Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Ice maker stops producing ice
• Water dispenser does not dispense water
• Water leaks from the valve or connected tubing
• Ice maker overfills because the valve does not shut off completely
• Reduced water flow when the valve or supply path is restricted

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the refrigerator water shutoff valve is fully open and the household supply line is not kinked.
• Check or temporarily remove the refrigerator water filter if the dispenser and ice maker have reduced or no water flow.
• Inspect the inlet-valve connections and tubing for visible leaks, loose connections, or damage.
• Verify that household water pressure is adequate; RepairClinic identifies a minimum of 20 psi for the valve to shut off properly.
• Before inspecting or replacing the valve, disconnect refrigerator power and shut off the water supply.
• If the valve receives the appropriate activation signal during a fill or dispense request but water does not pass through, the valve may warrant further testing; do not replace it based on symptoms alone.

Installation Notes

• Shut off the refrigerator water supply and disconnect electrical power before service.
• The valve is located at the rear/lower area of the refrigerator; access varies by model.
• Label or note tubing and electrical connections before disconnecting them so each connection returns to the corresponding port.
• Use the existing mounting hardware and reconnect tubing and electrical connectors securely; do not force or damage push-in tubing connections.
• Restore the water supply gradually and inspect all valve and tubing connections for leaks before returning the refrigerator to normal operation.
