The Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is responsible for controlling the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser systems.
Symptoms of a faulty refrigerator water inlet valve include:
- The ice maker not producing ice or producing ice slowly
- Reduced or inconsistent water flow from the water dispenser
- Water leaks around the valve or inlet area
Causes of a bad water inlet valve can include sediment buildup or obstructions, electrical malfunctions, or normal wear and tear over time, leading to valve failure or improper operation.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore refrigerator models.
