Wayne Isbell March 01, 2021 for Model Number 106.56702500 What are symptoms of a defective water valve, and where is it located on the refrigerator?
1 Answer Wayne I, This could be no ice, no water to the ice maker, water leak, etc. Based on your model number the water valve is located in the back, in the machine compartment. Read More...
Paul May 09, 2020 for Model Number Kitchen Aid KSRS25RSMS01 Water appears to be dripping from the ice maker into the ice bin. Icemaker works but ice in bin freezes into solid mass. Replaced valve about 8 mos ago and it worked for a while, now back to the solid ice block. Please advise.
Steve February 04, 2020 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 10656706500 Over the past few months the water flow rate at the dispenser in the door has been slowing. Purchased new filter, still slow. Now slowed to barely a trickle, and the ice maker is only making a few cubes at a time, only filling up one or two and then stopping flow. I assume this water valve is what I need to replace?
1 Answer Hello Steve, This could be an issue with the filter housing WPW10121138 or the water pressure being supplied to the unit from the home plumbing. Read More...
Carl July 27, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 10657703703 Aloha and thank you for your help and recent advice, much appreciated. (how to turn off ice maker) Originally, the intake dispenser valve was leaking and there was overflow in the ice maker. So, -I replaced the intake valve, but there was no water flowing to the ice machine, water dispenser on door works. -My infrared sensor wasn't lighting up so I replaced the infrared sensor, but still no water going into the ice maker. -I checked the dispenser tube to the ice maker, no blocks. -Water pressure is the same as before the ice maker stopped working. I guess the last thing to check is if the ice maker is bad? I saw on the forum the instructions, but I'm a bit unclear on how to determine if the ice maker is bad or not. Based on what I've described, what do you think? Thank you.
1 Answer Carl, based on the information provided, it would more than likely be the ice maker 2198597 causing the issue as the IR sensor has been replaced as well as the water valve. Read More...
Carl July 17, 2019 for Model Number Kenmore Elite 10657703703 Aloha! I really appreciate the information you provide here, extremely helpful. I had some issues with cracked lines and I think leaks from the intake valve. I fixed the lines, I think, but had a small drip from the 5/16 intake valve connection point, but I managed to eliminate that by using an elbow union to keep the line more upright going into the intake valve. Water dispenser works, but the ice maker is overflowing. Is there a way to turn keep water from the ice-maker but keep the dispenser flowing? I ordered a new intake valve but would like the water dispenser functioning if possible while we wait for the part. Thank you!
1 Answer Carl, there would not be a way to shut off specifically the ice maker side of the water line as there are no manual shut off valves in the water system. If the water is flowing too much into the ice maker but is not leaking by when the ice maker is not calling for water, then the ice maker can be turned off by sliding the optical sensor on the right to the off position.

James June 03, 2019 for Model Number gs6nvexsl00 ice maker is not producing ice seems like no water is going to it and its not frozen
1 Answer James, You will want to check for 120 vac at the water valve as the icemaker cycles. If the ice maker cycles completely and no voltage appears then the ice maker would need to be replaced. If you get the voltage as the ice maker cycles then replace the water valve. Read More...
Don April 15, 2019 for Model Number KSRT25CRWH01 I replaced the water inlet valve but the ice maker still overflows. Can I buy just the control board located in the assembly?
1 Answer Don, the control module W10190935 can be replaced separately from the entire ice maker assembly. However, the control on the smart valve is not available separate from the valve itself. Read More...
Ki January 12, 2019 for Model Number Whirlpool GS6NBEXRL01 On my Whirlpool GS6NBEXRL01 refrigerator, water started to drip a very little every few minutes or so through the water spout. Some times more frequently and sometimes less frequently. Reading some Q&A here and others made me believe that I needed to replace the Water Inlet Valve. So I did, but I continue to have the same problem. Maybe the amount/frequency has gotten lower than before, so it's less noticeable, but I can see it still drips. What else can be wrong? I asked about another question about when I push out the water filter, the water started to splashes out and I was told the filter housing needs to be replaced. Can filter housing also cause this water dripping through the water spout problem?
1 Answer Li, if you have a leak in the plastic water line anywhere in the water system it will drip. The water line needs to me in a vacuum so that no air is introduced into the line. When air gets into a water line, it will leak. Check all your connections, all the way back to the water valve to see if there is a loose connection. Read More...
Mel April 17, 2018 for Model Number GF6NFEXRQ01 While getting water out of door dispenser, water stopped flowing. Then there was a noise in the back of the refrigerator with a loud clicking sound. After waiting a few minutes I tried again and a little water came out then it made the noise again and no water. The only time noise is made is when the dispenser is pushed in to receive the water. Could this be a the water inlet valve?
1 Answer Hello Mel. Yes, If the noise is coming from the valve, you will need to order and replace the water valve on the unit. Thank you. Read More...
Jim June 01, 2017 for Model Number GS6NVEXVS01 Valve # WPW10159839, what is the function of the circuit board on this valve assembly? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jim. The board receives a signal from the board to open and close the water valve based on the unit needing water. Read More...
