Icemaker water leaking due to crack in water inlet valve
I followed the instructions on your video. I'm a 69-year-old female with a hip problem. The most difficult part of the job was getting back up off the floor when I finished.

Valve damaged by water freezing in it
Removed old valve - very easy and intuitive. Identified damage and ordered new valve kit. Installation was easier than the instructions said. It was not necessary to trim the plastic water lines.

CustomerRobert from Downingtown PA
Valve was leaking into ice maker
Followed on line instructions when searching for repair of water inlet valve for Kitchenaid refrigerator. Perfect instructions and an easy fix.
Pulled fridge out. Turned off water supply. Removed cardboard backing on bottom rear of fridge. Removed old valve on right hand side. Removed hoses by pushing in on the rings and holding then pulling out hoses. Installed new valve being sure to push hoses the whole way into vale. Turned on water to check for leaks then replaced cardboard. About 20 minutes total.
Keep some towels ready for the water that comes out of the hoses. Don't worry about matching hoses, they are different sizes and easy to identify. I recommend removing the entire cardboard backing of the fridge so it is kept in good condition.

Water inlet valve froze over winter and was leaking.
I watched the video and went to our cottage which we close over the winter. I got the tools and did just as the video instructed Viola! It works. I am a 75 year-old woman. My husband stood there and watched me, in awe! What fun. Thanks.

CustomerWain from Valrico FL
No water to ice maker
I shut off water to the fridge and then unplugged it. I used an adjustable wrench to remove the water line from the unit. I took a 1/4-inch nut driver and removed the screws holding the access panel and the 2 screws that hold the unit to the fridge. I disconnected the 2 electrical connections and all the tubing going into the unit. I reconnected the electrical and the tubing and reattached the unit to the fridge then replaced the access panel. I reattached the water line, plugged fridge back in and turned on the water. I flushed the line for about 2 minutes. It was a very easy process. It took approximately 5 hours for the first cubes of ice to drop so be patient.

CustomerDamon from Cedar Park TX
Ice maker would not make ice
I ordered a new ice maker because at least a couple of the parts on my old one were broken. I also ordered the valve because I wasn't sure that wasn't also the problem (turns out it was still functional). I removed the ice maker cover, one screw that held a shroud over the water inlet, another screw that held the ice maker to the inside of the freezer, disconnected the wire harness, and slid the ice maker out. I reversed the procedure to install the new one. It was a real breeze! I have returned the valve to Partselect and have been making ice ever since. SO much easier than buying bags of ice all the time!
