The Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool side-by-side models. This valve regulates water entry to the ice maker.

Causes of failure can include worn solenoid coils leading to inconsistent opening/closing, stripped plastic stems from over-torquing common with mineral buildup areas, or severed wire connections rendering the valve inoperable.

Symptoms involve:

  • Inoperative or slow ice production
  • Ice maker not filling or making ice cubes fully
  • Water leaking or pooling near the valve body

This is a genuine Whirlpool OEM replacement this part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models.

Note: On some models, there is a separate water connector from this valve. Order part# WPW10445062 for that connector.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Valve-Inlt (Part Number: OEM17955354)

1 Answer

Hello Frank, The water pressure to the unit should be the first thing checked. If it is low, the water valve will not close properly, since water pressure is all that closes the valve. If the water pressure is sufficient, replace the water valve W10822681 and the issue should be resolved.

Hello Bob. It does not matter as long as the dispenser is on the correct solenoid and the icemaker is on the correct solenoid.

Hello Allen. If the icemaker is not filling, yes, you can swap wires and press the dispenser to see if it fills the icemaker. Also, apply 120 volts to either solenoid, and the water should flow. If not, it is a bad valve.

The new part also comes with instructions to install the part on your refrigerator. You shouldn't have any issues replacing and installing the replacement part.

Hello Dave. You will need to cut the end off the line so it locks into the new valve. It sounds like it is formed from the compression fitting. It needs to be smooth and flat to install properly on the cut.

Steve, You will want to check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen. If the fill tube is frozen then you will need to clear the fill tube and replace the valve. If the fill tube is not frozen then you will want to pull the motor module off the icemaker and check for burn marks on the back of the module. If it is burnt then you will need to replace the module.
