No water or ice? Secondary water valve controls flow to dispensers and ice makers. Common fix for no dispensing, leaks, or ice maker failure.

This water inlet valve controls water flow to the refrigerator dispenser and ice maker, restoring proper dispensing and ice production. It replaces a failed or leaking valve to stop drips and ensure steady water fill. What it does:

• Opens and closes water supply to the dispenser and ice maker when activated
• Stops water flow to prevent leaks when the valve is closed
• Helps restore normal dispenser flow and consistent ice maker fills
• Commonly replaced for leaking, no water dispensed, or weak dispenser flow

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any work
• Drain lines and have towels ready; valve replacements can release trapped water
• Basic hand tools required; avoid overtightening fittings to prevent damage

This water inlet valve controls water flow to the refrigerator's ice maker and dispenser so ice production and water dispensing work reliably. Replaces a worn or failed valve to restore proper filling and water delivery. What it does:

• Opens and closes water flow to the ice maker and dispenser when signaled
• Can stop water flow when the valve or solenoid fails, causing no water or no ice
• A worn valve may cause weak/no water dispensing or slow/fail ice production
• May leak if seals or valve body fail, so replacement stops persistent leaks from the inlet area

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any work
• Install in the same orientation and secure inlet/outlet fittings per OEM instructions
• Inspect tubing and fittings for damage and replace any compromised parts to prevent leaks

This dispenser valve assembly controls water flow to the fridge door dispenser for reliable dispensing and shutoff. It replaces a failed valve to restore proper water delivery and stop unwanted dripping or leaks. What it does

• Opens and closes the water passage when the dispenser actuator is pressed to deliver water to the glass.
• Seals the water line to prevent drips or continuous flow when the dispenser is idle.
• Helps stop intermittent dispensing or no-water issues caused by a faulty valve.
• Works with the door dispenser plumbing—electrical/connectors remain unchanged.

• Disconnect power and shut off the refrigerator water supply before starting.
• Remove the refrigerator door panel or access cover per your model's service instructions to reach the valve.
• Verify electrical connector seating and water line fittings are secure; replace any damaged tubing or seals.
• Test for leaks and proper dispensing after restoring power and water.

If your washer won't fill with water or fills too slowly, the water inlet valve may be clogged or faulty. This replacement valve restores proper flow.

Burner won't light or flame is uneven? This cooktop top burner valve controls gas flow to individual burners. Common fix for flame control issues.
