Installed new water inlet valve and within a few hours the machine was cranking out cubes again. The wire harness to the valve was fragile and I cracked it getting it off, but the individual wires attached just fine to the new valve. The water line on my fridge has a built in reduction so you don't cut the tube for a new end...you use the end as it is from the last valve and hope for the best. It held fine and didn't leak.
