Description

This replacement valve switch assembly restores proper electrical control to the refrigerator's valve, helping re-establish reliable water/ice dispensing. It replaces a worn or faulty switch so the valve responds correctly to dispenser or ice-maker commands. What it does:

• Routes electrical signals to the valve so it opens and closes when the dispenser or ice maker calls for water
• Helps stop symptoms like no water or ice dispensing, intermittent dispensing, or a valve that won't actuate
• Replaces a failed or corroded switch assembly that can prevent the valve from responding
• Works as the control interface between the fridge wiring and the valve solenoid

What's included: One valve switch assembly. Install notes:

• Always disconnect power and turn off the water supply before beginning service
• Take a photo or label wire connections before removing the old assembly to ensure correct reassembly
• Use basic hand tools; avoid forcing connectors — inspect wiring and connectors for damage and replace if necessary
• After installation, restore power and water, then test dispenser and ice-maker operation for proper function
