Jeff June 27, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool water valve 2315508 My icemaker makes ice fine. But the water does not shut off, I get a build of ice down the rear inside panel and also icicles on the shelf grate at the front of the ice maker. Is there a remedy for this, or should I get a new valve? Also, how much voltage should I have at the connector?
1 Answer Hello Jeff, You will have to replace the water valve WP2315576 to correct this issue. Read More...
Tony May 31, 2014 for Model Number Whirlpool refrig model #SD20TKXDWO1, ser# SF5067469 I need an ice maker water inlet valve for an Whirlpool refrigerator model ED20TKXDW01. Which valve is the correct one to order?
Anthony April 30, 2014 I changed my water inlet valve and water is not going into tube that leads to ice maker. Can you please help me?
1 Answer Hello Anthony, You need to make sure you have turned the water back on to the unit and then verify voltage to the water valve. Also make sure the wires to the water valve solenoid have been connected to the new valve. Since the voltage is sent to the water valve by a set of contracts in the ice maker, the icemaker could be at fault. Also make sure there is no clear ice build-up in the fill tube. For more in depth assistance, always include the model number from the units' I.D. tag. Read More...
Louis April 21, 2014 for Model Number Water valve (to ice maker) #2181702 (for a Kenmor fridg. #106. 9550681) Water valve, to the ice maker of an old 1995 #106.9550681 Kenmore Coldspot refrigerator. Regarding the electrical connection, there is no markings on either connection, as-to how the 2 male connections (from the valve) connects to the 1 beige & 2 white. Does it matter?
1 Answer Hello Louis, This connection is not polarized so as long as they are connected, which way they are connected will not change the operation. Read More...
Robert H April 10, 2014 My ice maker stopped making ice so I checked to see if the ice maker was still cycling and it was. I replaced the water valve and it worked one time. I replaced the water valve again and it did the same thing, worked one time and not again. What is causing the water valve to stop working?
1 Answer Hello Robert. You need to check the freezer temp and make sure it is 0 to 5°. If so, then it sounds like you need to replace the icemaker in the unit. Read More...

David November 08, 2013 for Model Number PS1484648 I replaced the water inlet valve to the ice maker but still no water coming out of the valve, I do have water comming in. What should I look for next?
1 Answer Hello David. 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...

Allan July 16, 2013 for Model Number 2315576 My original valve has a screw type outlet connection on it, the new replacement valve has some other type of fitting on the outlet side. How do you connect the outlet tube to the new valve.
1 Answer Hello Allan. You cutt off the lines where they are smooth and straight. Then insert them into the compression fittings until the bottom out and lock into the fitting. Read More...
