Common Symptoms
- Ice maker does not fill or produces little ice because water is not admitted.
- Water dispenser flow is weak or absent when the refrigerator has adequate household water supply.
- Water continues entering after the dispense or ice-fill command ends.
- External leakage at the valve, tubing connection, or fitting.
Check Before Replacing
- Confirm the refrigerator water-supply shutoff valve is fully open and the supply tubing is not kinked.
- Check the valve, tubing connections, and quick-connect fitting for visible moisture or leakage; do not operate the appliance if a leak creates an electrical or slip hazard.
- Compare the symptom between the dispenser and ice maker: failure of only one function does not by itself prove the inlet valve is defective.
- Inspect accessible tubing connections for loose seating or damaged tubing before replacing the valve.
- If replacement is performed, restore water slowly and check the valve connection for leaks; avoid overtightening compression connections.

Installation Notes
- Shut off the refrigerator water supply before disconnecting the old valve.
- Use the supplied bracket, hardware, fitting, and instructions where applicable to the refrigerator configuration.
- Seat the water tubing fully in the quick-connect fitting and verify the connection is secure before restoring water.
- Restore the water supply slowly and inspect the valve and connections for leakage.
- Do not overtighten compression connections; tighten only enough to stop leakage.
