Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Dual Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM18031326)

1 Answer

Hello Bruce. The fill tube is located on the back of the refrigerator and goes inside the freezer to fill the icemaker with water. You will press down on the plastic fittings on the valve to release the lines and use your hand to push the lines into the new valve. You should feel a click, when the lines are seated properly. The fittings are the round white and blue connectors in the picture, that you will push down to release. Hope this helps.

Hello Bruce. These are compression fittings. You can press in on the plastic fittings and the water lines will pull out. You do not need to cut the lines. Then they will press into the new water valve. Make sure you get them pressed all the way down until they lock into the new valve. Hope this helps.
