Part #W10833902
This water tubing clamp keeps the 3/16-inch diameter water tubing mounted to your refrigerator. Its purpose is to prevent shifting, kinking, or loosening of the tubing, ensuring a consistent water flow for the water dispenser and ice maker. It is typically located at the back of the cabinet near the inlet valve. If the clamp securing the tubing in your refrigerator is not properly secured, it can result in leaks or complete detachment. This poses a risk of water damage to your fridge, flooring, and nearby structures if not addressed promptly. To replace the clamp, refer to your user guide for its location. Then, use a screwdriver to remove the securing screw. Please note that this clamp is sourced directly from the original equipment manufacturer and does not include any additional hardware.

Zip Tie
Part #WPW10339879
A zip tie, also known as a cable tie or a wire tie, is a fastening device that holds wires or tubing together. If a machine has wires or tubing that are easily shifted, you need to hold them tightly together using a zip tie. It is a flexible, plastic strip that has serrated teeth and a locking mechanism. If the zip tie is damaged, it should be replaced. Freely moving wires may rub against surfaces, causing them to break over time. Zip ties are single-use and may not be reused after they are removed from a machine. To release the locking mechanism, you will need to insert a small flat tool into the head of the zip tie, between the tongue and the serration, and depress the bar. You can then pull the teeth out of the mechanism to loosen the cable tie. This part is produced by the original equipment manufacturer and is sold individually.

no water getting to ice maker
80 of 95 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Kevin from Boston, MA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
The ice maker had been slowly dying and one day just stopped making ice. No water was getting to the trays.

I read that this could be caused by a failure of the valve, even though the continuity test indicated that the solenoid was okay.

I ordered the part Friday afternoon. It was delivered Saturday. I did the repai r in 10 minutes.

I pulled the fridge away from the wall.

I unplugged the fridge. I closed the water supply valve.

I unscrewed the two mounting screws using a flat head screwdriver.

I pulled the old valve out from refrigerator.

Using an adjustable wrench I detached the water supply from the valve. I detached the hose leading to the ice maker from the valve.

I pulled the electrical connectors from the connectors on the valve.

I attached the hoses to the new valve, attached the electrical connector, screwed the new valve in its place, opened the water supply, plugged the fridge back in, checked for leaks, and waited for a few hours.

My ice maker is working better than it has in at least two years.
