Parts for Whirlpool KUIX505EBS0: 03 - Evaporator, Grid, And Water Parts

The  Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool ice machines. It regulates the water flow to the ice maker, ensuring that the correct amount of water is supplied to produce ice. This valve is crucial for the consistent operation of the ice maker, providing the necessary water flow to create ice cubes effectively.

Over time, the ice machine valve can become faulty due to wear and tear, mineral buildup from hard water, or electrical malfunctions. A damaged valve can lead to issues with ice production and water flow within the machine.

Symptoms of a bad valve include:

• No ice production
• Insufficient ice production
• Water leaks around the valve area
• Ice cubes being too small or irregularly shaped

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
