Kenmore / Sears Refrigerator Valve

This water valve kit controls the flow of water from your home supply to the refrigerator's icemaker and/or dispenser. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve helps restore proper fills and dispensing performance. What it does:

• Opens and closes to supply water during icemaker cycles or when the dispenser is activated
• Can improve slow or intermittent fills
• Addresses leaks originating at the valve body or its connections
• Symptom-based clue: audible buzzing from the valve with little/no water flow

• One water valve kit

• Disconnect power and shut off the household water supply before servicing
• Place a towel to catch residual water and relieve line pressure
• Note wire and tube locations; cut plastic tubing square and fully seat into push-in fittings
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks and run a test fill

This replacement water inlet valve controls the flow of water to the refrigerator's dispenser and ice maker, restoring reliable water delivery and ice production. Designed to match OEM fit and function. What it does:

• Opens and closes to route water to the dispenser and ice maker when commanded
• Helps stop water flow when the dispenser is inactive to prevent leaks
• Commonly replaces failed valves that cause no water, weak dispensing, or continuous running
• Works as a direct-fit valve for compatible LG refrigerator units

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting work
• Handle connectors and tubing carefully; confirm tight, leak-free connections when reassembling
• Inspect and replace damaged inlet tubing or fittings as needed to prevent leaks

This water inlet valve controls water flow into the appliance, allowing the correct amount of water to enter during fill cycles so the machine can wash properly and drain when commanded. Reliable operation helps prevent no-fill or overfill symptoms. What it does:

• Opens and closes to allow water into the washer during fill cycles.
• Enables correct water level and filling timing when signaled by the control board.
• Commonly replaces failing valves that cause no-fill, slow-fill, continuous filling, or leaking at the valve.
• Works with standard inlet hoses and connector fittings used on compatible washers.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing.
• Note hose and electrical connector locations before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
• Tighten water connections securely and check for leaks after restoring water and power.

This inlet valve controls water flow into the appliance, restoring proper fill cycles and stopping leaks when a valve fails. Replace a faulty inlet valve to regain consistent, reliable water delivery. What it does

• Opens and closes to allow water into the appliance during fill cycles.
• Replaces a valve that can cause no water, slow fill, or intermittent filling.
• Stops unwanted water flow or continuous filling when internal seals fail.
• Prevents leaks caused by a cracked or worn valve body or seals.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any work.
• Relieve residual water pressure and place towels or a pan to catch drips.
• Basic hand tools required; follow OEM instructions.

This secondary water valve assembly controls water flow to the appliance's secondary water circuit, restoring proper water delivery for dispensers or ice makers. Replacing a faulty valve helps stop leaks and restore reliable filling. What it does:

• Opens and closes the secondary water path to allow water to the dispenser or ice maker
• Stops water flow when the appliance signals shutoff, preventing overfilling
• Commonly used when no water reaches the dispenser or ice maker
• Can be replaced to resolve intermittent flow, continuous filling, or valve leaks

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before beginning work
• Turn off and relieve pressure in the water line, then disconnect supply and outlet fittings
• Inspect and replace any damaged inlet hoses or seals; tighten fittings to manufacturer torque specs
• After installation, restore water and power, check for leaks and verify proper operation

The Water Valve Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It controls the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a steady and controlled supply. This valve opens and closes in response to electrical signals from the refrigerator, allowing water to enter the appropriate compartments for ice making and dispensing.

Over time, the water valve can wear out or become damaged due to mineral deposits, wear and tear, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning water valve can lead to problems such as water not dispensing correctly or the ice maker not producing ice.

Symptoms of a bad water valve assembly include:

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

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.

The Water Valve and Bracket Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It includes a water valve and a mounting bracket designed to facilitate the connection and operation of your refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser system. This part controls the flow of water into the refrigerator, ensuring that both the ice maker and water dispenser receive the proper amount of water at the correct pressure.

Causes of a bad Water Valve and Bracket Kit can include mineral deposits from hard water, which can clog or damage the valve, and normal wear that might cause the valve to leak or fail to open or close properly.

Symptoms of a bad Water Valve and Bracket Kit include:

• No water output from the dispenser
• Slow or no ice production
• Water leakage around the refrigerator

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
