Kenmore / Sears Refrigerator Valve

The Water Inlet Valve is an OEM part for Frigidaire refrigerators. It controls the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a steady and reliable water supply. This valve opens and closes as needed, allowing water to enter the ice maker and dispenser for proper operation.

Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include mineral buildup, wear and tear, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning valve can lead to problems with water flow, affecting the refrigerator’s ability to produce ice and dispense water properly.

Symptoms of a bad water inlet valve include:

• No water dispensing from the refrigerator
• Ice maker not producing ice
• Leaks from the valve area
• Unusual noises coming from the valve

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

This refrigerator water inlet valve uses an electric solenoid to control the flow of household water into the appliance. Replacing a failing valve helps restore proper ice production and reliable dispenser operation while preventing unwanted drips or overfilling.

• Opens when energized to allow water into the ice maker and/or dispenser; closes to stop flow
• Common symptoms: no ice or no water, slow fill or hollow cubes, continuous dripping/overfill, buzzing/humming with no water, or leaks at the valve area
• Restores correct water control and shutoff at the rear of the refrigerator

• Disconnect power and turn off the household water supply before servicing
• Pull the refrigerator forward carefully; place a towel or container to catch residual water
• Note tubing and wire locations to ensure correct reassembly; transfer any mounting bracket/fittings from the old valve if needed
• After installation, restore water and power, inspect all connections for leaks, and purge air from the line (run dispenser, if equipped)

This water inlet valve controls the flow of household water into the refrigerator system. Replacing a failing valve restores reliable water supply for functions like ice making and dispensing.

• Opens and closes to allow water into the refrigerator as commanded
• Common failure signs: no ice production, slow or no water from dispenser, intermittent fill, or leaks at the valve area
• May cause humming from the valve when energized but not filling

• Unplug refrigerator and shut off the water supply before starting
• Have a towel ready to catch any residual water
• Transfer any mounting hardware or fittings from the old valve if reused
• After installation, restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks

• Opens and closes to send water to the ice maker and/or dispenser as commanded by the refrigerator
• Common symptoms: no water from dispenser, no ice production, slow/weak dispenser flow
• May also present as continuous dripping into the ice maker/dispenser or leaks around the valve body
• If water lines and filter are clear but filling is inconsistent or absent, the valve may be at fault

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Place a towel or shallow pan to catch residual water; note line and wire locations for reassembly
• Ensure tubing is fully seated in fittings; avoid overtightening plastic connections
• Restore water and power, then check all joints for leaks and run the dispenser to purge air/debris

• Typically located where the household water line connects to the appliance

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Keep a towel or container handy to catch residual water
• Note hose and wire positions; take a photo for reference and transfer any brackets as needed
• Inspect/flush the supply line and screens; reconnect and check for leaks after installation

This electrically actuated valve controls the flow of household water into your appliance during operation. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper fill performance and helps prevent unwanted dripping between cycles. What it does:

• Opens and closes to admit the correct amount of water at the right time
• Helps maintain stable water pressure and shutoff to the unit
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no fill, slow/insufficient fill, water seeping into the tub when off, or leaks from the valve body
• May buzz or hum without allowing water flow when the internal coil or screen has failed or is clogged

• 1 water inlet valve

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Keep towels or a tray handy; some residual water will drain
• Note hose and wire orientations; transfer any brackets or fittings from the original valve
• After installation, restore water and power, check for leaks, and run a test fill cycle

This water inlet valve controls the flow of household water into the refrigerator's ice maker during fill cycles. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper ice fills and helps prevent nuisance leaks at the back of the unit. What it does:

• Opens when energized to supply water to the ice maker, then closes to stop flow
