Marc June 11, 2021 for Model Number 10656872600 I have to change the water inlet valve. Ice maker was leaking. In the period of time before receiving the valve, how can i stop the water from flowing to my ice maker and still have water at the water dispenser. Thanks
1 Answer Mark, If you just turn the off the icemaker this should allow the dispenser to keep working. If that does not correct the issue then there would be no way to do this but it typically only takes a couple of days for the part to arrive as long as it is in stock. Read More...
Dee M. June 16, 2018 for Model Number 106.56234400 For Part Number W10822681 the Whirlpool Water Valve Inlet Kit it comes with a quarter inch tubing and a plastic fitting. Where does this tube with the plastic fitting installed on the refrigerator?
1 Answer Dee, The tubing and connector that come with this valve will not always be needed but would be the tubing that goes to the icemaker. Read More...
Teresa March 18, 2018 for Model Number EB2shasml1 My ice maker doesn't make ice any more is the problem the water intake valve? I have replaced the water filter and the water still works on it but I can't get it to make any ice
1 Answer Teresa, You will want to cycle the icemaker and once you cycle it you will want to check to see if the water valve to see if there is voltage getting to the valve. If there is then check to make sure that the fill tube is not frozen and if it is not then this will be a faulty valve. If the valve is not getting 120 vac then this will be a faulty icemaker.

Jerry July 31, 2017 for Model Number Whirlpool GS2SHEXNS00 My ice maker quit a few years ago so I removed it and just went with ice trays. No big deal, until one day I opened up the freezer and found ice all down the inside of the freezer. I pulled out the freezer supply line out and just ran the line down into my basement in case it ever leaked. Well sometime over the past few days it looks like when the water dispenser on the door was used it triggered the icemaker water supply too, because I have a large amount of water in the basement bucket I put there just in case. I had my wife go up and use the water dispenser and found that this is the case. After she was done the water still comes out, not that much but still drips pretty constant. Is this a faulty water valve that needs to be replaced? As mentioned before we only use the water dispenser, no ice is being made anymore. Thank you!
1 Answer Hello Jerry. Yes it sounds like the valve is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Jan R. March 01, 2017 for Model Number 106.56872602 The ice maker water over flowing on inside of freezer on side panel and kitchen floor. Now it's not making any ice at all. No water coming in to ice maker.
1 Answer Hello Jan, The water valve W10822681 should be replaced and the fill tube thawed since it will freeze up with clear ice if the water valve fails. Read More...
Alex June 14, 2016 for Model Number 10657869801 Kenmore Fridge I have an issue with, both, ice and water. I'm not getting flow to either or. When you depress the lever for water or when the fridge is attempting to make ice, there is a distinct electrical buzzing sound with no flow. Would this for sure be the inlet valve solenoid, or something else? Based on the videos, it looks like there is a solenoid for each. What's the possibility of both failing at exactly the same time?
1 Answer Hello Alex. Make sure the water is turned on and make sure the filter is good. If so, then replace the water valve W10822681 on the unit. Read More...
Morris May 15, 2016 for Model Number KSRA22CNSS00 The water from my fridge has a definite unpleasant odor. I change the filter very 6 months. The fridge has always been in use so no long periods of inactivity. Any ideas what may be causing the odor? I have read that it may be the plastic water tubing, is there a water reservoir tank in this fridge or is all the water contained in the coiled tubing? Thank you
1 Answer Morris, The water tube coil WP2256126 is the water reservoir(basically). It is a replaceable part, and you may want to consider it. Try this first, remove the water filter for a few days to a week, use the dispenser a few times a day, then see if the odor subsides in time. In some cases, water with a low chlorine content after it is filtered will allow deposits to develop and cause an odor in the water. Allowing the chlorinated water to flow through the dispenser tubing will usually remove the deposits and the odor and taste will subside. Read More...
Bob S. April 29, 2016 for Model Number KitchenAid (KSRB22FKBL14) On the quick connect fittings, my fittings on the valve inlet solenoid are leaking. I've made sure to insert the water tubing the exact same as you did in the video - with 90 degree straight cuts. Can the quick connect fittings be no good? It seems like this type of setup would be pretty foolproof??
1 Answer Bob, Make sure the tube ends aren't distorted, they have to be as round as possible, since you're sure the ends are cut straight and there are no burrs, or shavings remaining on the tube ends, try this method. Press in on the collar that surrounds the water tube, insert the tube as far as possible, (until the tube bottoms out and stops) release the collar and pull out on the tube "slightlly" to make sure the locking mechanism grips the water tube, and the tube is inside the fitting enough to seat against/in the "O" ring seal inside the fitting.

Jason Ferguson January 22, 2015 for Model Number KSRP22FNBL00 After reading about the issue of not getting ice online, I replaced the inlet valve. How long until ice production should start after replacement? If it doesn't start to produce ice should I assume it's the ice maker itself? Thanks
1 Answer Jason, After replacing the water valve it would normally take anywhere from 2 1/2 to 4 hours for the first batch of ice. It may come sooner but that is a relative suggestion. Then it will make ice about every 1 1/2 hours. Read More...
