Manufacturer Part Number: W10822681

The Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool side-by-side models. This valve regulates water entry to the ice maker.

Causes of failure can include worn solenoid coils leading to inconsistent opening/closing, stripped plastic stems from over-torquing common with mineral buildup areas, or severed wire connections rendering the valve inoperable.

Symptoms involve:

  • Inoperative or slow ice production
  • Ice maker not filling or making ice cubes fully
  • Water leaking or pooling near the valve body

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.

Note: On some models, there is a separate water connector from this valve. Order part# WPW10445062 for that connector.

Answer

Hello Patrick, My first suggestion is to change the water filter. If the water filter has been changed or by some chance there is no water filter, I would recommend to close the water valve to the unit and remove the water line from it. Place it into a bucket or a plastic trash can where it cannot come out while you turn the water on to check the water pressure to the unit. If it seems like you have sufficient water pressure there, I would at that time replace the water inlet valve.
