General Electric Refrigerator BISW42ELD Leaking

The Dual Water Inlet Valve Kit is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. It controls the flow of water to both the ice maker and the water dispenser. This dual-function valve ensures that your refrigerator can produce ice and dispense water efficiently. The valve operates by opening and closing in response to signals from the refrigerator, allowing water to flow into the ice maker or water dispenser when needed. 

The dual water inlet valve may wear out over time, especially in hard water areas, leading to issues like no ice production, malfunctioning water dispenser, or leaks.

Symptoms of a bad Dual Water Inlet Valve Kit include:

• No water being dispensed
• The ice maker not producing any ice
• A slow or irregular flow of water from the dispenser
• Water leaking from the valve

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Ice Maker Water Line is an OEM replacement part for GE refrigerators. It is an important supply line that delivers water from the main water source to the icemaker component. The water line allows water to flow smoothly, facilitating the icemaking process.  

Causes of a bad water line can include cracks or punctures from impact or bending, mineral deposits and corrosion building up inside the line restricting flow, or improper connection fittings causing leakage.

Symptoms of a bad ice maker water line include:

• Irregular or insufficient ice production  
• No water delivery to the icemaker despite activation
• Noticeable leaks or drips near the water line attachment points
• Strange knocking or hammering sounds are heard when the icemaker is running

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Defrost Timer is an OEM part for GE refrigerators. This part manages the defrost cycle of the fridge and freezer compartments, ensuring that the evaporator coils do not build up excessive frost. 

This cycling is crucial for maintaining optimal temperatures for food preservation and energy efficiency. Over time, the defrost timer can malfunction due to wear, electrical issues, or a buildup of dust and debris, leading to poor performance or failure.

Symptoms of a bad Defrost Timer include:

• Frost buildup in the freezer compartment
• The refrigerator or freezer is not maintaining the set temperature
• The fridge or freezer sections are too warm
• The defrost cycle does not activate, leading to reduced cooling efficiency

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.
