How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6022336 / WPW10498990 Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve

Replaced water valve inlet, per conversations with tech from appliance parts pros. Their people really know their stuff. Just a note, check the part # on the appliance before ordering.in my case Frigidaire specified a different part # than original equipment. Thanks appliance parts folks. Will use this company again. 

I ordered the part from you and a local appliance repairman replaced the defective valve. 

Replaced the valve inlet and the icemaker. 

I bought inlet valve WPW10498990 for KItchen-Aid KFXS25RYMS0, which arrived very quickly. After removing fridge access panel I switched the valves. However, I noticed that due to a poor design, the polyproylene tube had 2 crimps in it, the "obvious" cause of slow flow. I accessed the extra tubing inside the fridge by removing the water filter, shelves, and back panels inside the unit. An feeding down enough tubing to trim the crimps. Checked for water flow -- nothing. Thought I might have received a defective part, re-installed old valve. Still nothing. Backtracked water flow, looked up at water filter - or where filter should have been, noticed I forgot to reinstall. Put in filter, checked flow - a trickle. Changed to new valve, all is well. 15-20 minutes to re-group the poly tubing inside fridge, reinstall shelving, reload refrigerator. And that's how a homeowner takes a 15-minute project and makes in almost 4 hours. Always allow at least 4 hours for even the seemingly simplest tasks. 

I fixed it my self called customer service she so helpful to me

I found broken part at back of refrigerator but could not figure how to remove it. I watched the video for the part and it made it very simple. Replaceenet was very simple.
