Robert March 07, 2014 for Model Number Amana Frig DSR246RBC I have to purchase a compression elbow for the valve you sent me (Kit, Water Valve, Part Number:AP4009555 MFG Part Number:12002193), because the backside or input line on the valve has a 90 degree elbow and is pointing away from my input delivery line and my plastic line has "no" slack in it and it's preventing me from mounting it to the back plate for a secure attachment. What I want to know is what size is the input line- 1/4" or 5/16"?
Robert March 03, 2014 for Model Number Amana Frig DSR246RBC I ordered a replacement secondary water valve. The valve has a sticker on it with number 12544111. The part number on my email is AP4009555 (12002193). My concern it the wiring harness sizes are the same 1/4". All the video refer to them being 3/16" on one and 1/4" on the other. Did you send me the wrong valve?
1 Answer Hello Robert. The valve you received is the correct replacement valve from Whirlpool. The part number [12002193] is Whirlpools number for the kit. The part number on the actual valve should be 12544111. Read More...
Jedd February 28, 2014 for Model Number psd264lgrw The line feeding the water to the icemaker continues drip after the cycle is done but very slowly. Eventually the water gets into the icecube tray and the icecubes all stick together. I have been disconnecting the power to the icecube maker after the tray is filled with cubes and point the line down to a bowl that eventually fills up and the line freezes with water in it. I then use a hairdryer to start this crazy process again. I am guessing it is not the primary valve, but the valve kit which is like a secondary vavle. The videos on your site appear to be the same for the primary and secondary valve replacement. Is this correct?
1 Answer Hello Jedd. You need part number 12002193. As for the video, it is a general repair and is not model specific. Your repair will be a little different, but it shows you a general idea. Read More...
Jon February 17, 2014 for Model Number Amana ARS2464BB Hello, I have an Amana ARS2464BB. The secondary solenoid split on the inlet side. I want to replace it but the photo doesn't look like the one I have. My unit is all compression screw connections and not the push fit. The inlet comes straight out, not at a 90 degree as the one pictured. Also the mounting bracket on mine seems to be about an inch longer. The part number on mine is 12544102. Will this other part work in my unit?
1 Answer Hello Jon, This 12002193 is the factory replacement valve for your unit. All you have to do is cut off about 1/4 inch of the existing line to eliminate the indentation made by the compression fitting and push it into the valve fitting. When it bottoms, push a little harder and it will pop in about another 1/4 inch. Pulling on the line sets the seal. Read More...
Cooper February 01, 2014 for Model Number Kenmore Model 596.73503201 I have a Kenmore Model 596.73503201. My ice maker works fine. My interior water dispenser works fine, however, it has a slow drip. Should I replace valve 12002193 with AP4009555? Other suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Cooper. Remove the water line from the water valve and see if it drips. If so, replace the valve on the unit. Read More...
Bob R November 25, 2013 for Model Number ARB8057CSR I have been going back and forth with customer service, first installing a new ice maker (order #3830158) AP4135008, secondly I thawed the fill tube which was frozen. Still no water entering the ice maker. Customer service advised there are two water valves for my Amana Unit, AP4013716 (Primary) and AP4009555 (water valve kit), #10 and #18 respectively on the back wall diagram. Rather than incur the expense of both valves I wanted to determine which valve most likely is the problem. I get water to my water dispenser but not the ice maker. Since the secondary valve feeds both the water dispenser and the ice maker would it make sense that a bad selonoid to the ice maker is the issue since it may be leaking into the fill tube and freezing? Or do you advise both valves be replaced. I sent a similar email on or about 11/21 and did not get a response as of yet
Aaron February 24, 2013 for Model Number ARS266ZBB I had to order both the primary and secondary valves on a fridge I own. The previous owner had left it in a garage over the winter and left water in it, destroying the valves. I am not sure in which location each of the water lines attach as both valves were both blown to bits. I was hoping that you may be able to provide me with an answer on the hook-up location of the water lines. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Aaron, The WP12544002 is the primary water valve. The water line to the unit attaches to this valve. The output from this valve connects to the secondary water valve 12002193 inlet at the connection that points 45° to the side. From here, the 1/4 inch line goes to the ice maker. The 5/16 inch line goes to the water filter housing and from there to the water tank then across the bottom of the unit into the door hinge to the water dispenser. Read More...
Robert W. February 12, 2013 for Model Number ARS2464bw I replaced the ice maker for my amana fridge because the old ice maker appeared to be leaking water into the ice bucket making one large clump of ice. This unit is doing the same thing, I turned the small water supply screw down but that did not help. I don't believe the ice maker is bad because I was watching the water going into the fill cup of the ice maker out of the feed line and it was splashing all over, could this be one of the feed/water valves? Your tech did answer this question for me he said to replace part #12002193 water valve kit I ordered it from you (order #3141538) installed it today but the water is still splashing into the ice maker fill cup, Could there be anything else?
1 Answer Hello Robert. Make sure the fill tube is positioned in the cup properly. You may needs to cut an angle on the end of the tube to prevent the issue you are having. Read More...

Rick B June 17, 2012 for Model Number ARB8057CSR I have a water supply valve (part#12544108) that is similar, but not exactly like your part AP4009555. I have a leak from one of the press-in fittings on the outlet side, and I'm wondering if there is any way to leak proof the connection, or will the whole valve assembly need replacement? The tubing appears to be okay, but apparently the seal in the fitting is imperfect.
1 Answer Hello Rick. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the water valve 12002193 is bad and will need to be replaced. Read More...
