Bosch Refrigerator Not Getting Water? Magnet Valve 00649626 — OEM Part Now Discontinued

If your Bosch B26FT-series refrigerator stopped dispensing water or the ice maker stopped filling, the magnet water valve is the most common cause. In most Bosch bottom-freezer refrigerators, the magnet valve controls water flow to both the ice maker and door dispenser — when it fails, water stops flowing entirely or the valve leaks continuously behind the unit. ⚡ Common failure point in Bosch B26FT50, B26FT70, and B26FT80 series refrigerators. Part 00649626 was the genuine OEM replacement valve — this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer. Used stock may be available above.

❓ Is This the Right Part?

This was the correct fix if ALL of the following were true:

• ✔ Refrigerator powers on and compressor runs normally
• ✔ Water supply line to the fridge is connected and pressurized
• ✔ Water filter is not clogged or overdue for replacement
• ✔ ONLY problem is no water at the dispenser or ice maker not filling

🔧 Common Symptoms

• No water dispensed at the door dispenser
• Ice maker stopped producing ice or not filling with water
• Water dripping or leaking from behind the refrigerator
• Humming from the valve area with no water flow

✔ If these symptoms match, the magnet water valve was the most likely failed component.

✔ In most cases, replacing the valve restores full water and ice maker function immediately.
