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 NSF-Certified OEM filter is white in color with a plastic housing and extruded carbon filter media. It measures 2.3-Inches deep, 9.1-Inches high and 2.3-Inches wide. It fits certain Frigidaire side-by-side models after 2009 that use a water filter located in the back, top right. Filters all dispensed drinking water and the water used for making ice. It minimizes chlorine flavor and smell and cuts down on common contaminants by 99 percent. You will need to replace the filter every six months or when the light indicates. To install the new filter slide it into the housing and push until it locks in place. Press the indicator button for ten seconds to reset after replacing.

Ice maker not working good

Shut off water supply at the main, drained water from lines, pushed filter in from end of filter then pulled out. Removed the 2 plastic protecting tubes from the inlet and outlet stems. Made sure filter was facing same way as the old one, pushed filter in making sure it was locked, turned water supply on slowly, ran about a gallon of water thru filter. If not done the taste is odd. 5 minute repair.

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.

Water filter would not disconnect from OEM Water Filter Base

Disconnect the two water supply tubes at the base of the Water Filter Base. Using a 7/16" open end wrench, press up on the blue "O" rings to disconnect the tubes. Use a Using an 8" long magnetic phillips head screw driver I was able to unscrew the 4 short screws holding the original water filter base and the immovable attached water filter. Replacement was easy. Simply slide the new base into the fixed slot on the refrigerator and reinstall the 4 holding screws. Reconnect the water supply tubes to the Water Filter Base. Install a new water filter.
