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.
