The Valve is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. As a critical ice maker component, the valve controls the flow of water to fill the mold and release ice cubes.
Causes of a bad valve can include mineral buildup disrupting water passages over time, worn internal seals, or damage from freezing.
Symptoms of a bad valve are:
- Irregular or incomplete ice filling in the mold
- Ice cubes sticking or failing to eject properly
- Water leaks inside or outside the ice maker
- Pressure issues preventing the ice maker from operating
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, and some Kenmore models.
