Customer Questions and Answers for Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve by Ge

Ernie, In most cases the water valve would be the cause of this issue but you will want to make sure that you have a good filter in the unit and check to make sure that there is water flowing through the filter head because this could also cause the issue.

Hello Bill, This can be caused by sticky residue from ice splattering into drinks causing the switch WR23X366 to hang in the actuated position. The switch will need to be replaced if cleaning the actuating parts does not clear the issue.

Rome, The part that would be needed for the dripping at the water dispenser would be a water valve that is seeping and allowing water to flow into the dispenser even though it is not being depressed.

Joe, Yes, the most likely cause of the unit dribbling water from the dispenser but the icemaker working would be a faulty water valve. The part number for the valve is WR57X10024.

Dennis, You will want to check the fill tube that comes into the icemaker. This will be the most likely cause for the issue.

Hello. Check to make sure that the water line going into the icemaker is not frozen. If it is not, it could be that the icemaker is not cycling and calling for water and needs to be replaced. If needed, the icemaker is part number WR30X10093. Thanks!

Hello Frank, This is not a difficult repair. As long as you unplug the unit and turn the water off to it, all you need to remember is to remove one thing at a time and place it on the new part until the new part is interchanged. Once completed, remember to turn the water back on, re-establish the electrical connection, and check for leaks, THEN put the covers back on. If you follow this advice, you should have no problems.

Hello Bruce, As a repair technician I agree with that fully as long as the water pressure has been checked to the unit. There are cases where mineral deposits and sedimentation in the water supply actually stop up the line at shut off valves and junctions. If the water pressure is good, replace the valve. This unit has two valves so it would the WR57X10022.

Doug, The water valve may be the cause of failure. You will need to check voltage at the water valve to see if the valve is energizing when the icemaker calls for water. If there is 120 vac and the fill tube is not frozen then you would want to replace the water valve. In most cases the water valve is located on this unit under the front of the unit or it is located in the upper section of the unit.

Viet, You will need water valve part number WR57X33326.
