Fix water leaking under your fridge or a dripping dispenser with a new water inlet valve. Most DIYers complete this repair in 5-15 minutes. Video guide included.
Kenmore model 106.74252402 fridge with icemaker. Believe it or not, this was fixed with only a 1/4" nutdriver. The parts fit exactly and took 10 minutes each to replace. The most surprising was the inlet valve. I didn't need to cut any tubing since the old valve had push-connectors like the replacement. It was identical. Simply pushed the fitting to remove old tubing and pushed into new part. Pull off plugs and push onto new part. 2 screws hold valve to fridge frame. Screw cardboard cover... Read more
This water inlet valve controls the flow of hot and cold water into the washing machine tub during fill cycles. It is an electrically operated solenoid valve that opens and closes based on signals from the control board or timer. Replace this valve if the washer is not filling with water, filling slowly, leaking from the back, or continuing to fill when it shouldn't.
Water became visible as it accumulated at the bottom rear part (the part that is tilted back) of the washer drum. I theorized that the valve controlling water flow into the machine was to blame. I began my troubleshooting by going to Appliance Pros website where I looked for a Water Inlet Valve. I easily found this on the exploded parts diagram. After identifying the part that seemed to be the issue, I began reading other reviews from folks who were experiencing the same problem and who solved... Read more

Dishwasher leaking from underneath? The float switch kit controls water level and stops overfilling. Typical repair time 10-30 minutes.
Removed bottom cover, located leak at float switch, removed and replaced float switch kit. The toughest part of the repair was removing the Float & Retainer Assembly (in the interior of the machine tank) which broke when I pushed it back and pulled it straight up as suggested in the service manual. The Float Switch Kit (attached to, and below the float, below and outside the tank) has a folding plastic cover which fastens with plastic clips. If you open the switch kit before removing the...

Ice maker not filling or water dispenser not working? This refrigerator water inlet valve controls water flow to both systems. Push-fit connections.
This is a gas safety valve that controls the flow of gas to the oven burner. It works in conjunction with the oven igniter - when the igniter reaches the proper temperature, the safety valve opens to allow gas to flow and ignite. Replace this valve if your oven does not heat, the igniter glows but gas never flows to the burner, or you smell gas when the oven is turned off.
Replaced the old valve with a new one from AppliancePartsPros.com. I watched one of the YouTube videos to get an idea of what the process would entail. I gathered the tools I would require, plus a work light. The repair/replacement went pretty good. One thing the video I watched didn't cover was adjusting the valve for a propane system. I compared my old valve to the new one and saw that I would have to screw down the oven gas outlet until it "bottomed out". Read more
Ice maker overflowing or no water to dispenser? A faulty water inlet valve is likely the cause. Moderately easy DIY repair with our video guide.
Replaced both primary and secondary water valves to make sure I fixed the problem. Both valves have to open when you function the water dispenser and when the ice maker tray needs refilling. YouTube video was a great help and let me know that I had to lengthen one hose. The video showed me the exact parts I needed to lengthen the hose. YouTube video also let me know that I had needed to transfer the internal springs in the hoses when I cut the old connections off. Never would have known... Read more

Fix washer not filling, slow fill, or water leaks with this water inlet valve assembly. Moderate DIY repair, typically takes 30-60 minutes to install.
I replaced the water inlet valve assembly. We have relatively hard water and I assumed that over the years those inlet valves were clogged with calcium deposits which in turn led to the high pitched squealing as water was added to the machine. The hardest part of the entire job was releasing the top of the washer to disconnect the hoses from the valve assembly. Everything else was relatively easy. We simply followed the online video. My washer no longer screams and I'm thrilled! Your... Read more
