Michael L. August 31, 2018 for Model Number SBD21VPE My issue started with a leaking primary valve, #12544001. When I replaced this, I had low water flow to the ice maker. Since I have replaced the secondary valve, #12544101 and then the ice maker, #D7824706Q and the problem still occurs. I have now traced the flow restriction back to the primary valve and found that the brown coil (to the icemaker is not opening). It is getting full voltage from the icemaker and I have verified that both the power and neutral lines through the harness to the valve have less than 1 ohm resistance. The valve hums when the ice maker attempts to energize it. I bought a second new part and it behaves the same, as does the old leaky one. I have found that if I take the connector (brown and white) from the ice maker and connect it to the blue (water) coil on primary valve 12544001, I get adequate flow to the ice maker. I have confirmed this both by manually initiating a harvest cycle and by jumping test points L & V on the IM module. Brown coil resistance is 193 ohms and blue coil resistance is 252 ohms. Neutral terminal (white) in valve connector has less than 1 ohm resistance to the refeigerator power cord. I’m stumped. Can you help?
1 Answer Michael, With what you have checked and the fact that there is voltage but the valve not opening would indicate that the water valve is faulty. It is possible that you received defective valves. Read More...
Ed July 25, 2015 for Model Number FRS22ZGG I was wondering if there was a compression water valve that replaces this. The tube I currently have is leaking near the end that fits into this valve. Is there one with a compression fitting that will replace this and say the secondary water valve?
Tom D April 29, 2015 for Model Number ARS 9167 AW Part number 1254401 does not look remotely like the one in your video. There is a brass water inlet and a threaded nylon outlet. Hints please.
1 Answer Tom, The video is to give you a general idea of installing the part. You will connect the water supply line to the metal threaded fitting. You will then connect the plastic water tube with the threaded fitting to the threaded part of the water valve body. Read More...
Dew June 24, 2014 for Model Number SRD 26 VL The valve on the back of my side by side Amana refrigerator has begun leaking water. The part number located on the back is 125 44 001. The refrigerator is approximately 15 years old. How do I repair?
1 Answer Hello Dew, This unit has two water valves. The primary WP12544001 and the secondary WP12544101. The primary is where the water line from the home water supply connects. Read More...
Robert R January 27, 2014 for Model Number SXD26V We have a Amana side by side model SXD26V. Water keeps running out of the ice make completely filling the freezer compartment. What causes this?
1 Answer Hello Robert. If you can turn off icemaker and stop the water, you will need to replace the icemaker. If you have to turn off the water, you will need a new water valve. Read More...
Chip July 07, 2013 for Model Number ARS2667AW My icemaker is only partially filling the tray the ice freezes in. The tube to the icemaker is clear. I disconnected the inlet hose at the back of the refrig and am getting good water flow there. I also am getting good water flow to my water dispenser in the refrig door. I am guessing one of the water inlet valves is not working right. Is there one that is timed for filling the icemaker tray? Is it the one after the water filter or the first one that the water line to the refrig hooks up to? Is there any further troubleshooting I should do before ordering the part? Thanks for any help you can give me.
1 Answer Chip, On your refrigerator, it could by either valve that has the fault WP12544001 primary valve( where the inlet water connects) and the secondary WP12544101 where the water tube to the icemaker attaches. The best option is to replace both valves. If you're only going to replace one valve, then replace the secondary valve. Read More...
Upser95 June 26, 2013 for Model Number 592.50392001 I have not water out of the door and the ice maker stopped making ice. I replaced the ice maker hose from house to frig and replaced the icemaker. I found the possible problem may be the [flow valve], is the water valve the same thing and will it fix my issue?
1 Answer Hello upser95. Check and make sure the filter is good. If so, then the water valve may be the issue with the unit. Read More...
Steve December 26, 2012 I have a Amana Ref. (water valve part # R0000242). I still get ice from my ice maker but I can't draw water. Do I need a new water valve? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Steve. If there is power to the water valve, and no water comes out, and the filter is good, you will need to order and replace the valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Don August 17, 2012 My water valve works fine but the Y fitting is broken. Is there anywhere I can get a replacement?
1 Answer Hello Don. No, the "Y" has been discontinued and you need to order and replace the valve WP12544001. Read More...
Calvin March 07, 2012 for Model Number 59658695890 Hello. I replaced the water filter the other day. After this was done, I try to remove the 3 gallons of water that is required. The water just stop coming out of the dispenser. Can you tell me what to look for now? Thanks
1 Answer Hi Calvin. When you replace the water filter, you only hold the actuator pad a few seconds at a time to cycle the air from the lines or the tank. It sounds like the plastic water valve overheated and fried. Use a volt/ohm meter to check the water valve coil for resistance and not open or shorted to the casing. Water valve part # WP12544001. Water Valve - "Y" Tube is discontinued, the old valve has a double water outlet, must change to this single outlet and eliminate the "Y" Tube. Thank You. Read More...
