The Water Valve is an OEM component for GE side-by-side refrigerators. Located internally within the water dispenser assembly, this valve controls water flow to the ice maker and dispenser.
Causes of a faulty water valve can include mineral buildup restricting flow over time, gasket wear from constant opening/closing, and electrical faults impacting the valve's solenoid.
Symptoms requiring replacement are:
- Slow or inconsistent water flow from the dispenser
- The ice maker fails to fill or produces irregular cubes
- Water leaking into areas it should not reach
This OEM GE part fits additional appliances under the same household brand family such as Hotpoint, RCA, and comparable Kenmore models.
