've noticed is that there seems to ALWAYS be voltage (110V) across the connectors to each of the valves on the ice maker side when BOTH connectors are unplug; however, when at least one (and certainly both) is plugged in, the voltage is zero until energized by the ice maker. I don't see a similar behavior on the water dispenser side of the valves. Should voltage be present when both are disconnected and not present when at least one is connected? I replaced these valves not too long ago and the ice maker started producing ice again. I am wondering if this could be shortening the life of the solenoid even though there's no voltage present when both are connected? Other suggestions welcome. Thanks.

Randy for Model Number PSS27NGWAWW

Answer Hi Randy. You may be reading 120vac from one connecter to ground(chassis). However the other connecter will carry the neutral when the command is needed for thre device. This is common that "they" make parts cheaper than they did 25yrs ago and if for instance you have higher water pressure incomming to your home, the water valve is still a man made part and can fail early. Thank you.

Ice maker quit working? I shut the refrigerator down completly and there was Ice in the fill tube and was leaking in the freezer comp. I pulled the unit out and removed the ice then put it back together and it wont respond either with the fill tube not working or the ice maker making a noise that it is working?

Larry for Model Number tfx26zpda

Answer Hello Larry. Test and see if your getting power to the water valve when the icemaker is in harvest mode. If there is power there, but the valve does not bring in water, you will need to replace the water valve WR57X10026. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DM1. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html
