Kitchenaid Refrigerator Valve

This smart electronic valve regulates on/off flow inside the appliance under command of the control system, helping the unit fill, dispense, or operate as designed. A precise, electronically driven valve is critical for consistent performance.

• Opens and closes when energized to start or stop flow to the connected system
• Coordinates with the control board for timed, accurate operation
• Helps prevent overfill or underfill conditions
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no fill/flow, slow or intermittent flow, continuous flow when off, leaks from the valve body, or related fill/flow error codes

• Disconnect power and shut off the appliance's supply line upstream before servicing
• Keep towels or a container handy to catch residual fluid when lines are disconnected
• Transfer connectors and any reusable brackets from the old valve to the new one, matching orientation
• After installation, restore supply and power, then check all connections for leaks and proper operation

This small filter sits inside the refrigerator's water inlet solenoid valve to trap sediment from the household water supply. Replacing a clogged or damaged filter helps protect the valve and can restore normal water dispenser and ice maker flow.

• Filters debris from the incoming water line to protect the inlet valve and water system
• Useful to replace when sediment or scale is found during valve maintenance
• Fits in the valve's inlet port to keep particles out of the valve body

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access the rear water inlet valve, relieve line pressure, and remove the supply line
• Pull out the old filter from the valve inlet and fully seat the new filter
• Restore water, check for leaks, and purge air by running the dispenser

This single-solenoid water inlet valve controls the flow of water from your home supply into the refrigerator's water system, typically feeding the ice maker. A failing valve can stop fill, cause slow or inconsistent fills, or allow unwanted seepage.

• Opens and closes when energized to regulate water to the appliance's water circuit
• Common symptoms: no ice production, small or hollow cubes, water seeping into the ice maker, or leaks at the valve
• Electrical failure (open coil) or mineral debris can keep the valve from opening or closing properly
• Restores proper water fill and reliable shutoff when replaced

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Label or photograph tubing and wires for correct reassembly; cut plastic tubing square and fully seat it
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks

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.
