Whirlpool Refrigerator Valve

This electrically actuated valve controls the flow of household water into your appliance during operation. Replacing a sticking or leaking valve restores proper fill performance and helps prevent unwanted dripping between cycles. What it does:

• Opens and closes to admit the correct amount of water at the right time
• Helps maintain stable water pressure and shutoff to the unit
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no fill, slow/insufficient fill, water seeping into the tub when off, or leaks from the valve body
• May buzz or hum without allowing water flow when the internal coil or screen has failed or is clogged

• 1 water inlet valve

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Keep towels or a tray handy; some residual water will drain
• Note hose and wire orientations; transfer any brackets or fittings from the original valve
• After installation, restore water and power, check for leaks, and run a test fill cycle

This smart electronic valve regulates on/off flow inside the appliance under command of the control system, helping the unit fill, dispense, or operate as designed. A precise, electronically driven valve is critical for consistent performance.

• Opens and closes when energized to start or stop flow to the connected system
• Coordinates with the control board for timed, accurate operation
• Helps prevent overfill or underfill conditions
• Common symptoms of a failing valve: no fill/flow, slow or intermittent flow, continuous flow when off, leaks from the valve body, or related fill/flow error codes

• Disconnect power and shut off the appliance's supply line upstream before servicing
• Keep towels or a container handy to catch residual fluid when lines are disconnected
• Transfer connectors and any reusable brackets from the old valve to the new one, matching orientation
• After installation, restore supply and power, then check all connections for leaks and proper operation

This small filter sits inside the refrigerator's water inlet solenoid valve to trap sediment from the household water supply. Replacing a clogged or damaged filter helps protect the valve and can restore normal water dispenser and ice maker flow.

• Filters debris from the incoming water line to protect the inlet valve and water system
• Useful to replace when sediment or scale is found during valve maintenance
• Fits in the valve's inlet port to keep particles out of the valve body

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Access the rear water inlet valve, relieve line pressure, and remove the supply line
• Pull out the old filter from the valve inlet and fully seat the new filter
• Restore water, check for leaks, and purge air by running the dispenser

Electronic water inlet valve that controls the appliance's water flow during fill cycles, restoring proper filling and helping prevent overfills, persistent fill errors, or water leaks when the original valve fails. What it does:

• Opens and closes to route water into the appliance when signaled by the control board.
• Responds to electronic fill commands; a failed valve can cause no-fill, continuous fill, or error-code symptoms.
• Can allow water leaks if seals or valve body fail.
• Works as the unit that meters fill volume for cycles that require water.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any repair.
• Inspect inlet hoses and seals when installing; replace damaged hoses or gaskets to prevent leaks.
• Test the appliance through a short fill cycle after installation and check for leaks.

This single-solenoid water inlet valve controls the flow of water from your home supply into the refrigerator's water system, typically feeding the ice maker. A failing valve can stop fill, cause slow or inconsistent fills, or allow unwanted seepage.

• Opens and closes when energized to regulate water to the appliance's water circuit
• Common symptoms: no ice production, small or hollow cubes, water seeping into the ice maker, or leaks at the valve
• Electrical failure (open coil) or mineral debris can keep the valve from opening or closing properly
• Restores proper water fill and reliable shutoff when replaced

• Unplug the refrigerator and shut off the water supply before servicing
• Relieve line pressure and place a towel or pan to catch residual water
• Label or photograph tubing and wires for correct reassembly; cut plastic tubing square and fully seat it
• Restore water and power, then check all connections for leaks

This inlet valve controls water flow into the appliance, restoring proper fill cycles and stopping leaks when a valve fails. Replace a faulty inlet valve to regain consistent, reliable water delivery. What it does

• Opens and closes to allow water into the appliance during fill cycles.
• Replaces a valve that can cause no water, slow fill, or intermittent filling.
• Stops unwanted water flow or continuous filling when internal seals fail.
• Prevents leaks caused by a cracked or worn valve body or seals.

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting any work.
• Relieve residual water pressure and place towels or a pan to catch drips.
• Basic hand tools required; follow OEM instructions.

This inlet valve controls the water flow into the appliance so it fills when needed. Replacing a faulty valve restores normal fill cycles and helps prevent water delivery problems. What it does:

• Opens and closes to allow water into the appliance during fill cycles
• Stops water flow when fill is complete to prevent overfilling
• Common symptom: appliance won't fill or has low/no water flow
• Common symptom: appliance fills continuously or intermittently

• Disconnect power and shut off the water supply before starting
• Use basic hand tools; avoid overtightening inlet fittings or damage to ports
• Inspect hoses and seals; replace damaged hoses or gaskets as needed
• After installation, restore power/water and run a test cycle to check for leaks and proper operation

This water inlet valve controls water flow into the washer, restoring proper filling and cycle performance. It replaces a worn or leaking inlet valve to help stop no-fill, slow-fill, or continuous-fill issues. What it does

• Directs hot and cold water into the wash tub when the machine calls for water
• Opens and closes solenoids to regulate fill volume and timing
• Stops water flow when the cycle or pressure switch signals to close
• Can stop or reduce leaks caused by a failed valve assembly

• Disconnect power and shut off the home's water supply before starting
• Inspect and, if needed, replace inlet hoses and gaskets when installing
• Tighten hose fittings by hand then snug with a wrench; avoid overtightening
• After installation, restore water and power and check carefully for leaks
