the existing poly hose developed a leak in valve
The video was fantastic provided by Part Select. Only difference I found was the use of shark bite connections, instead of screw on nuts for the top two hoses. Shark bites have to be pressed and removal can be done, would be a good idea for the video.

Water leaking in ice tray and under frig
the main water valve was leaking causing the water under the frig. But the double out let valve was not holding causing a ice build up in the ice bin. The repair was not complicate you take back cover off turn off water. use the nut driver to unbolt the valves from the frig with frig unplugged use screw driver to remove the power plugs fr
... Read moreom valve. use flare nut wrenches to remove main water line.push on plastic retainer rings to remove plastic tubing. remove valves from bracket and then reinstall in reverse order.
I reasoned that the water-value was caked with hard water deposits, or perhaps just worn out. I traced the plastic water line to the back of unit, then found the double water valve. I was not "sure" that this was the problem, but I order the part any way and it fixed it!! The removal /installation was pretty easy. First turn off the water
... Read more supply to the unit. Then loosen and remove the incoming copper pipe from the unit. Remove just two 1/4 in. hex head screws and carefully pull the unit out a bit. Then remove the electrical connectors and the plastic tubing connectors. Just do the reverse to install it. I am very happy with the item ordered from PartsSelect. Perfect. And shipping time was fast too. Thanks guys.

No ice
First installed the double outlet water valve, did not fix the problem, I then put ice ice maker assembly and we had ice.
repaced limit switch, and actuator pad fixed the problem. Limit switch was the reason for water and ice not shutting off. Seems that the spring inside switch was shot and would not retract to off position. While we were going to change this switch out, we repaced the scuffed up actuator pad also. Knowing the age and our hard water problem
... Read mores, we replced the double outlet water valve for preventive reasons that would arise down the road.

Does this water inlet valve work for this Whirlpool refrigerator
For model number Gd5dhaxvbo7
Hello Doug, thank you for your question. Unfortunately, that is not the right valve. The correct water inlet valve for your appliance is Water Inlet Valve Part Number W10408179. Please note: This valve has been updated by the manufacturer and no longer includes the removable pre-filter bracket connector. It must be ordered separately; part number WPW10445062. Please enter the part numbers into the site for current price and availability. Good luck with your repair!

My ice cube maker overflows sometimes. It makes ice cubes but leaks water into the freezer onto the floor. When it overflows it just keeps delivering water dies not shut off. I am not sure but the shut off arm in the ice cube tray may not be shutting the water off either.
For model number JCD2388GES
Hello Richard, thank you for your question. Chances are, the water valve is staying on too long. You can test the water valve by following the information at this link. https://www.partselect.com/Refrigerator+test-water-valve+repair.htm. If the valve is fine, the issue would be with the icemaker itself. I hope this helps!

Ice dispenser works but when I push the water to fill the glass can't get any water. Prior it would work 1 to 2 days then not work for a day or so then work again for a day. Now for the past week cannot get it to dispense water. What would we need for parts and how can we repair it without having to call a repairman?
For model number JCD2289AEB
Hi Wayne, thank you for your inquiry. The issue seems to be with the water tank assembly. A refrigerator's water tank assembly channels the water coming in from the water inlet valve through the water filter and onto the dispenser. If the tank assembly is frozen, or a water line is crimped, water may not be able to get through. Inspect the water tank assembly for any obstruction or damage and replace the water tank, part number PS11743176. Use the following instructions to replace the water tank:
1. Turn off the refrigerator.
2. Remove the rear access panel.
3. Remove the tube from the water inlet valve.
4. Remove the lower base grill and locate the water tube.
5. Remove the drawers from the refrigerator and remove the water tank assembly.
6. Replace the old water tank with a new one.
We hope this information helps!
