Customer Questions and Answers for Valve by Whirlpool

The Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool built-in ice makers. Located within the water supply assembly, it controls the flow of water into the ice-making system. 

Symptoms of a bad valve include:

• Slow or incomplete filling during harvest cycles
• Erratic or no ice production  
• Water leaks around the valve area

Causes of failure can include mineral buildup over time restricting water passages or worn seals no longer regulating pressure as designed.

This Whirlpool part also fits ice systems from Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore.
