Customer Questions and Answers for Valve by Whirlpool

Manufacturer Part Number: WPW10217917

The Water Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool ice machines. It controls the flow of water into the ice machine. When activated, this valve opens to allow water to fill the ice mold during the ice production cycle and closes to halt the flow once the mold is full.

Causes for a bad Water Valve can result from mineral deposits or debris, obstructing the valve and affecting its function. Electrical failures or wear and tear can also lead to issues like leaks or incomplete opening/closing.

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Water Valve include:

  • No ice or smaller than usual ice cubes, indicating an insufficient water supply.
  • Leaking water from the valve area.
  • Ice machine fails to produce ice despite being in proper working order otherwise.

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Answer

Will, There is no video showing how to replace the water valve on a icemachine. For this part you will need to shut the water off and remove the lower cover on the front of the unit. Once removed there will be 2 screws holding the valve in place. Remove the screws and disconnect the wire harness going to it. Once this is done, push on the yellow ring around the tubing on the valve and pull on the tube. This will pull the tube out of the valve. You would do the same thing on the other tubing and install the new one.
