Kenmore 7957205 Icemaker Top Unit Parts

The Water Valve Assembly is an OEM part for LG refrigerators. It controls the flow of water into the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a steady and controlled supply. This valve opens and closes in response to electrical signals from the refrigerator, allowing water to enter the appropriate compartments for ice making and dispensing.

Over time, the water valve can wear out or become damaged due to mineral deposits, wear and tear, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning water valve can lead to problems such as water not dispensing correctly or the ice maker not producing ice.

Symptoms of a bad water valve assembly include:

• No water dispensing from the refrigerator
• Ice maker not producing ice
• Leaking water from the valve area
• Unusual noises coming from the valve

This OEM LG part is also compatible with Sears/Kenmore.
