Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Ice maker does not fill or produce ice
• Water dispenser has low or no flow
• Water leaks into the refrigerator or ice maker when water is not being requested
• Ice maker overfills because the valve does not fully shut off
• Valve buzzes or operates without delivering water

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the refrigerator’s water supply is turned on and the supply line is not kinked or obstructed.
• Check household water pressure; the valve requires at least 20 psi to shut off properly.
• Inspect the valve, tubing connections, and surrounding area for visible leakage.
• Use the refrigerator’s model-specific diagnostic or dispensing operation to determine whether water is being requested; do not assume the valve is defective from a symptom alone.
• Before electrical inspection or service, disconnect power and follow the appliance’s service instructions.
