It is responsible for controlling the flow of water to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply of water. This valve opens and closes to allow water to enter the ice maker and dispenser as needed.

Causes of a bad fridge valve-inlet can include mineral buildup or debris blocking the valve, electrical issues, or general wear and tear from regular use.

Symptoms of a bad fridge valve-inlet include:

• No water or ice production
