Dave April 13, 2015 for Model Number lfc25770st How can I tell if the valve is bad or the ice maker is at fault?
1 Answer Hello Dave. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Michael January 26, 2015 for Model Number 795.71609.011 Kenmore My ice maker works great most of the time. Then it will overfill the tray or put to much water in and I get a tray of ice that is a block. Do you think the water valve is going bad?
1 Answer Hello Michael. Either the valve is sticking or the icemaker is sticking and over filling. You will want to check both parts on the unit. Read More...
Clark December 12, 2014 for Model Number LG fridge: LFC25760SB Ice maker water valve 5220JB2010A came with the fridge. How is part # 5220JA2009D different? Picture is the same. I mistakenly ordered the D part. Thanks, Clark
1 Answer Clark, The only difference that I can see would be that on the new part for your water valve in the unit would have the wires physically attached to the solenoid. You will want to check to see if they can actually be disconnected and if they can be then the AJU55759303 water valve will work. If not then you will need to get 5220JB2010A. Read More...
Matt A. August 20, 2014 for Model Number LFC21770**/LFC25770** While away on vacation our ice maker started leaking out the back and damaged some hardwood. The unit was still making ice, but would leak an amount of water every time that the unit asked for additional water. This seems like an issue with the supply valve not shutting off. If so, can this be replaced individually? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Matt, This sounds like a water line has a pinhole. You will need to pull the unit put and make sure that, when the icemaker fills, water is not leaking or spraying from a line. It is a common failure as is the water filter having a hairline crack. The water valve 5220JB2010A can be replaced individually. Read More...
Jay December 16, 2013 for Model Number LRFC25750TT My icemaker line was leaking in the back. I purchased a new line but cannot seem to get it to seal in the old water valve at the lower or the inlet at the top. Do I need to order a new water valve and inlet to be able to seal this hose up? thanks Jay
1 Answer Hello Jay. If it does not press in and seal and not leak, you will need to replace the water valve on the unit. Read More...
Lsd August 19, 2013 for Model Number LF23760ST The ice maker water inlet valve is not working but I can't find a replacement part for model #LF23760ST. Where can I get one?
Patty A. February 10, 2013 for Model Number LFC25760SB The bottom of our freezer filled with ice and froze. The leak seems to be coming from the back of the freezer, back from behind what looks like the fake back wall, not overflowing from the ice maker itself. You can see the frozen trail of water. I'm not sure if we should be replacing the ice maker, the valve, or something else. My husband says that the tube outside in the back does not seem to be frozen - what else should we be checking before pulling it all apart for the wrong part? Any help is appreciated so we know to order the right parts. Thank you.

Dale R. February 09, 2013 for Model Number LG LFC25760SW Water to the ice maker keeps trickling out of feedline and over flowing the ice maker and fills ice pan. Water does not stop running so I turned it off. Does this sound like a control valve?
1 Answer Hello Dale, This is either low water pressure to the water inlet valve or the water inlet valve 5220JB2010A has failed. Read More...
Bernard October 29, 2012 The OEM valve does not have a blue plastic electrical connector like the valve you sent me. The red and blue wires are seperate leads with flat Stacon connectors. Unfortunately the AppliancePartsPros website does not show the electrical leads in any of the 5 photos for this part. 1. Is there a conversion kit for the refrigeration side of the electrical connection? 2. If I cut the leads on the valce I bought and it does not work can I return it for a full refund? Please advise, thanks.
1 Answer Bernard, First thing, try and include a model number of the unit you're working with, it makes research a lot easier. We seriously doubt you'll have any issues changing the wiring terminals on the harness to the fill valve. But, if there is an issue, yes you will be able to return the part, and recieve a refund for the part and any applicable tax. You will be responsible for any shipping costs, but that would be all.

Bernard October 25, 2012 for Model Number LFC25760SW My refrigerator valve has two standard flat stacon connectors, but the valve I received has a plastic terminal connector. While there are 5 pictures of the valve on your website, none show the lead wires? Is there a conversion kit/terminal assembly available for this valve? If I cut off the plastic connector on the two wires and crimp on stacon connectors and thae valve is defective, can I still return it for a 100% refund? Standing by...
1 Answer Hi. After an extensive research of the water valve wiring connector issue, I find no service bulletin as of date. In the field I have modified a locator tab on the unit wire harness connector to allow the connector to be pushed on the terminal fully. This is the correct part for your model #. The terminals are the same width so they are not polarity sensitive. If you need to use stake on connectors, just make sure you only strip 3/8" wire back to be able to crimp properly and not allow any extra wire strands to hang out and have a elect. short. Use the pull wire strength test to see if the wire pulls back out of the crimped connector. If it does then pay specific attn. on the crimp tool placement on the connector for the proper crimping action. We stand behind our products as warranty is listed as long as the part is not modified. Water valve part # 5220JB2010A. Thank You. Read More...
