Simon S August 23, 2025 for Model Number LFX25978ST01 My lg refrigerator it’s dripping a little bit of water on the water dispenser when not in use , which water inlet valve should o replace? The primary or secondary? Also when I look on parts it shows (2) primary water inlet valves 619A & 619E, what’s the difference?
1 Answer Simon S, thanks for your question. Check to ensure the dispenser door is closing properly and that the water is not condensation. The water valve part numbers are: the primary valve AJU72992601-AJU72992601 and the dual valve MJX41869202-MJX41869202 Read More...
Steve December 11, 2024 for Model Number 795.77579600 My ice maker stopped filling the ice tray. But water on the door still works fine. If I pour water into the ice tray manually, it will freeze and dump the ice so it appears the ice maker is still working fine. The water inlet valve (AJU72992601) services both ice maker and water on the door. I did a reset on the ice maker by holding the button and I heard the water valve try to fill the tray but only a little water came out. When reset a 2nd time, I did not hear the water try to fill the tray. Is it possible the valve has become faulty only for the ice maker?
1 Answer Steve, it is possible that the valve in the door has failed. With the door switch placed in an activated state and the valve in the door accessed, the 1/4 inch tube solenoid can be tested for 120 Volts AC after pressing the ice maker reset button. If voltage reaches the valve at the end of the forced harvest and water does not come through, the valve has failed. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has discontinued the valve 5220JB2008A / OEM17767754 for the model provided and it is no longer available. Read More...
Dave June 04, 2023 for Model Number LFXS28596S/o4 The house has very good water pressure. It's to much when I try to fill a glass that has ice in it. Is there a way regulate the pressure at the spout?
1 Answer Dave, No, I am sorry the only pressure adjustment would be the house hold pressure. Read More...
Jenny March 24, 2023 for Model Number LMXS28626S/00 Hi there. I have a fairly new LG fridge where the water and ice share the same dispenser. It recently started to drip water, slowly by consistently, onto the tray. I spoke with LG and they walked me through several troubleshooting techniques on the fridge and nothing helped. In fact, they had me take out the water filter and put it back in and now instead of a drip it's a constant stream of water. It comes out through the dispenser and behind the dispenser lever. I was able to determine that when the ice tray fills with water, the tray overflows and the water starts running down the ice bin. Some gets inside the bin which freezes all the ice together and some runs down the outside of the bin. Nothing has changed as far as water pressure in my home. At least not to my knowledge. I don't know what could have happened to have caused my water pressure to change. It seems normal everywhere else. Is this possibly a water valve going out? If so, could you please recommend the correct part I would need based on my fridge model? Thank you so much!
Peggy January 26, 2023 for Model Number LMX25964ST/00 I'm not getting water to the ice maker or door is it in the water valve and is there two water valves on this refrigerator?
1 Answer Peggy, there are two valves in this model. The diverter valve MJX41869202 inside the bottom of the left door, and the main valve AJU72992601 in the back of the appliance. To identify if a valve has failed, the first step would be testing the main valve for voltage when the water dispenser is pressed. If there is voltage, the tubing going into the refrigerator can be removed, the port aimed into a cup/pitcher, and the dispenser pressed again to see if water comes through. If water does, the valve is good and the tubing can be put back in. From there, the diverter valve would need to be accessed (located behind the bottom door bin and access panel) so the incoming tubing can be removed and aimed into a cup. With the door switch taped down, the dispenser can be momentarily pressed to see if water comes through. If not, the filter ADQ72910911 would be the most likely cause of failure. If water does come through, the diverter valve would be the most likely cause of failure. Read More...
Matt W December 15, 2022 for Model Number LFX26596S I have water dripping from behind the push lever. Do you think I need a new valve replacement? How do I access the parts within the door? Looks like there is a compartment but how does it come apart?
1 Answer Matt W, Based on the information/model provided you would start by removing the dispenser cover ( usually a couple of screws from the bottom of the cover assembly). Our resources don't show the full breakdown, just the parts list. Read More...
Rusty June 05, 2022 for Model Number 79572063112 Kenmore refrigerator When getting water out of the dispenser it starts the pressure is there for a little bit then its like there is very little pressure. We replaced the water filter and the fan filter but no change in the water pressure. Any idea? Thanks
1 Answer Rusty, Check for proper pressure to the water valve from the house and then through the valve, you could have a restriction within the valve. Read More...
Kat November 15, 2021 for Model Number 79570333411 Water is not dispensing though it sounds like it is trying to. There is a click as per usual when the cup is pushed against the dispenser. Do I need a to replace the water inlet valve or the water valve assembly or both?
1 Answer Kat If ypu are receiving voltage at the water valve when the dispenser is pressed then the water valve would need to be replaced as long as the filter and filter housing is okay. Read More...
Mark November 10, 2021 for Model Number LFX25974ST/04 Ice maker does not fill with water. Door water still works fine, The ice maker seems to try and move when you recyle the on/off switch but no water to fill tray. Do I need a new water valve or start with new ice maker and what parts do I need. Thanks
1 Answer Mark, You will want to test to see if there is 120 Vac getting to the water valve and if there is not then the icemaker would be the issue. If there is 120 Vac then the issue will be the water valve. Read More...
David November 05, 2021 for Model Number kenmore elite ref. 795.71033.010 My ice maker overfills with water and leaks down on floor and inside of the refrigerator. After ice cubes have been dumped, water does shut off but too much is dispensed into the icemaker.
1 Answer Hello David, You should first verify the water pressure to the unit is between 50 and 90 PSI. If this is good, the water valve AJU72992601 is the common cause of this issue. MJX41869202 should be changed at the same time as per the manufacturer. Read More...
