Customer Questions and Answers for Water Inlet Valve by Whirlpool

David, There will not be a water level sensor as the icemaker would only call for water for a couple seconds. If the water continues to run then this will be a faulty water inlet valve.

David, You are most likely correct, and will need to replace the water inlet valve/ fill valve. Unfortunately, P1306101WL is not a refrigerator model number. The production tag(with the model and serial number) is usually located inside of the refrigerator affixed to the ceiling or near the ceiling on the side wall(s). If your refrigerator has an "add on" icemaker(single solenoid fill valve, then the W10833899 or 4318047, will most likely work, with little or no modifications. It's best if you can get us a proper modl number to be sure we get you the proper part. Thanks,

Terry, You will want to check the fill tube to make sure that the fill tube is not freezing and that the fill cup on the icemaker is not freezing. If this checks ok then you will want to check water pressure to the unit. If the unit has been pulled out recently for cleaning the water line could have been kinked. If this checks ok then the water valve would be the most likely cause for the issue.

Hello Charlie. You need to order and replace part number WP2315576 on the unit.

Lisa, you'll need to replace the water valve. The valve listed for your model is part number W10408179. Thanks.

Hello Phil. The model number you provided is not working. We will need your model number to help you with this. Please call 1-877-477-7278 or post your model number with a new question on the parts page. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx

KJ, You will want to pull the icemaker module off the icemaker and check to make sure that there are not burn marks on it. You could also start the icemaker in a cycle and check from V to N once it gets to the 11 oclock position to see if you are getting 120vac. If not then replace the motor module W10190935.

Hello Pete, The water valve or the ice maker can be the cause of the issue. The ice maker contains mechanical contacts, (points), that can burn and not pass voltage. You can apply 120Vac to the water valve and see if it opens and passes water and closes properly or you can send us your model number and we can send you some testing information for your model to your e-mail address. The information I am referring to contains pictures and cannot be posted in this format.

Norm, the replacment water valve only is part number WP67003753. Thanks!

Hello Steven, First off, let's take a logical approach to the units' operation. The ice maker is inside the freezer compartment. If the freezer compartment is warm, the water will never freeze and the cycling thermostat will never get down below the 20°F required to cycle the ice maker. This actually sounds to me that the ice maker might work if it's in a cold enough environment to cycle it. The freezer compartment should run from 0°F to 10°F without ever dropping below 0°F. Check and make sure the freezer fan and the fan in the back are running. Remove the rear cover and make sure the compressor is running by placing your hand on it and feel for the vibration. If it isn't running, remove the start device on the side of the compressor and shake it. If it rattles, it's bad. If these are working properly, you will have to remove the back wall of the freezer to check the frost pattern on the evaporator coils. The frost pattern should be just about even almost to the bottom. If there is an ice ball where the lines come into the freezer compartment, you have a freon loss. If there is no frost or ice at all, you may have lost all of the freon or there could be a restriction. In the case of a restriction in the sealed system, the compressor will be very hot. Let us know what you find.
