The function of the Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve (Triple Solenoid Water-Valve, Water Valve, Water Inlet Valve, Refrigerator Water Inlet Valve Assembly) is to release water from the supply line when activated, and send it through to your water dispenser or ice maker in your refrigerator. The water inlet valve is located at the back of the refrigerator, and connects to the water supply. The valve can break from material fatigue or normal use. If your water inlet valve is malfunctioning, you could be getting a lack of water to the inside of your refrigerator. Your ice maker may not produce cubes or your water dispenser may not work. The water inlet valve must be replaced if the solenoids no longer have continuity or the valve has internal blockage. This valve measures approximately 7 inches long and 4.5 inches wide, and is constructed of plastic and metal. It comes in blue, and includes the valve and mounting bracket.

icemaker stopped making ice

Even though my wife said that our icemaker broke, there was actually nothing wrong with it. It was the valve that let water flow in during the 'harvest' cycle.
A real easy way to test the icemaker without voltage and current measurements, is to fill the tray by hand with a little cup of water; wait till the water freezes and see if the maker dumped the ice into the bin.

water leaking out of refrigerator

In my specific appliance the water valve is located in the bottom right hand corner looking at it from the back. To get to it I remove the thin layer of cardboard the covers the back of the fridge. I then proceeded to disconnect the 1/4" copper tubing which is the water feed coming out of the wall. Then I removed the screws that hold the valve assembly in place. I took the water valve out and removed the electrical connections as well as the plastic tubing which feed the water dispenser and the ice maker. To install the new water valve it was just a matter of reversing steps.

This kit includes the ice maker, power cord, bail arm, and fill cup. If your ice maker is not making or dispensing ice, or you notice a leak, you may need to replace the rear-mount ice maker assembly. This ice maker mounts to the back panel in the freezer section of the side-by-side refrigerator. If you are having an issue with the arm of this kit hitting the shelf, you will have to replace the shelf. You can find the shelf by searching PS1152582. To complete this repair, you will need a 1/4-inch nut driver and a small flat blade screwdriver.

Customer Repair Stories

Icemaker would not eject ice from tray

After three years of cussing this 5-year old fridge for not ejecting the ice, and having to reach in and pull it out by hand, I fixed it with $100 and five minutes. Worse, I probably could have gotten Sears to honor the warranty and replace it when it first started acting up.

Repair could not have been easier. Loosened the two screws/fasteners with 1/4" drive socket set (straight-slot screwdriver wouldn't bite in the shallow slot). Do not remove screws completely; assy lifts up and off the screws for removal. Turn the unit slightly, unclip the electrical connector and remove. Installation is the reverse. Ensure assy sits flush on the screws to assure tray is level.

Although I probably could/should have unplugged the fridge first, I did not. I made sure the ice maker assy was off prior to installation to keep it from cycling on as I attached the ice maker electrical connector, which is before the remounting procedure.

Now it's making so much ice I have to find the plastic shelf cover for the ice bin to keep it from overflowing (which also helps move the ice level bar up to temporarily suspend ice production).

Follow installation instructions provided by the manufacturer when installing this part to ensure accurate results and further guidance. Remember to unplug the refrigerator from the power source before starting this project. The air filter may be located in different places depending on your appliance, but is usually on the inner right or left side. See your manual for exact location. Our customers rated this as a very easy repair that takes only a few minutes; just locate and remove the old air filter and insert the new one to complete the repair, which requires no tools.

This dispenser crusher housing may also be known as a refrigerator ice crusher housing, and is compatible with your refrigerator. The function of the dispenser crusher housing is to shield the ice crushing blades within the ice container. To make this repair you will need a Phillips screwdriver, a flat blade screwdriver, a quarter-inch nut driver, and a pair of channel lock pliers. For this installation, work gloves are recommended. Note that this piece may look different or be a different color than the original, but this part will fit and function in the same way as the original part.

Original gate broke at the swivel point

I removed the old gate by using a flat head screw driver to pry open mouth. I then removed 2 bolts that held on the cage that hols the ice crushing blades. Then I inserted the new gate and used a screw driver to pry the mouth open again (it was more difficult to insert than remove). I then popped in the new gate and re-assembled the cage. It worked on the first shot with no problems!

This is the 3rd time I have attemped and successfully repaired major home appliances myself after the warrenty ran out. I'm sure I could buy a new appliance for the money I saved.

The Bottom Door Bin is also commonly known as a "cantilever shelf" is a clear plastic drawer which holds items in the bottom area of your fridge's interior, on the door. This OEM part is very easy to install and will not require any tools, you will just need to snap the mounting tabs into place for removal and installation. If damaged you will notice visible damage or have problems holding items in the fridge. If damaged, it should be replaced. Check your model number and user manual to see if this is the right part for you. This is important, as many fridges use multiple door bins, many of which vary slightly. This part is sold individually.

Took bin out to wash and it broke getting it out

No tools needed. Just had to slide the bin into place. HOWEVER, the bin has a jig-jagged style plastic groves on each side that need to be slide carefully into place. I couldn't get the orginal bin out in order to wash it. It looked easy - just slide it up and out of place, but when I did that the back, inter-locking pieces cracked off. I believe this is a terrible design and the bin should be replaced at the manufactures cost! The other bin slide in there with some elbow-grease. Good Luck!

The drum ice maker broke in half so it couldn't dependent the ice.

I had removed the housing that the drum was in and taken the screws out to get to the broken drum. I removed it there was a set of 6 blades that crushed the ice that had to go back on the same order when I removed these I put them on a piece of wire in the order they came off (so I would get them back I the correct order). Then I reversed the order and reassembled it in the opposite direction . It was fairly easy to do. I'm a 68 year old disabled woman so if I could do it I'm sure you could to. Good luck. It cost me $14.00 if I had bought the whole assembly it would have been $150.00. So it was well worth my time and effort.

ice maker is stuck on crushed ice.

We had someone to come and look at it and we were told it was the solenoid valve. The repairman unstuck it for us and said when it does it again, he would have to order the part. We took it upon ourselves to order the part and DIY. We replaced the part that we were told was the problem and "guess what" it's still not fixed. It's still shooting out crushed ice. Will have to call repair guy back out here to see what we did wrong.

Ice maker wouldn't change from crushed to cubed ice

First I pulled the ice tray out so I could see the solenoid housing/ice tray support(1 unit). Below the ice tray there are 2 screws that hold the solenoid housing/ice tray support. After removing those the assembly lifts up so you can see the wiring harness to disconnect. I pulled it out and removed the 2 screws to open it up. There is 2 screws holding the solenoid in place and one ground wire. This was an easy fix and I know I saved a lot of money.

This is the replacement water filter base for your refrigerator. It is approximately 3-1/2 inches by 3 inches. It is made of white plastic with two blue water filter receptacles. The water filter base connects to your refrigerator and is the part that your two-headed water filter fits into. The main reason you would want to replace it is if you notice a leak when you connect the water filter, or if it is noticeably cracked or damaged. This part is sold individually and is a genuine OEM part.
