Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (Part Number: OEM18059826)

Jake for Model Number WRS588FIHZ06

Icemaker is not producing much ice. Ran diagnostic tests and water coming to icemaker is at a slow trickle. Had a chunk of ice in the fill tube for icemaker, have removed and still have a trickle of water, also tried thawing with hair dryer, no improvement. Cold water dispenser is working OK. Wondering if this is a fill valve issue or something else. Fridge making less noise than usual when icemaker tries to fill. Is this a fill valve issue, or has the heater gone out and caused a different problem?

Hello Robert, thank you for contacting Appliance Parts Pros. The dual valve [WPW10341320] is in the machine compartment behind the inlet valve, you have to remove the main inlet valve to access the dual valve.

Tyson, Check to make sure that the water pressure coming to the refrigerator is not too high. The water pressure should be approximately 60 PSI for normal operation.

TW, the dual valve WPW10341320 / OEM24079758 would be tested for voltage during water activation. If there is not a clogged or frozen water line and the valve receives voltage and water but does not pass water through, the valve has failed.

Hello H, thank you for contacting APP, The description under the part is incorrect, the Water Inlet Valve WPW10341320 should be the one for your refrigerator and is only used on refrigerators. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello Tuna, thank you for contacting APP, This may be Ice Maker Assembly W10873791 / W10873791, the Water Inlet Valve WPW10341320 / WPW10341320, or the Refrigerator Control Board W11035841 / AP6039982. If you are hearing the icemaker cycle, but there is not water in the mold/tray, and the valve seems to be coming on to fill the icemaker, then it would likely be the valve.

Neil for Model Number Kenmore 106.51132 210

I have been troubleshooting my low ice cube production for about 6 weeks. First I noticed water that froze around the dispenser motor, thinking we had inadvertently left the door open. Then I discovered that the emitter and receiver seemed to be faulty and replaced both of them. That worked for about 2 weeks. Then all of sudden, water was randomly dispensing through into the ice reservoir greater the the 7.5 seconds and more than the 1.75 ounces. My options were replace the ice maker of the dual inlet water value. I replaced the ice maker. That worked for a about 4 to 5 days. Then over this last weekend I noticed the ice production was minimal to none. After some more troubleshooting, I determined that it was the dual inlet water value. Total parts replaced: 4 1. Emitter for Bin 2. Receiver for Bin 3. Ice Maker 4. Dual Inlet Water Value. The Dual Inlet Water Value is the last part replaced and has been installed and the refrigerator has been up and running with the value installed for about 18-20 hrs and the ice maker is barely producing ice and approximately 2 hrs. ago I activated the Accer-Ice feature. Request any guidance on what else the problem could be?

1 Answer

Neil, It is always recommended to give 24 hours for ice production and to fill the ice bin will maybe take a little longer. Keep in mind that the icemaker will make cubes approximately every 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Dave for Model Number WRS588FIHZ00

My ice maker stopped making ice. Upon inspection the ice tray is overfull and does not eject. Further, water seems to have overflowed into and coated the inside of the ice tank as well as pooling in the chute below the tank. I let everything thaw out and the exact same issue happens again. I inspected the wire harness at the bottom of the door and only the green wire was cut, which I repaired. No change to ice maker problem. Is the issue the ice maker itself or the valve?

1 Answer

Dave, You will need to cycle the ice maker to see if the ice maker is overfilling or if the water valve is not closing and is dripping in continuously.
