Whirlpool WP2188808 Water Inlet Valve OEM Part

Kenmore model 106.74252402 fridge with icemaker. Believe it or not, this was fixed with only a 1/4" nutdriver. The parts fit exactly and took 10 minutes each to replace. The most surprising was the inlet valve. I didn't need to cut any tubing since the old valve had push-connectors like the replacement. It was identical. Simply pushed the fitting to remove old tubing and pushed into new part. Pull off plugs and push onto new part. 2 screws hold valve to fridge frame. Screw cardboard cover back into place. Simple, quick, and only one tool. The hardest part was manhandling the fridge out of and into its space. Saved lots of money! The icemaker was just as easy. Two screws loosened, 1 removed with nutdriver and new part slid into place of old. Push electrical connectors together. Installed wiring was identical to unit replaced. Re-tighten screws and worked instantly. My only wish was that APP offered a "max-ice" replacement model like my old one. Kenmore gas range model 362.75695891. Also fixed with only the 1/4" nutdriver. Broiler igniter had died. 2 screws held it to gas tubing vent. Easily accessible and no need to remove or loosen any other part. One screw held metal cover on back oven wall that partially covered passthrough hole for wiring. NOTE: keep the metal cover screw separate from the igniter screws. They are not interchangeable (machine vs. metal screws) even though they are both 1/4". Only slight hickup was that the igniter's electrical connector was female and so was the connector from the oven. Had to cut off both and use ceramic wirenuts which were supplied in replacement's box. Minor inconvenience. Another super-easy fix that saved money. Both repairs, and a previous clothes washer fix, brought new life and performance to appliances I had been using but not to their full potential. Wish I discovered this site sooner!

My son watched the video on the website and followed instructions and replaced it. The part was an exact match and no modifications were needed like the video showed that there might be.

After determing that the ice maker was working, that is the gear and tines were turning around as they should, I then realized I was not getting any water into the ice tray.concluding that the water valve was bad, I typed in the part # from the valve to the parts pro web sight, ordered up the part on Sunday, received it Tuesday, took 5 minuets to install and was making ice in no time

Replaced with a new valve. The part I ordered was an exact match.

Car parts two days after I wear them , watchEd the tutorial and have the new one in in less than 20 minutes. Save myself $200. Will buy parts from you whenever I need them
