No water is going into the ice maker yet the door water dispenser still pumps water. Can the water valve pump be faulty if the door water dispenser still works? Fyi the ice maker still rotates and the fill tube is not frozen or blocked.
For model number ED5GTQXKT00
Hi Gregory,
Thank you for the great question, yes the valve is a dual valve, one side for the ice maker and the other for the dispenser. One side can become defective and effect just the ice maker. I suggest replacing the Water Inlet Valve part number PS11731255.
Hope this helps!

The water dispenser on our refrigerator had a delay in dispensing water several years ago. I took apart the valve and it started working again. The ice maker has since quit filling. I took apart the valve again and the ice maker started working but the water dispenser delay is back and is getting worse. There is an electrical hum for several seconds, then it eventually dispenses water. I 95% suspect an inlet valve replacement would fix, but would appreciate a confirmation or other ideas. Thank you.

Ice maker works great. But when I get water through the door, the water doesn't totally shut off when I take the full glass away. I checked the micro switch by just looking at it, it looks fine and sounds fine when arm is depressed. Could it be that the valve the micro switch operates is bad and needs to be replaced or cleaned out?
For model number KSRS25QDWH03
Hello Guy, Thank you for the question. This sounds like the Water Inlet valve is Stuck open and allowing water to flow through to the dispenser. I suggest replacing the valve. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!

I change the water inlet valve and forgot which hose goes where. Can you help me with this issue
For model number 106.57572791
Hi Thomas, thank you for your question. It looks like the green side would be for your ice maker tube and the red would be for your water inlet valve. The tubes are not the same size and the connections on the solenoid are also different in size as well to reflect that. The water dispenser tube is usually the smaller of the two. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

There's no water going into icemaker. I changed the water inlet valve (w10853654) and still no water. What signals the solenoid to open and close the valve?
For model number ED22TQXG00
Hello Ed, Thank you for writing. I believe that would be part number PS2341896 Icemaker Control Assembly. You should of course check this part before replacing, however it may be the cause of the problem. Good luck with your repair!

Ice maker rotates and goes through cycle but there is no water in tray to make ice. I suspect the inlet valve. Where is this located so i can check it.Thanks
For model number KSRB25QGSS01
Hi John, Thank you for the question. The valve is located on the back of the appliance where the water supply hooks up to the appliance. Good luck with the repair!

My ice maker flooded the freezer. So much water it ran about a gallon of water in the floor before I got the main water supply shut off
For model number KSRS25QDWH01
Hi Richard, Thank you for the question. This sounds like the water valve may have become stuck open and allowed water to flow into the icemaker. I suggest checking the valve to see if it is releasing water. Hope this helps!

Water keeps dripping in ice boxes
For model number ED22TWXDN02
Hello Harley, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the following parts to fix your issue: the water inlet valve, the ice maker, the ice maker fill tube, the nozzle and tube kit, the water tube kit, and your ice mold. You can test the water inlet valve, the ice maker and ice mold with a multimeter. If you are unfamiliar with how a multimeter functions, there are YouTube videos available to assist you. Hope this helps!

The in-door water dispenser stopped working but the ice continued to work.
I first had to identify the faulty part. I ohms checked the micro switch in the door. It was fine. I traced the wiring to the inlet valve at the bottom of the rear of the unit. I checked the voltage to the solenoids and it was good. After checking the schematics on the Whirlpool website, I determined the only possible faulty part was the inlet valve. I found the correct part here on PartSelect and ordered it. When the part arrived I changed out inlet valves by turning off the water supply, unplugging the refrigerator, removing the two inlet valve mounting screws, and disconnecting the wire terminals. The inlet water line was a 1/2" compression nut and the water and ice outlets were hand turn compression nuts. I reversed the removal steps to install the new valve, turned the water on, checked for leaks, plugged in the refrigerator, and the new valve worked perfectly. The feeling of accomplishing a DIY project was only topped by a happy wife who really didn't want to spend the money on a new fridge!

Water Inlet Valve
The installation was very easy. Unplug the refrigerator. Turn off the water supply and disconnect from the old valve. Remove the old valve and disconnect power connectors for each valve, disconnect the Ice maker water tube and the Water dispenser tube. Because of the new replacement part, I needed to cut the threaded connectors off of the water tubes. Carefully make straight cuts. Insert the tubes into the correct inlet valves, make sure they are inserted properly, 1 for ice maker, 1 for water dispenser. Connect the power connectors to the new valve. Mount the valve onto the refrigerator. Connect the water supply. Turn on the water supply valve. Check for leaks. Plug in the refrigerator. Test water dispenser and then ice making capabilities.
Seems like a lot of steps, but they are logically connected for this repair. Easy replacement.

Had ice build up the size of a football in the ice maker. Water valve wasn't shutting off.
First we knew that the water valve wasn't shutting all the way off with all that ice build up. So we shut off the water. We defrosted the refrigerator! Let it stand open door all night. Checked the new water valve with the old one and exact fit. Cut off the water lines as the new valve had push fittings. The main feed line was still compression fitting. We added a new in-line water filter as there was no filter on the old valve water supply line. So hope this helps with the new valve life. Was an easy fix and any handy man can do this job.

Ice maker not making ice and water leaking from ice maker line
Initially I though we had a bad water inlet value and possible ruptured/cracked water line to the icemaker. Once I replaced the water inlet value, water continued to leak from top connection of the hose into the ice water fill tube and at bottom connection into the dual water inlet value. I discovered by reading back through PartSelect's troubleshooting and answers that the problem might be the ice water fill tube. Once I removed it (2 screws and some tugging) it came right out. I saw that it was frozen solid with a plug of ice restricting water from filling the ice maker. I used my wife's hair dryer to melt the ice plug and reattach. Within 30 minutes we had our initial batch of ice. I did in the end have to replace the water line between the water inlet value and the ice maker to get the water leak repaired. I've returned the water inlet value to PartSelect for credit.
I closed the water valve under my kitchen sink feeding the inlet valve, then moved fridge forward, removed cardboard cover used nut driver. removed water inlet valve. The water lines on the old valve had connections with nuts threaded on. On the new valve just needed inserting the water lines all the way in. Re- mount the valve and install the cardboard cover. open the water. ready to go. Then I pushed the fridge back to its place.

Valve was leaking water all over
Unscrewed 2 screws holding valve to fridge, disconnected the electric wires and water line. Pulled valve out and cut water tubes and inserted into new valve and reconnected all electric and water. Icemaker works great and no leaks.

Easy repair, fixed no water coming from water spigot.
Repair was easy, just remove screws from cover, remove old valve. Cut off the old nuts from the waterlines. Stick the ends into the new valve. Replace all screws. Maybe 15 minutes all told.

ice maker now works
the part came in a box not wrapped in plastic and had obviously been installed before since the ice maker water line insertion port already had a piece of broken off tubing filling it. when I installed my water line it leaked like crazy and only after I took it out did I notice the tubing. I removed this with a needle nose plier and re-did my tubing install. It now works well.

Great experience
Finding the part I needed on the website was easy using the mechanical drawings on site, which, in my opinion is the primary concern. Delivery was within the time specified, but not within the 1.8 day average. Can't complain really. No problems with the install, everything went together as expected. Bottom line: I would definitely recommend PartSelect to anyone needing parts to fix your appliances.
