Allan January 20, 2017 for Model Number 106.71192101 Your video about replacing ice makers is GREAT. Before I order a replacement ice maker, or other parts, can you tell me briefly how the water valve (part 2315576 or 2210494) is replaced. Is that just as easy ? Thanks VERY much.
1 Answer Allan, Yes it is very easy to replace the water valve. You would simply pull the unit out and remove the cover at the lower part of the unit. Remove the screws holding in the water valve and turn off water and disconnect the tubing. Read More...

Laura December 19, 2016 for Model Number W2RXEMMWS00 I have a Whirlpool W2RXEMMWS00 refrigerator/freezer that is 7 years old where the ice maker started leaking into the cube tray. I removed the ice maker and all appeared to be fine. When I replaced the ice maker and turned water supply back on the leaking continued. Could this be the water inlet valve? If so is WP 2315576 the correct part?
1 Answer Laura, If the mold of the icemaker is not deteriorating then the water valve would be the issue and would be part number WP2315576. Read More...
Tom March 13, 2016 for Model Number ED22ZRXXW01 I have a whirlpool fridge with a single ice dispenser. I am currently on the the third water valve in 6 weeks. They are all failing electronically. Measuring the voltage I am seeing 124.4 VAC, when calling for water. What I thought was weird is I am seeing anywhere between 2 to 12 vac on that circuit when it isn't calling for water. My question is two fold, will this low voltage in the off cycle cause the failures I am seeing, and what is the correct voltage during the off cycle?
1 Answer Tom, With the water valve having failed several times within a few weeks then the issue would most likely be in the wiring of the unit or in the icemaker sending this extra voltage during the off cycle. The extra voltage could cause this issue. Read More...
Ricardo March 09, 2016 for Model Number 2210436 Hello The part number says 2210436 Model 70 FSP which is the right part to buy and do I need to purchase any adaptation?
Jj November 10, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Coldspot The water line I'm hooking this up to is copper with a compression fitting on it. Will that work with the new slip-on fitting, or do I need an adaptor? Will I just need to make a clean cut on the water line and de-burr before I attach to this new fitting?
1 Answer Hello JJ. The new valve still has threads for the copper supply line. There is no need to cut it. Read More...

2Txbolts July 16, 2015 for Model Number 79571602010 The water inlet for the ice maker not getting energized. Water still flows thru it when it cycles, but it sounds like water pressure forces water thru. Check inlet valve for continuity and there was none. Replaced inlet valve, no change.
1 Answer Hello 2txbolts. Make sure the freezer is between 0° and 5°. You need to check and see if there is power going to the water valve when the icemaker cycles. If so, replace the water valve on the unit. If not, or the icemaker does not cycle, you will need to replace the icemaker on the unit. Also, check and make sure the fill tube on the unit is not frozen and clogged. If so, replace the water valve and thaw out the fill tube. 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...
Traci June 24, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Coldspot Refrigerator 1069732613 Hello: We have a kenmore coldspot refridgerator with a top freezer and an ice maker, Model No. 106.9732613, Serial No: ED3116145. It appears to be leaking a lot of water from the ice maker and running down the sides into the fridge then filling underneath the crispers and running out and actually flooding unto the floor. Since the problem, we have turned off the water supply to the ice maker. With the amount of water, we thought that maybe the ice maker went into "Fill Mode" and just did not stop. Any suggestions on where to begin trouble shooting, bad water inlet valve? Thanking you in advance. Your company provides a wonderful service. Regards, Traci
1 Answer Traci, The first thing that you will want to do is to check the drain cup to make sure that it is not clogged up. It may appear that the issue is coming from the icemaker but in the refrigerator compartment at the back wall there is a damper. Next to where the damper is there is a cup that if it gets clogged will cause the same type of issue. If the cup is clear and it is not coming from the drain when it goes into defrost then the issue will be caused by a faulty water valve. The water valve part number is WP2315576. Read More...
